Thanks for the video! Did my front ones easily but the rear rotors were STUCK. Even hammering off gave me problems and then had to knock them back on as well and prayed I didn't mess anything up in the process but after I finished and tested around the neighborhood I didn't notice any issues. Glad to have saved 4-600 bucks too.
Thanks for the comment, and believe me I know all about stuck rotors LOL :) I'm really glad you got it all done, and saved some cash in the process. A good feeling for sure !!!
How can I get that plug and play t for my zl1? Adding a mighty mouse catch can and don't want to cut factory hoses. I see other guys getting this t from you..
Ok you did a good job..but not very detailed. What is the little rubber plug in the rotor? And my rotors won't coke off like your did? Is there something I have to do through the littler rubber hole on the rotors to release them?
Hey there, the little rubber plug can be removed so you could turn the star wheel located inside and that backs off the park brake shoes so the rotors should come off easier. The plug should go back into the new rotor. Now the problem is when most people service the brakes they want the cheapest price so corners are cut and the tech never lubes these parts so most of the time they are all seized up and you can't turn that wheel anyway.
You are right it can if you go berserk on it. Usually if you don't do to hard its ok. I have never had a problem. Now if they are really stuck on then sometimes you can use bolts to push them out (that is the preferred way) but sometimes you just have no choice brother. Good comment, and you are right. BTW - loved the Rascal Flatts on your channel !!!
I got it from Amazon amzn.to/3LruIQh the only difference is the case is blue now, but its the same one. I have used it quite a bit. I find the plastic ones are kinda useless, but the steel ones are good.
Yup, and down in the brake area I think the debris flying would chip it all up anyway. I had a friend who was using his car for highway only and most of the paint was stripped off the front bumper, looked like it was sand blasted.
Hey there, you don't have to bleed the brakes if you are just pushing the piston in. But if you have time..... A good practice is to open the bleeder and then push the piston back in, then let the fluid start coming out again. Most dirty fluid is in the caliper, so you are getting rid of the dirty fluid. If you do this don't forget to top up your master cylinder as it will be low.
Hey there and thanks for the comment, its ceramic brake caliper pin lubrication. The one I was using was by permatex. amzn.to/3BRMpny Its great for not washing off, and can be used for a variety of stuff. I do find that on the caliper pins it seems to dry out faster than some of the other brands I have tried.
