Thank you for watching.

+David Giles You're welcome, and thank you.

Thank you for watching, glad it helped.

Thank you, and you're welcome.

You're welcome and thank you for watching.

+COLTON wideOPEN You're welcome.

Thank you for watching and thank you for pointing out the torque specs for the bolts. I do try to update my videos in the description time to time and I see that I missed this one. I will go ahead and update the description with the proper torque specs.

@@cavemanjoe79 Thanks for the video.

Thanks for torque specs . Also I was wondering if you ever apply any “Thread locker” on bolts . I usually put a little dab of blue especially if removing the brackets that hood the calipers to hub . Maybe overkill . Merry Christmas and great video Joe .

doesn't matter - the rotor rotates....you can spin it to be positioned in front of the parking brake adjuster.

You're welcome and thank you.

+megal0maniak Thank you.

+Dan Daniszewski You're welcome.

+Tom Newton-the hole doesn't stay lined up with anything as the rotor turns with the axle. The brakes stay fixed on a backing plate attached to the axle housing. If you want to adjust the parking brake, just pop out the rubber plug, rotate the rotor until the hole is over the star adjuster wheel (gives you access to the adjuster wheel), and then turn the adjuster. Hope this helps clarify.

You're welcome, and thank you for watching.

Before putting the new pads in I use the c clamp to compress the piston in the caliper down, which pushes fluid back into the reservoir. I was taught it's a good idea to remove some fluid before accidentally overfilling the brake fluid reservoir. Plus now is a good time to replace as much brake fluid from the system as possible.

@@cavemanjoe79.. I get that, but I'd suggest that if, once the pads get worn down a little and the owner sees there is a "need" for brake fluid and they add fluid to get it back to the full line, the system is actually OVERFILLED. In this situation, squeezing with the C clamp (and I use one too) will cause the excess fluid to come out around the cap and take the paint off anything it touches. But if the system does not have an actual dripping leak that has caused it to be re-filled to the "full line" the volume of a properly filled system when new (again, assuming no dripping leaks or fluid added subsequently) will not overflow. Again, not trying to be an A$$ here, it's just that the new fat pads displace the same amount of volume as the fat pads when the vehicle was brand new.

I used the pub nuts for the wheels to hold the rotor in place, I don't know what brand of keyed lug nuts they where as they came on the truck when I bought it.

@@cavemanjoe79 Let Me Know What Was It And Size I Need One That Kind To Tighten My Car Rim Nut..Please Let Me Know.Thank You

I just try and put everything back exactly as I took it out, less confusion or issues later that way.

@@cavemanjoe79 well you can guess what I did took them out and quickly mixed em up.

Yes, and I also engaged the four wheel drive.

The calipers are the orivinal ones that came on the truck, the rotors and pads were part of a kit from Powerstop that I bought from Summitracing, I picked them up at the store, so there is no link from a website, sorry.

This kit is their pickup truck specific model, and I did notice a little bit of an improvement, although if one is not towing a lot then their own replacement kit may be the way to go.

joe thanks

+Scott Wilson They're the Powerstop Evolution Sport from Summit Racing. I bought the whole kit for all four wheels for under four hundred bucks.

+caveman joe awesome. im going to be installing fog lights on my frontier on wednesday hope that goes smooth.

Good luck.

Because new rotors usually come with a layer of protective oil on them. The area he cleaned is the area that needs to free on contaminants. The inner part where parking brake pads are is of less concern.
