Brake Pads and Rotors Replaced! 2016-2024 Camaro SS 

And GM wants to charge me $2600, LOL!! I just spent $250 in brake pads and rotors for my fronts. Thanks for that refresher video. 👍🏼

As always top tier how to videos! Awesome channel 👍

One of your best videos to date thanks for the upload!!!

No joke on the man handling the rear caliper. Long breaker bar ladies and gents.

Another great vid Matt. I was wondering if you were going to mention the TTY bolts.

Thanks a lot for your tuto 👍

Thank you, never had Brembo brakes before. Wasn't sure how to get the pads off. Shit, that's easy peasy. Again thank you. Now I can get pads that don't dust my rims in 15 minutes of cleaning them, lol.

Thanks!

What's is the torque ft lbs for the brake calipers? Thanks!

Did you put lock tight on the bolts? (Caliper bolts) mine came with it stock, how much should you tighten it up?

Thanks Lethal for your videos. Followed your video for painting my calipers, and thinking about it now I painted over my caliper pins also. Did you have any problems getting them out?

Do you install braided stainless steel brake lines?

I have the 1ss 2017 SS convertible I’m tryna order the brakes but the pads I see the weights are like the old brembo not like the ones I see you have or is that the original pads ?

Somehow every video I watch from you sir have convince me of getting a 2016 Camaro SS!

The back does it have any sensor we have to worry about when changing the back brakes

I have a 2018 ss and I know the stock brembo pads don’t use brake and caliper grease.. do these pads need to be greased before they go in?

Did you have any trouble with the rear pads from what you can remember ? I notice the inside pad for the rear do not go all the way through

Do you still use the same brakes now with new upgrades to your car?

Any reason for not going w/ slotted disc brakes?

Which rotors did you go with?

Hey lethal what kind of rotors are they

Does the officil fifty edition ss have the ss rotors or the zl1 rotors? I got a mechanic telling me chevy put on the heavier rotors on and didn't change the part number on the official fifty edition ss. Do you know?

Love your videos man! Keep up the good work. Quick question, I been looking around but I can’t seem to find a solid answer. I’m looking at replacing my stock calipers on my 3.6 L 2LT/RS with Brembo. I’ve read that the front ones can be replace with a 4 piston but I’m not so sure about the rear. I’ve seen some 4 piston for the rear but not sure if it will fit.

Whats the size of the bolt to remove the rear caliper

I've got a 2017 camaro zl1 manual. The e-brake is a button. What's the process of releasing the brakes to do this job??

Quick tip, you can use your Jack to lift the wrench and break the rear caliper bolts loose.

How many miles were on your pads before you replaced them?

@ lethalcamaro what are your thoughts on slotted power stop rotors to replace the stock on the 6gen camaro ss?

How did you turn your rotors without messing up the costing

What size are the stock rotors

Lethal i have a 2017 1ss Camaro and my front brakes squeal and i am thinking of resurfacing the rotors and changing the brake pads which brake pads do you recommend ? Are those brembo? By the way great video very helpfull

For fasteners that have a critical torque value, I'd highly recommend using Loctite. I've seen impact torqued fasteners come loose from vibration because Loctite wasn't used. I'd also recommend an actual torque wrench because of bolt stretch over time.

@lethalgarage thanks for your vids; general info follows: those dang front caliper bolts (from factory i own the car since new. 66k miles now), 2017 camaro 1SS. turns out is 18mm. \Start my saga: due to limited clearance maxed out my ratchet style torque wrench (150ft-lb). broke easily, then after a few turns, got stuck. then tried an pneumatic impact wrench (,maybe air compressor wasnt pushing enough scfm's) , nope wont go past a certain point. then put some wd40, tried again. nope. gave up. used the torque wrench tighten then up again, just enough so i can the car to my mechanic. goal was to install brand new slotted/drilled Powerstop rotors with low dust Brembo pads. /end of my saga

nice vid. i know you have the car secured on jackstands but there is no way i would stick my legs under the car with the wheels off like that.

Thumbs Up. Great video.....

How much of that brake fluid would you need

Matt - I'm curious how your refinished rotors held up long-term. I've heard it's advisable to replace rather than refinish. I'm needing to do something about mine because they're warped.

My pads are fairy worn out, so I went to my mechanic to get a quote in pads. They told me these brembo brakes systems should ONLY use brembo oem parts and the rotors should never be cut because of the amount of heat these generate, the pads would wear out even faster from the amount of metal you are removing from the rotors. They would have to be replaced. What are your thoughts/experience about this?

There's a light in the dashboard that turns on as well as a code in the computer when you take off the rear brakes. How do you avoid this?

Hey lethal. Been looking to replace my rear rotors and pads. Seen to keep on ordering the wrong ones May you pls give me the right size and parts number or even link so i may order them.. thanks ! keep the good vids coming

Would this be the same for any trim of the camaro within those years listed in the video?

If it was me doing the brake job. I would have ordered cross drilled & slotted rotors all the way around from Rockauto probably... I'm doing that to our 2012 T&C mini van, since I'm rough on that vehicle and warp/pulse the front's from time to time... By the way, when are you going to do the pro-charger video, I'm impatient. =)

I have a 2022 camaro ss. Need front brake pads the pads you used dont show up for my year did you post wrong part number

Us men know how to find holes 😎🤙🏽

Notice any brake squeal from your oem set up? I have a 18 ZL1 and noticing a ton of noice with apx 3000 miles

with all these mods and price for mods, next one maybe some impact sockets. those chrome ones can crack with the torque from the pneumatic tool and can potentially harm you or someone if you have a video helper. js

And of you have a link to the punch pin tool, would be great as well.

I have a set of 2013 CTS-V calipers (front and back), I have been told they will fit a Camaro, just curious if you heard of anyone swapping them out? I am debating on getting a Camaro SS and watching your channel is making Jones to get one and do some mods. What pads are you going with that don't dust?

Did you need any compression tool for the calipers?

I'm looking to replace my rotors (I have Brembo calipers). I wanna know, do I need to compress the pistons and open the bleed valve, or can I just push the pistons back to remove the pads? Or even, can I just remove the caliper from the rotor with the pads intact and just put the caliper back on the new rotor?

Hey Matt huge fan been a subscriber for a few years. Always look to your channel for mods or maintenance. Are those 5 mm rear spacers? Happy with those do you wish you'd gone wider?

Great stuff as usual! Going to do mine next weekend . I can assume the new retaining clip is either totally idiot proof or a pain in the ass because installing it kinda got skipped 😆

So i called in for a price range on my 2015 camaro rear breaks. They gave me a quote for $395. Would you recommend I do them myself. Would it be cheaper?? I also have all the tools needed.

I got the brake upgrade on my 2016 2ss. Do you happen to know the pt# for the powerstop pads?

If I'm just doing the rotor lethal I just need to take out pins only right ?

What tool did you use to take the pins out , can you attach an amazon link to me please, i never done brakes before want to try thank you.

Do these come with both (passenger and driver side) brake pads ? For the rear and front ? Hope you can get back to me soon

I tried to replace my rotors on my last car using hand tools. I stripped the one screw on the hub (Don't use a screwdriver). Luckily it was the first one so I wasn't 3 in. I ended up calling it day after that LOL. I bet the next owner was PISSED when they went to have them replaced.

Wow that is $44 well spent. Rotors look so nice ! Did you paint those calipers on the car or did you take them off to paint them?

What brand/type and size in mm is the socket you used to take off the caliper, can’t seem to find it.

my stock calipers are fading... where did you get the red ones from?

Are those the same 4 the 2ss 1le

Is your car has electronic parking brake or manual parking brake? I don't actuallu know what is difference

Turned and resurfaced is the same thing right? Never heard anyone use that term before although I am from the other side of the country.

Just an FYI... it takes a 21 mm socket to remove the calipers, 13/16 will only go on the tip and mess up the bolt.

Whats the rear caliper bolt size?

How can you have a torque wrench right in front of you but use the air impact instead? Aren’t those bolts steel into aluminum?

What kind of brake pads are they again?

I only have 800 miles on my SS, should I still get my rotors turned?

Why do you mark caliper bolts?

My new brake pads won’t slide in. It doesn’t look like it fits

Love the White Car #sslife #chevyssnotsedan

Can I have your old pads mine are shot

thanks for attempting to help, maybe next time think of including the location of the rear bolts and their sizes as those are the only parts we cant see and theres like 92738 bolts back there

Trying to do this right now and it is a bitch. Working one rear driver for like 3 hours now. Brake pads don't want to go back in.

Am i tripping or the knuckle bolt holes that hold the caliper have no threads

So theres no break mode? U gotta set the car into?

can you tell me part # for a 2017 zl1

I was watching you do this video and when you got to the rotors I was like what the f*** are you talking about turned?🤔 most people call it resurfacing😏

I’m hella dumb for this but when you do the back does the parking brake need to be off? Lol😅

Additional info you WILL need regarding front only. 2016 SS. It's a great video but what Lethal Garage does not show you clearly and explicitly is there are 4 smaller bolts on the back of the caliper. DO NOT take those out. I did take them out and then the caliper began leaking brake fluid. I am not referring to the "bleeder" screw. There are two rather large hex head bolts on the back that you do need to take out to get the caliper off. They are both the same size. On the head of the bolt they read "SFP 10.9". I used a 13/16ths socket and big ratchet to get them out. I had to put a break over bar on and use a 2 pound hammer on the break over bar to get the bolts loose. The slide pins that hold the pad clips are both the same size, there is no difference in top and bottom pins. If you have never done brake pads before then I do not recommend this job for for you as it is a few degree more difficult than most brake pad changes I have done on other vehicles. I did both the pads and rotors this time and it was a bitch. The rotors were rusted and seized to the hub big time. I had to hammer with that 2 pound sledge to bust the rotors loose and get them off. If you screw up the little screw that holds the rotor and cant get it out then just drill it out. If you're the type that doesn't like a pain in the ass then I recommend that you don't do it. If you don't mind a real PITA and dropping a few dozen F-Bombs then go ahead.

I was like: Sears?! Oh the video is 6 years old

Not really fond of using the marker...most stores will loan you a torque wrench if you don't have one..later in the video I see you have one and didn't even use it to put the calipers back.

why didn’t you mention what bolt size and tool you need for the caliper bolt 🥴

I don't understand why people do car work in flip flops. Gonna lose a toe at some point. Breaking lose bolts with a torque wrench is also a bad idea. Indexing the suspension bolts is also a bad idea. They stretch. Use that torque wrench and some blue loctite on suspension bolts. You don't want them coming out.

You don't have to take the calipers off...

Good video.... except for the background music which was AWFUL. Dump the music, it's not required for a brake change. Thanks.

$11 a rotor for turning? No wonder Sears went out of business.

You should pay me to come do the work for you while you just narrator

Or buy a torque wrench....

Is that annoying background music really necessary ? it adds nothing to the video

Good choice on brakes… awful, and I mean AWFUL choice on background music. Makes the video unwatchable.

Why the gay music? Ohh, NM , u have a big strong Kyle.
