Helo, thanks a lot for your imformative video it is really Instructive. I have a technical question about the sliding pins.Are they disigned to taket part or none of the innertia from the rotor disc when the pedal is pushed down or they should be free of such a stress, as when the pads are compressed the pads should take all or most of the innertia force to the bracket abutement . I say this because I have seen people fixing the problem of pin and bracket bore mild wearing by bushing it with brass or even plastic or tefflon sleeves, while force carry over should be a concern using tefflon or plastic above all. Obviously excess wearing leads to bad contact from rotor disc and pads and sleeve fixing might not be even a temporary solution other than new caliper bracket replacement. Best regards and sorry for too much wording.
Should hardware be on the front and rear or just the rear? I purchased brake pads for my 2017 Mercedes GLS 450 from the dealership, but the dealership box had only rear hardware, not front hardware. The shop that did my brakes showed me that my front brakes move back and forth because no hardware came with brakes. They also showed me that the rear brakes do not move because it has hardware. Should there be hardware in the front as well?
Yes, that hardware bracket should be present on both front & back. Think of it as the guide rail for the pads. If missing half the guide rail, then not good guidance.
Well that is a bunch of bullshit. There are control arms, the steering knuckle, half shaft axle, hangers, tie rods, ball joints, wheel well tub, an engine and all kinds of other shit right where he is standing. And I usually have to at least use compressed air and in some cases blow the cylinders out with grease or oil, because they are jammed in there so tightly.
piston boot and seal will not pop out as easy you showed on video,misleading as easy job,which is not easy and very dangerous, if you don't know what you are doing,it is not for any DYI,and home mechanic
ahoorakia it’s hard as hell to get the caliper piston out and usually requires compressed air. You’d also need to remove the caliper to take the piston out. This video is mostly good but then it turns into trash.
So the caliber just comes straight out like that then why is it so hard to push in...nah it does not come out that easy I would not recommend doing that
This is sooooo unrealistic. Show actual work, not fluff. Plus you don’t replace all that each time, or EVER for some parts like pistons unless damaged or not right 😂❤
Can I order one of those clear acrylic model brake things from you? That is the coolest thing ever!

I should have put my GMC Sierra in the bench vice.
Finally a good video on brakes. Thanks!
I replaced the hardware and my car started shaking lol i should of used the old harwarr
Usually warped rotors.

This guy's voice is on a lot of videos.

Rite I was just thinking the same thing lol

I don't get it
Then take it to a professional

So easy that you couldn't even show how to do it. Waste of time
