Great video! Did mine today and didn’t have any problems. Took 5 hours start to finish; 2 hrs for the first one just to go slow, recheck the vid, and double check torque specs. The other 3 took 45-60 min each. Rears are much easier as there’s more room in the bigger wheel well and the bolts aren’t as tight. It was absolutely all my ass could do to get the front ones to 170 lb/ft. I also took my time jacking each wheel as my driveway has a slight slope. Could probably do it in less than 4 hours with a lift.

Recommend cleaning the rust from the caliper (inside surfaces that are under the hardware) with a wire brush. This ensures that the pads are not too tight in the caliper.

I done this twice with orginal OEM and only got 10,000kms out of a set and I'm definitely not hard on brakes and don't tow. They'd warp easily. So the third set are drilled and slotted all around. It's been two years and no issues. Drive a 17 HC 6.2L with 50,000 kms. Great content and keep them coming. Fan from Sydney Nova Scotia

Also, before pushing pistons back in caliper take off master cylinder cap and put rag on top of screen. Not doing this may backfill your master cylinder reservoir and overflow on flow or get all over your inter fender well. Nice job.

@ricktieken7025 2 жыл бұрын

Here is a tip. Make sure to open the bleeder when pushing in caliper pistons. You do not want to push dirt/rust back into the ABS module. Then remove as much brake fluid as possible from the master cylinder and top it off with new fluid. Last tip, when first pumping the brake pedal, only push it half way or less with each pump. Top off with new fluid and you are ready to test drive.

Wouldn’t this introduce air to the system

@ricktieken7025 Жыл бұрын

@715glizzy6 No, it will not. Open bleeder and push the caliper piston in. Once the piston is fully compressed, close the bleeder. If you leave the bleeder open, it will gravity bleed an continue to drip, so make sure to close the bleeder once the piston is pushed in. If you do get an air bubble, open the bleeder until you have solid fluid with no bubbles and then close it. Make sure to top off master cylinder when you are done.

It may make it a little easier to compress. If you do this, put a rag around the master cylinder as some fluid may come out.

@TheSundaeDrive 6 ай бұрын

You most likely don't have the rotor oriented properly. Try rotating it to a different position so that the retaining. Screw hole lines up. If that doesn't work, you'll need to carefully sand down the remains of the old screw without damaging the hub

@@TheSundaeDrive Just did mine Saturday (2016, 1500, 68K miles) and two interesting points- my front caliper bolts were 18mm but the bracket bolts were 19mm... and yep, thread locker. Holy crap, tightest bolts I've ever dealt with, even w/ breaker bar it was just short of impossible to move them. I most definitely did NOT use thread locker when I put it back together and my future self will thank me :)

@Braunschweiger89 2 жыл бұрын

I had changed out my wheel hubs and bearings on my 17 silverado. Watching several vids (not this one) nothing was said about anti seize or thread locker on any of the bolts that I could find. I put anti seize on the break caliper bolts and torqued them to spec and it took two days before my brake caliper came completely loose (bolt gone) from the rest of the wheel assembly. This almost destroyed my wheel and thankfully the 2nd bolt held on or couldve been catastrophic. Moral of the story, i would NOT use anti seize as it sort of acts like a lubricant. Maybe I just got unlucky.

@TheSundaeDrive 2 жыл бұрын

I think you may have gotten unlucky or used the wrong torque spec. Ive always used anti sieze (only a tiny tiny bit tho) and have never had any issue. I did my change 50K miles ago now.

@Braunschweiger89 2 жыл бұрын

@@TheSundaeDrive I used the torque specs that most of the videos mentioned. No idea what happened. I put a small amount of copper anti seize on the threads after wire brushing them clean of the old corrosion. Never would’ve thought that would happen.

@TheSundaeDrive 2 жыл бұрын

Yeah that's pretty crazy.

@thomascook4655 Жыл бұрын

I totally agree. And experience the same situation on my 05 Chevy. My front caliper bracket bolts did not hold their torque because I used anti-seize...instead of threadlocker. Engineers know their stuff. When they call for threadlocker use.. basically threadlocker will keep the corrosion out of the bolt and prevent that boat from loosening up. I believe anti-seize is a good product when it's used in the proper situations. Like preventing a wheel from becoming stuck to a hub. Lot of people use anti-seize on spark plugs. Which causes grounding issues to the block. Spark plugs should be installed dry. (To ground properly to the block)…And wheel lug nut should be installed dry. It affects the torque rating. Hey I'm 60 years old. Been working on my own vehicles since I was 14. I'm basically a Chevy man but I do admired Toyota products. Replace the timing belt on one. Timing chains on my Chevy. A clutch on my sabb.. did the front axles on that Sabb too. My 05 Sierra replace alternator, radiator couple of batteries, old changes every 3 months, spark plugs and ignition wires, rack-and-pinion, power steering pump, inner and outer tie rods, AC compressor and condenser and dryer learned a lot from repairing my AC it's best to pay a professional I spent $1,100 fixing my air conditioning.. because I had to do the job twice. I didn't properly flush all the contaminants out of the system.. so I had to buy another compressor and condenser and flush the system properly.. so that double the cost of the AC repair.. I flush the transmission change the transmission fluid and filters a couple of times over the last 190,000 MI decide to replace the u-joints on my drive shaft. Replace the lower motor for the AC a few times, changed out the rear differential oil.. probably my fourth last year replacing my rear main seal on my engine because it was leaking oil at about a rate of a quart ofoil week.. dropping the driveline and transmission behind.. was quite an ordeal when you just have shade tree mechanic and you're working in your driveway that job was very tedious but I got it all back together after 4 days. All I have to say if you're not mechanically inclined it's best to pay a mechanic.

@MrJoeeano88 Жыл бұрын

The exact same thing happened to me. Luckily I was only driving 40 km/h and was able to pull over immediately. The caliper was being held on by 1 bolt and began smashing on the inside of my rim. The second bolt came completely undone due to the copper anti seize on the threads. Never again! Only red loctite on those bolts from now on.
