Dude you’re great. Thank you. Also I thought it was funny hearing you say “put the spring somewhere you won’t lose it. Very important” *tosses spring on the ground* Great video, very helpful and concise!
Thanks for sharing this! I think my rotors are warped, so I'm gonna be trying this soon. Out of curiosity, what can you tell us about the procedure for the rear brakes? The electronic parking brake intimidates me some.
Electronic brake is behind the disc/rotor. Changing the pads are like the regular single piston calipers. Pads come off and so do shims, replace and done.
It's better to get the tool. A c-clamp will push one piston in at a time, and there are four pistons. If you push in one, another will pop out to compensate and you'll get no where. The tool pushes them all in at once so that problem doesn't exist.
I'm having to replace my pads and rotors. There's so many opinions online of what's good. I was wondering if the kit you used in this video (link of luxery model in description) is good or just mid quality. Do they produce alot of brake dust or noise?
When I took my caliper off, I undid the two small boats on it. Also, it was a big mistake because now I leak fluid for some reason because there’s two little spring loaded piston holes in between it.
Uh-oh. Sounds like you took the bolts off of the caliper and split it. Unfortunately, that's not fixable. When the caliper split all the seals that held it together broke apart. You're going to need to buy a new caliper, and then bleed your brakes. The car is not safe to drive in its current condition.
@@stollo770if i split the caliber on accident, taking off the wrong screws what would be my best bet, if i put it back together will it still work okay?

Thanks man, glad the video helped you out!
Great video!
Awesome video if I may add a suggestion last step should be to pump the brakes until hard at least so others who are unaware of this last step
For the front , do you have to have the car in service mode.

Does this work for the back too? My first time I’m learning
Fantastic video! Will a c-clamp work to push the calipers or is it definitely better to get that tool?

@@stollo770 ok that makes sense, thanks so much for the quick response!
@@joelranglin5327 No problem, good luck with it!

It's a good kit. There is some brake dust but less than when I had a mechanic do it. A car wash once a month gets rid of it all, not much build-up.
Shouldn't the pins be greased?

did you have any issues with the electric parking brake?
Nope, not at all
@@stollo770 thanks, great vid. shop told me $67 a piece for an electronic e brake procedure.
Be sure you put your vehicle in service mode before working on the rear brakes
@@Ez-sk8ig How do you do that?
OMG! I can do this
