I have worked on cars for decades. Every time we get a newer car in the family fleet, I like a quick refresher before a job just to see if there are any quirks that I should know about. This is easily the best video I have watched on brakes. Straight forward, no obnoxious info, graphics or music and very well done. Thanks much.
Came here to see if the calipers had any weird sensors glad to see they don't, but as someone who works on their own cars I will say you did a good job explaining everything, very thorough 🤘
I've seen lots of videos where they don't slide the warning indicator in the tab. Thanks for confirming that I did it the right way. I was beginning to doubt myself.
The way you Explained the instructions in this video is so accurate. Thanks to you. I was able to change my brakes and my rotors on my car instead of paying $1500 to get off of them delay. Thank you so much. This was so helpful.
You should be a maintenance instructor. I'm not impressed with most videos, but yours is totally AWESOME. Thanks for sharing my friend, you saved me a bunch of money.
This is good! I actually had some friends do my brakes for me because I wasn't going to pay seven hundred dollars for an auto place to do it. But I think I need to become my own mechanic from now on. Hahaha! But learning to do brakes on my sentra is something I need to learn. Thanks for sharing!
By far, the best video on this subject I've seen! Thank you. I like that you added text to the video also. Not taking the time to clean and lube the parts as you've described just cost me the price of at least one rotor.
Good video, nice simple brake job. I would recommend removing the brake fluid reservoir cap before trying to compress the piston in the caliper though.
Better yet crack open the bleeder valve on the caliper to evacuate the old fluid as you push the pistons back in. That way IF you happen to have some contamination in the brake system you don't push that back into the antilock valve, Causing more problems.
This is a great!, Brake quotes around here are $400 all day job apparently.. & u get rotors wether u need em or not 😅 I think I'm gonna do this myself.
Always open the bleeder valve when compressing the piston because those brake lines have one way valves for anti lock brake system. Reverse fluid flow will damage that valve.
Great video. I’m glad I found it because I’m getting ready to do this on my coworker’s car for a little extra cash. What brand is the split beam torque wrench you’re using in this video? Also, you said torque the last caliper slide bolts to 20 foot pounds, but the torque wrench in your link is 25 foot pounds at its lowest setting.
Thanks for that useful video. Can you tell where the caliper pins with the rubber bushings belong? Top or bottom? I have a 2017 sentra. I took em out without realizing which goes where
@@lucaswang93 Rent a breaker bar from Autozone (buy it, then return it) to take off the bolt. Makes the job easier because of the extra torque you can apply to the bolt due to the longer length of the bar.
@@jasonm1702 Happened to me too. Had to buy a Drive Bolt Extractor Set from Autozone to grip the stripped bolt as well as a breaker bar to more easily loosen the bolt. They let me return it after as part of their loan a tool program.
Doing this job with your parts... but I cannot get the caliper bracket bolts off the front driver side. They wont budge! tried an impact driver, a long socket and a 220 lb weight on it (me...) and they wont even flinch. Got any suggestions?
@@lucaswang93 finally managed to get that one off with some penetrating oil, giant adjustable pliers, a hammer, and some luck.... I got the first bolt off, but the second stripped.... After wacking at it for an hour, the second finally came loose. Same exact problem on the back right passenger wheel. 😭. So far no luck on that one after 4 days of trying.
