Where did you get those bolts? If they are Brembo bolts for Brembo Capilers. I need those! I called Cadillac dealer, NAPA, etc... they don't have them. The FSM say to replace them every time you remove those bolts. Did you torque them to 110 Ft lbs?
Install new caliper bolts and tighten to 150 Nm (111 lb ft) + 30 degrees. This is for J64 RPO code brakes. I cannot find the part number right now, but I did just get some from dealer...although the first time he ordered wheel hub bolts. Just a word of caution I think nearly everything on the front end of this car is torque to yield and requires replacement after loosening them. The lower yoke bolt, hub bolts, these caliper bolts, ball joint bolts and the lower ball joint hardware all are to be replaced if loosened.
Wow I just changed my rear pads on my 2015 cts today. It has almost 100k miles on it and its rear wheel drive. The old rear brakes we're real worn down but the front ones that look like what you got on the front with the pins luckily still have plenty of pad on them so I'm gonna wait on changing them but this will help in the future. Did you also use the new the metal pieces that the pin goes through? Is that pin easy to get out with the pin and mallet?
So frustrating that they block off the opening so you can’t change the pads with the caliper in place. They are the same caliper as the ATS so it makes no sense because the ATS allows you to remove them like a normal brembo.
hmmmm, wasn't wearing gloves, placed bolts on the suspension rather than parts tray, impacted bolts holding calipers rather than torque. Not my style thanks,
Thank you. Music was out of this world. BRAVISSIMO
Thanks you Just saved me $400!
I want to work on cars to this now lol it makes me feel a flow
Thanks my friend 🙏
What is the torque specs of the 2 mounting bolts?thanks
In this video I see that you use lube on the ends of the brake pads. Did these brakes come with lube or without lube from the (OEM) or Brembo? Thanks!
Great video. Just what I was looking for 👍🏻
Guess the pistons all collapsed themselves? that would have been a good part to show folks...ugh the music!
Use a pry bar before you remove and replace on the old pads, replace one at a time and the compress the opposite side
I agree, poor video. No cleaning of the components after removal. Did not compress the pistons back into their bore.
@@meteorology7487 yeah we know that, but do "they"
Is this same brakes as ats front brembos?
Great
Great video to help those who haven’t done brakes on these before but Music 🤷🏼
When taking off caliber what was it you used along with the mallet to get the pin out? Was that just a phillips drill bit perhaps??
just use a punch
U need a punch set
Are the back brake the same or different do they also have pins or just normal
No, it is different

What size are the 2 bolts used to hold the caliper in place
13/16 on a 2018 cadillac xts. 😆 its a bit late but i just changed them in my caddi.
Should I use silicone lube between the pins and the stainless steel clips, thanks
no you don't need
Did you have to push the piston back to slide the pad back in? So there is 2 pins going through each pad?
yes you should press the pistons back

was hoping for some beetoven or bach
Unless these brakes are a special package, they don’t look at all like my XT5
Bc these are brembos on an xts guy
👍👍👍👍🫡🫡🫡

“ Ooh this is a very strict plane “
Wasn't wearing gloves....really ?
That's a pretty big one for you is it ?
🤣
Music makes this truly unwatchable.
NEXT!
such a stupid design. why copy brembo brakes when you're gonna make us slide the entire caliper off anyway.
Not a copy, they are brembo's
Crack-i-Lac wants $400 for break pads! WTF! Anyone have a good brand!
Rock auto
Detroit axel on Amazon. 150 got me drilled and slotted rotors, pads, brake fluid and brake cleaner all in one kit, high performance kit too
