The front pads and rotors were super easy and accessible. The rears.... FML... I couldn't get the the triple square bolts off. I was able to get the top bolt off but not the bottom... there was no room to get any leverage. I may have stripped the bolt. Just replaced the pads and called it night. Gonna take it to the shop and see if they'll have better luck. You a beast for real.
Thanks mate, appreciate the help :) made the job super simple. If anyone doesn't have a brake piston compressor you can get away with large grips and a 6 inch g clamp, one with an end that rotates. If you do this take your time, only very lightly apply pressure on the g clamp
@livefasttoday just a few, downpipe, intake, airbags, eurodyne stage 1 tune, resonator delete and wheels. It definitely will help me for the rear, I need that tool for the caliper. I used a C-clamp for the fronts
Just a tip bubba clean that hun surface and apply copper anti-seize to it before putting the rotors on it avoids rotor run out witch is the rotor not sitting flush on the hub so it's not spinning true it can cause a vibration the copper anti-seize helps you avoid needing to beat it off in the future like you did with the old one other than that good how to video 👌🏻😎

Thanks bro, hopefully they are able to take care of it for you. I appreciate you saying that.

That's a great tip! I'll have to give that a try next time.
I own a white 13 gti....i love your vids.... i changed my fronts and need to do the rears
That’s awesome, any mods done to it? I hope this video helps you complete the rear.

@@moyseappr sitting on bags, that’s pretty cool. What wheels did you go with? Also, that caliper tool is so helpful for getting the job done.

Definitely, thanks for the tip. Should’ve pulled the angle grinder out and cleaned it up. Thank you
