Commenting to say thanks. Saved me a couple hundred bucks. Took me less than an hour start to finish and was my first brake job on this vehicle.

Good explanation. I would of gone for cleaning & greasing the caliper bolts with fresh caliper grease. Thanks for good lighting and verbal cues.

8:30 Rear Brakes start here. Good lighting & camera angles. You can see the correct orientation of the brake's stainless steel hardware. On this vehicle, on the the rears, it has the wear indicator clips on the bottom. On the other hand, on the fronts, it's on top. Oh yeah, using OEM pads makes this process easy. For the Southern States, I would reuse the OEM stainless steel hardware plates for the first pad replacement. On the second, I would pay the money and get OEM or Carlson stainless steel hardware set. The quality/fit 'n finish of third party hardware can be frustrating. My 2 cents.

While I have all this apart I grease the lower ball joints and tie rods with a needle injector tip fitting on my grease gun, grease from the back side.

Nice video. Simple and straightforward. It would be nice to know what was the mileage on the old brake pads, and car overall. Also, it would have been nice to do a quick peek at the condition of the rotors, as you mentioned that the new pads will just adjust to the existing grooves on the rotors. Most other videos indicate that if you see or feel grooves on the rotors, you may need resurfacing, or if too deep, you may need to replace the rotors.

The car had 60 thousand on it with this service, and this was the first brake job since it was new. The car has put another 30,000 miles on it since then, brakes seated in fine and are on track for probably another replacement in another 30k miles.

Awesome video! What size wrench did you use with the 14 mm socket? I tried to do the brakes today and realized I don't have a wrench thin enough to fit. 😅
