I watched this video because I have a very bad sound in the brake unit and NOW I have learned a lot here I'll have to change it tomorrow. Thanks a lot for this video!!!!!!
TRQ I noticed at the end of the video that the caliper assembly was brand new. It appears that this particular Corolla was being used to film the replacement of the front suspension as well as the calipers, rotors and pads. IS there a video available showing how to replace the entire caliper assembly which would require bleeding the brake fluid reservoir.
What if you don’t have a torque tool do you just tighten it with what feels right? Also do all pads come with the wear indicator if not do you recommend getting one is it essential or optional ? Thanks!
Question. Do you have to purge the system by removing the brake line nut, pump the brake padel and open and close the port. Is that something that needs to be done after replacing the brake pads and rotors?
Okay. Just make sure you buy a torque wrench. I replaced them and one of the bolts that needed to be at 79ft-lb (5:38) fell and now I'm buying the torque wrench.
Wear a mask when wire-wheeling anything, as it can injure your lungs. I did not and now paying dearly for it with Irreversible Interstitial Lund Desease.
This job seems simple enough: except when the rotors won't come off.. or some bolt is rusted and it's been rounded.. In theory it can be very easy.. in practice a lot can go wrong..
