John, thanks for the great video! I just replaced my rotors and pads. Your video was right there the whole time in case I forgot something or needed to quickly go over the procedure. One thing that I came across that you did not mention (probably because you didnt run across my issue), was that I could not get 2 of the slide bolts to go back into the rubber sleeve. Its like the sleeves closed up when the slide bolts were removed. I panicked but figured out that the rubber sleeves are replaceable. Once I removed the sleeves I could see that there was a strange buildup between the metal and the sleeves that caused them to close up. It was a hard, scale like residue that had to be scraped out. Luckily the local MB dealership had a few sleeves in stock at a ridiculous price and it took a bit of cyphering but I got them replaced. If I had ordered these before hand it would have saved $50 for a rubber sleeve. Im writing this in case anyone else has to go through this since I couldn't find anything online about this issue.
I Always put anti sieze on that damn torx screw. I think it's just an assembly line screw but who knows. I've had to break so many cause they won't come off
Sir, thank you very much for taking the time to make this video. I sincerely appreciate every minute of it and it is very detailed!
Great job John. Thanks for your expertise.

Wow! I will keep this up for others to read I. Case they gave the same problem. Where did you get the replacements?
You're so great. Your teaching are awesome. Thank you.

Sure that one thumbs down was an accident. Great video 👍
I have found out that no matter how good they are there will always be a hater. LOL. I just do the best I can and move on.
Thank you very much. That was an excellent video.
Thank you very much for Sharing the video John
With all the work in replacing the rotors and pads, why not replace the park brake shoes at the same time ????
You surely can do that as well. m mine looked pretty much new.
Great video! Thanks! :)
Glad you liked it!
I always curious where to put the jack stand. Its the one thing I am concerned with because I don't want to put it under something that might be bent.
How much do you torque the pins down to?
Did you jack up the car from the differential?
Great video next time make it 10 min
Do we spray rotors down w cleaner?
Its amazing how much a garage charges for this. 😂
Thank you for sharing your video.
My pleasure
