All demo videos throughout the world should be forced to be done like this. I love the close up detail socket size and the fact that none of the steps are left out and are time lapsed. You win the internet.
Why can’t everyone make stuff this easy? Like seriously ppl make 20 min video’s on this stuff. This man wasted no time and got right to the point. Thank you sir for making my life easier.
Hands down the best video for changing brake pads on a Nissan on the internet. I used this procedure on my 2012 Nissan Maxima and was done with both sides in under 20 minutes. Thanks for posting the video!
Not only does this video teach you how to replace rear brakes, it also teaches people how to make a damn good youtube video. No obnoxious dubstep opening music. No dude yelling "HEEEEEEEY GUUUUUUUYS!!! IT'S YOUR BOY DIY-TIME BRINGING YOU A VIDEO ABOUT HOW TO CHANGE BRAKES. BUT BEFORE WE GET TO THAT I WANT TO TELL YOU ABOUT SOME MERCHANDISE I HAVE FOR SALE!" No begging for likes and asking you to smash that subscribe button 15 seconds into the video before literally anything has happened. It's just a really good video showing you exactly how to do what you came here wanting to learn how to do. 10/10 on clarity and execution. I liked and subbed b/c this is EXACTLY the kind of content I want.
Fantastic demonstration thanks man. There are so many good people and TH-cam channels intended for informative propose rather than commercial ones. And you are definitely one of them. Appreciate that.
Thank you for this great video. I like the fact that you just showed us the process, without going into this history of auto making. I have to do the rear brakes on my DIL's car later today, and have not done rear brakes before. Someone said the rear are more complicated, but this video makes it look pretty easy. Thank you!
This was the only video that pointed out that there are two different pad backing. Had to learn the hard way when I put the caliper back on then the wheel would not rotate luckily I found this video when I noticed two different backings
1:25 He forgot to place the pad with the ware sensor on the outside, if your doing this job please remember to do so. And also Lube the caliper guide pins. Everyone makes mistakes sometimes, I do. No one is perfect.
4 things I want to add. 1. Cap of Brake reservoir should be opened and some fluid removed so it won't spill out when you push in the piston. 2. Use brake cleaner fluid to remove brake dust. 3. Change the brackets which hold the pads, not necessarily but most kits come with new ones. 4. Apply brake grease obviously the sides of pads that come in contact with the pistons or they might squeal, more so if you use long life or hard pads.
Take a few extra minutes to remove your caliper guide pins, clean and regrease them. It is important that they move easily, so the pads wear evenly. Also, when you torque down you caliper bolts and wheel lug nuts, use a torque wrench with the correct specs
Thank you so much for the video. We were trying to take the bottom boot out with with difficulty. Saw how you did it, and boom done in a few minutes both sides.
Did you have to loosen the bottom nut, in order to expose the brake pads? I can’t fit my ratchet around the bottom nut, but I didn’t try twisting it downward like you did.. monkey wrench was slipping on the bottom nut too. Thx
REMEMBER to grease the caliper slide pins!!!!! That's why I'm here...cuz that silver bar (trailing arm?) is in the way. It won't let me pull out the caliper slide pin so as to grease it. Do I have to remove the trailing arm???
great video! i would only add that you need to pump the breaks after....though most will panic pump them anyways and stop eventually...good job! changing my friends tomorrow definitely slightly different clips on the front compared to my f-150 and wife rav4
DIY-time No thank you my friend thanks to people like you doing the do diligence to make these videos I was able to change my wife’s friends brakes easy as pie
Straight to the point. I like your style vato 😎. Btw do the back rotors come thinner than the front ones, mine look like yours and i was thinkin i need to replace them
Tried changing my rear brakes yesterday and took the top caliper bolt out and it would not spin open to expose to pads is it possibly just because it is cold and it’s expanded?
+Wes Spence Use rust remover first and then spray rotors with anti-rust spray: www.amazon.com/gp/search/ref=as_li_qf_sp_sr_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=dp051-20&keywords=Rust_remover&index=aps&camp=1789&creative=9325&linkCode=xm2&linkId=3e8583795c62f348bb3d32364de3f5c8
Hey guys, I am planning to buy used 2012 Nissan Altima. In the inspection report, the width of the rear brake pads came out to be 6mm. I just wanted to know do I have to get them replaced soon? Also, how much would it cost me (parts+labor work)? I am yet to learn driving in that car. Never driven before. Any sort of help will be appreciated. I don't know much about cars.
Brake pads should be changed around 3-4mm. Usually there are also brake pads wear indicators or sensors on modern cars that will warn you when its time to change the pads.
I seem to be the only one having a problem sliding those break pads in.I have the exact same ones as in the video.I don't know what i am doing wrong.Every body says"Just slide them in!" But that's not as simple for me,so frustrating!
Really? No cleaning the hardware of rust? No grease? No torquing the bolts? No grease or anti-seize or anti-squeal on the pad backs or sliding spots? Terrible advice.
Not one video on the internet tells you what to do with the psrking brakes being engaged so you cant even start. they all start the video half way through like this
The fact that you say this video is a acceptable form of education for DIYers is upsetting and majority disappointing. He did not even spray with brakekleen or mention mask is REQUIRED OR FATAL TO HEALTH IF BREATH IN ANY OF THE FUMES. Also that is not a service jack let alone are you ever supposed to use it to lift on side of vehicle or to hold vehicle weight WITH NOTHING TO STOP IT FROM ROLLING AND EXPECTING ONE JACK STAND WILL SAVE YOU IF IT EVEN WILL. Also no lubricant on metal siding of brake pads this video should be deleted period.

😁 Thank you!
I'm glad my thorough attention to details is appreciated!
Yes, not cleaning and lubing contact surfaces on the fitments and slide pins is THE proper way! TH-cam University!
Why can’t everyone make stuff this easy? Like seriously ppl make 20 min video’s on this stuff. This man wasted no time and got right to the point. Thank you sir for making my life easier.
My pleasure!
The longer the video the more money the creator makes. That's why they pussy foot around and tell you their life story...

20min? wow. thats awesome for a first time
It was so fast because he didn't clean the hardware, no brake cleaner, didn't lubricate the guide pins. Still very informational video.
Finally! An instructional video without any unnecessary explanation. Just show me what I need and how to do it. Way to keep it simple.👍👌
Thanks!

It actually works both ways for me...😉
It also shows how smart and intelligent you are 👌
☺️ Thanks...
best video ever. to the point and no wasted bs!! ty
Thanks!

If only everything in life could be done in time laps like this
Well, I wouldn't want certain pleasures of life to be fast forwarded....
It is possible with enough knowledge and experience
Fantastic video. Just did mine, 2007 with plenty of rust. Found that removing bottom 14mm bolt on front calipers easier than top.
Now that’s what I’m talking about for simple and fast great video thank you! I just watched one prior to this he couldn’t even hold the camera steady!
Thank you!
my brother - you've got it goin' on!
👌 NP pal!
And I'm finna fix my girls back breaks right now in my garage. Thanks homie.
My pleasure!
I love it i can't believe it was that easy i recently just i got my brake pads and rotors changed for 150$. should've done it my self
ivan7247 150$ for just the labor work ?
That's an amazing deal!
That's actually a great price
1:25 He forgot to place the pad with the ware sensor on the outside, if your doing this job please remember to do so. And also Lube the caliper guide pins. Everyone makes mistakes sometimes, I do. No one is perfect.
the editing was on point. thank you sir

Thanx! Worked like a charm on my 2009 Altima!
Great!
Thank you so much for the video. We were trying to take the bottom boot out with with difficulty. Saw how you did it, and boom done in a few minutes both sides.
Excellent video !!! The Jazz music is very soothing. Thumbs Up.
So do you turn the top bolt holding the caliper counter clockwise 🔁 or clockwise to remove?
U should have a Million views. That was they b far most easiest and fastest way I've seen
Thanks, that was my goal to make it simple!
Love it ....great job .... So basic ....nice soundtrack as well 😁
Thanks!
You should wire brush and apply slide grease to the shims
Did you have to loosen the bottom nut, in order to expose the brake pads? I can’t fit my ratchet around the bottom nut, but I didn’t try twisting it downward like you did.. monkey wrench was slipping on the bottom nut too. Thx
What happened to pulling slide pins to clean and grease them and changing pad seats with new ones?
Answered the only question I had, kick butt bro
👌🏻
Thank you for making it so easy
👌🏻
You saved me a lot of money today. I really appreciate it🤠
Awesome, thank you for sharing!
REMEMBER to grease the caliper slide pins!!!!! That's why I'm here...cuz that silver bar (trailing arm?) is in the way. It won't let me pull out the caliper slide pin so as to grease it. Do I have to remove the trailing arm???
What about bleeding the brakes?
really well done video.... you really helped me out here
👌🏻
Thanks this video helped out alot....
Glad to hear it!
Quick an easy great job
Thank you, this was extremely helpful!!!!!!!
great video! i would only add that you need to pump the breaks after....though most will panic pump them anyways and stop eventually...good job! changing my friends tomorrow definitely slightly different clips on the front compared to my f-150 and wife rav4
Good point, thanks!
DIY-time No thank you my friend thanks to people like you doing the do diligence to make these videos I was able to change my wife’s friends brakes easy as pie
I love messing with cars, plus its really rewarding being able to help others!
DIY-time keep up the good work always appreciated!
Straight to the point. I like your style vato 😎.
Btw do the back rotors come thinner than the front ones, mine look like yours and i was thinkin i need to replace them
Thanks!
It depends on a car. Cars with faster engine/performance may have bigger brakes/rotors.
I was able to change my break pads on my ‘10 Altima and save some money thanks
Nice!
Tried changing my rear brakes yesterday and took the top caliper bolt out and it would not spin open to expose to pads is it possibly just because it is cold and it’s expanded?
Possibly seized.
Don’t forget to grease the slider pins and on back of pads to avoid any squealing noises.
👍🏻
Yo what size channel locks did he use to push the inside of the caliper back? @1:45
I have Stanley model # 84-012
Wish they made more simple videos like this quick 😂😂😂
Rust😟 How do u get it off without taking off the original rotor?
+Wes Spence
Use rust remover first and then spray rotors with anti-rust spray:

*just dont apply to contact surface. If you do, make sure to clean it off thoroughly
Thanks !
Nice video 👍
What’s the difference between front brake & back brake?
Rear brakes are very similar and usually a bit smaller.
Front brakes are on the front of car.
Rear brakes are near the back.
Genius! 😂
thanks man, helpful video

Thanks!
U the man brother👍👍👍

what tool you used to push in the caliper?
I used channellock pliers.
@@DIYtime Do you remember the size?
12 inches or more should get the job done: amzn.to/33pMBvJ
@@DIYtime Thank you
great video how did you edit it?
+alejanzar
Thanks!
I record everything on iPhone and edit on iPad using iMovie.
It's free and easy to use, and it does the job just fine.
What about brake grease?
Yes, use that too.
good video
helpful thank you
You are welcome!
I seem to be the only one having a problem sliding those break pads in.I have the exact same ones as in the video.I don't know what i am doing wrong.Every body says"Just slide them in!" But that's not as simple for me,so frustrating!

You mentioned "no grease" twice. That means you don't get sprinkles on your donut either.
And what was his advice?
Oh relax.
Oh relax Terry
Thanks
Welcome
Cool music

Cant get the. Caliper off! I tied eve
I rounded off the top bolt. The bottom bolt is blocked and can't be removed first fml 😂
Tomorrow I try the 19mm bolts...
😬
@@DIYtime I just took the entire caliper off and was able to replace the pads that way. Still appreciate the video 💪🏾
Thanks!
No grease or cleaning lol! They will be screaming in 1000 miles
yep!
I fucking love you
jo
Just replaced my wife's break pads and no way in hell did that back pad go on that easily.....
If it's aftermarket sometimes they don't fit as nice as OEM
WTF... no mounting hardware replacement (clips, etc) and not even any cleaning whatsoever.
Saldy, this isn’t the proper procedure. What about the caliper lube, total fail. No no no sorry.
Agree, this is one of my older videos. Only shows the mechanics of the brakes change. I need to record a proper complete guide next time around.
At least clean the rotor allitle lol
The fact that you say this video is a acceptable form of education for DIYers is upsetting and majority disappointing. He did not even spray with brakekleen or mention mask is REQUIRED OR FATAL TO HEALTH IF BREATH IN ANY OF THE FUMES.

Great video.. ty
