For the front caliper bolts 275 ft lbs upper and lower. Do the guide pin bolt 32 ft lbs. Rear are 163 upper and 190 lower bolts. 32 for the guide pin bolt. Torquing to spec is important, because over torquing can damage the bolt by over stretching it. Under torquing has the obvious risk of vibrating loose eventually. Also, the brake pads can be inserted if the pad carriage is separted from the caliper. Then the spring clips can retain their memory. If you bend them out, you can not bend them back enough to get the spring menory right.
Easy peezy, the only thing I would recommend in the rust belt is remove the caliper from the bracket and make sure the bolts, aka, slide pins get lubed so they don't stick and move freely
Some pad kits come with the rubber boots that are on those slide pins . My power stop kits did . Also about the time you're doing pads . The brake system needed to be flushed .
How many miles have your Calipers ? Always wonder how long they last .. thank you for the video .. dealer charge too much for brakes , changing oil , fuel filters .. so now I am doing all myself .. thanks
Why does every front brake video on these trucks include replacing rotors? My pads need replaced but the rotors are fine. No videos on just pad replacement?
Your truck worth a lot of money to leave used rotors with new pads , the wearing is uneven and will damage prematurely the new pads .. I use the best brake pads and rotors because I tow and work with my ram .
Not good to beat on the face of your rotors whether you replace them or not, because when you beat on them with a hammer where do you think that energy is going? straight to your wheel bearings. either a puller or pressing out from the rear...see RU-vid... how to remove a stuck rotor WITHOUT a hammer
