Good video, I would recommend pulling those slide pins out and greasing them very well for they are notorious for seizing with rust. And also dab anti-seize on the threads on all the bolts.
HI Steve, Sometimes with the amount of heat brakes can have in them they become welded to the hub, usually you can bang them free with a hammer if they don't break free.

You don't have to, but you can if you want to. Just collapse the caliper slowly so that the fluid doesn't spill out of the brake reservoir. You want to wire brush where the brake pads rest against. 1aauto.com 888-844-3393

Is it acceptable (ok) to push the fluid back into the reservoir (using the c-clamp) or should you use a brake bleed kit? A friend recommends that I purchase a brake bleed kit, but you didn't mention that, in your video. Thanks for the great videos.
For the top tab on the pads, one is taller than the other, how does it work?, also what happens if installed in the reverse order from back to front on the rotor?
question whats the most mileage on an alero , just asking cuz mine has 250000 on it original tranny and engine NO major repairs ??? i have a short video showing it running

You can compress the caliper as shown in the video with a C-Clamp.

Thanks for the great videos.
Would it somehow be possible for 1AAuto to ship worldwide?I have an Olds (Chevy Alero over here) in Hungary ,Europe.Or are there other options?
For the top tab on the pads, one is taller than the other, how does it work?, also what happens if installed in the reverse order from back to front on the rotor?
What do you do if they don't slide easily? 4:09
Thanks so much. I have a 1999 Alaro that needs pads and I wanted to try installation myself.
+harmonicamans Thanks for watching. 1aauto.com
Thanks, dude, appreciate it.
No unfortunately the rears are different than the front.
question whats the most mileage on an alero , just asking cuz mine has 250000 on it original tranny and engine NO major repairs ???
i have a short video showing it running
2004. 262,000 miles.
Such a pity you guys don't ship parts to Europe! I love the videos though!
the front looks like the rear, will the front calipers fit the rear mount?
No and the front brakes are two different sizes look at them close.
The rear is shoes or pads?
could you please do a transmissions fluid change on oldsmobile alero? thanks

What size c clamp are you using?
Thank you so much
+Allen Quintana Thanks for checking us out!
So I'm not sure what the heck is going on!? But I'm having an issue with the caliper hitting the dang rim.
I replaced the rotor and I just can't get the rim set without it rubbing.
Going school for auto tech worth it ?
