Thank you so much! Your video is much clearer and easier to understand than others. Ive never changed my own brakes before and this has given me the knowledge and confidence to do so!
There are a lot of armchair critics out there... the procedure I showed in this video worked just fine and there were zero issues with the brakes until this vehicle was sold on 5/2024.
Do the new rotors have to have anything on them that allows the ABS to work properly? Will ABS work with any rotor specified for this application? Thanks.
My guess is the O ring keeps the rotor from moving around during factory assembly. Also to keep rotor from moving around when trying to reinstall the caliper. But I’m not a mechanic or expert and that’s just a guess.
Yeah that was my guess as well. Probably something for the convenience of assembly more than anything else. Just an odd use case for an o-ring, but it is a clever one because they're dirt cheap!
Yeah I normally do when access is an issue but was actually pretty good here. Looking back at it now, it may have given you guys a better camera angle. So sorry about that 🙂
Hey Joe, stop using the carpenter's hammer. Get yourself a dead blow auto mechanics hammer you going to get something in your eye? Hopefully it's not a piece of metal
I don't know Joe. You say you've been doing brakes for 20 years but I watched a few videos and you look like you're confused all the time and you do some of it backwards all wrong

Great video would love to know the name of the attachment along with any other abrasive attachments for fast rust removal 😎
Today same of course same one
Don’t forget to brake clean new rotors they come oiled to prevent rust

There is nothing on the brake rotor that supports ABS
All the mounting bolts 6-point or 12 points to get the mounting bracket off?
Been a little while since recording this but I believe they were 6 point.

Always turn your steering wheel in so you can work for better access

I have a few, they usually don't have the mass to do the job.

Brakes are working just fine. If you don't like the video, don't watch.
