@@FordBossMe thanks Rich. My 45 year old son helped me install new disc and pad on my 2017 Grand Cherokee 5.7 4x4 Summit. Right now 104,000 miles runs great Another 10k do front disc and pads again
Great video. The secret is to build up heat gently to deposit pad material onto the disc surface. So many variables - how good the OE brakes are, ambient temp, weight of vehicle, brand of pads / discs, so there's no same advice that holds for every situation, hence so many vehement opinions on this matter.
I always do the 30/30/30 rule. 30 mph to a stop. Hold 30 seconds. Perform 30 times. Thats how I was taught in training how I've always done it. Like you said everyone has their own way.
@@chrisr.986 I do a couple 30 down to 5 and then drive a bit to let them cool off. If you hold the brakes right after the bed in procedure, there's a good chance you'll end up with a pad imprint on the rotor, creating a pulsation.
Can see the logic to this, if you can do it start to finish without interruption on a quiet road. About 20 mins? Not long really. Gentle bedding-in, plus the heat soak from holding for 30s but each time this will be on a different part of the disc, so it will even out over the 30 applications. I will definitely try this method. Cheers.
30 times seems excessive to me but again do you, after you get the brakes hot and wait 30 sec are you in park and letting the brakes cool off? I like to keep the vehicle moving a bit so I don't cook the pad material in one spot after a stop I mean do what works but personally time is money and I could never do it 30 times
Hi rich good morning hope u had a nice nye questions for u my neighbor has a 2020 Nissan rogue at 54k his daughter needed new brake pads but he went to 4 places & all 4 places told him he needs to change out the pads & rotors no one wanted to do just pads they told him because the rotors were "supposably" thin rotors was this a up sale or the truth ?
You would have to get the rotor spec and measure to see if they can be reused. I personally have never put on just pads, the pad and rotor always seem to both be ready to replace between 70 to 80,000 miles. But a lot depends on driving, I bought my truck used with 30k miles and the dealer put new front pads and rotors on because the factory set was spent. Now it has 100k miles and is ready for front brakes again, mostly because it developed uneven pad wear on one side, which I suspect is due to a stuck slide. I think learning how to do a brake job on your cars is well worth it, because for $250 i can put on premium components in under 2 hours while sipping a beer and listening to tunes. I'll even invite a couple buddies over to hang out while I work and have taught several friends how to do thier own brakes, something my uncle showed me 25 years ago.
You should be able to get AT LEAST one brake job out of oem rotors. Unless, of course, they ran out of lining, and the backing plate ruined the rotor(s). Some rotors will say do no machine, but I don't believe Nissan is that style.
I'm been slacking on that and I apologize Ive had the best intentions to get it out and still have not due to a 1000 different things going on at 1 time
This "breaking in" of new pads and rotors is becoming the latest "must do" for drivers. Let me say this, have you EVER bought a brand new vehicle and were told by the dealership that when you drive off the lot, you must perform this "break in procedure"? I didn't think so. I've purchase several brand new vehicles and was never told to do this. Now, all of the sudden when you change your brakes from the factory installed brakes, you must do this. Do you really think the manufacturers have this in their user manuals? I've never seen it. I say, just drive the vehicle normally as you would every day and stop worrying about "padding in" your brakes. That's my opinion.
I work in a Nissan factory. They pull every vehicle onto these big roller things in the floor and they floor those things and get them spinning about 80 mph and hit the brakes . Every vehicle has the pads bedded and ready to go when it rolls out the plant. 😎👍👍👋
Here is the brake video on changing the brakes on rear of Colorado

Thanks for this information Rich. Will follow this next brake job.
Thanks for this video. I usually do it a couple of times and forget about it.

Thanks Rich. I’ll be replacing my rotors and pads on my 68 Mustang in a few months.
Thanks for demonstrating your method.

You suggested this procedure to me a while back and I performed it on both my vehicles it worked very well tyvm.

@@FordBossMe I meant a few 30mph to 5mph. 30 times would be a bit excessive 🤣
Incredible film sir Rich 👏
Absolutely 👊🏻

It is a measurable thing. minimum thickness is stamped into the rotor.

I’ll only pad slap my personal vehicle, and only if the rotors look minty. I scuff ‘em up with 120 grit.
Off topic boss but the f150 VRP UOA and Donaldson update ?
I'm been slacking on that and I apologize
