Just a quick video showing how I replaced the front brake pads on a 2015 Dodge Ram 1500 Truck. This would be the same for many other years as well.
The Brake Pad clips or metal hardware springs that came with the brake pads were a little loose fitting on the ends of the brake pads, but they still worked fine.
Tools needed:
C-clamp or Caliper Compression Tool
13mm socket and/or wrench
Torque Wrench

I was told you have to reset the brake anti-lock system before replacing pads. I’ve been doing my brakes on my cars and trucks for a long time. I’m 73 yrs old and I don’t have the strength to lift the big tires back on. So I will be going to a mechanic to have this done. First time in 47 yrs I have to depend on somebody to work on my truck. Yes I’m very picky who works on my vehicles. Lol. Thanks for the video, I may still be doing this myself
Your the man!
Some of the truck tires/wheels can sure be heavy and hard to put back on. I lay a long crow bar on the ground and then roll the tire onto the crow bar. I then lift the crow bar and guide the tire/wheel back on. Having that leverage sure makes it easy.
GREAT video! I'm going to attempt my first pad swap on my 2017 RAM on Friday. This video was super helpful!
Now that I am done I am going to apply a little seal glide on my elbow. Ok now that I added it to Elbow just a little to the other elbow and a little to the wrist.
I love the smell of brake dust on the morning
Thanks, best video on pads thus far.
Left two comments on the other brake pad inst. Thanks!
Direct on to the point. Loved it
Thanks - great video.
Just changed mine for the first time on my Ram. I’ve always changed my own pads since high school. I’m now 33 and have also changed my wife’s, so it’s been many times. It was strange how on both the driver and passenger side the inner pad stuck up about an 1/8 inch or so higher than the rotor’s edge The pad on the outside was totally even with the edge of the rotor. It’s this normal on Rams? I’ve never noticed that on other vehicles.
No need to turn the rotors? I thought you should do this every brake change?
Hi Gary,
Typically you want to have your rotors turned every other brake change. This ensures that they remain free of debris and do not warp or become too 'glazed'. Regular brake wear and hot spots can often cause your rotors to become warped and having them turned will ensure that they last as long as possible before having to be replaced.
Thanks for watching!

Dan is this true you have to reset the anti-lock system
No, the anti-lock sytem does not need any resetting after just changing the brake pads.
If the ABS warning light is on, then yes, you will need to have the light cleared once you find out why it was on.
Thanks for watching!

Hi Dan I typed in the Bosch BC967 brake pads they come up as rear brake pads?
Hi Shawn,
That's what I am seeing as well. It doesn't look like I used that brand or part number in the video or the description. I believe BC966 is the correct number for the front pads, but please double-check that before ordering them.
Best of luck to you.
