Thanks for this! I discovered that mine is going to need more than just rotor and pad and discovered I have a sticky piston. I wasn’t sure how easy that parking brake cable was going to be. BTW, the bolts on the bracket are 17mm and the sliders 14mm. I was able to use my 3/8 inch socket driver on the upper bracket bolt by putting the socket on first, then a short extension, then the wrench. I also had enough room to use a short cheater bar for leverage to break it free.
Note Ktec's piston on the new caliper. It does not seat flush with the caliper like other rear brakes I have done. That is the way it's supposed to be. Also make sure one of the piston turning notches is aligned like in the video or it will not slide down over the stubby pin on the back of the pad. Ktec may have mentioned that. Thanks for the vid.
Hi, I notice that my brake fluid was leaving quickly and I notice what I thought was oil on the ground, I got on the ground to look and my back passenger tire was full of oil what can that be
@@ktecgarage thank you for replying back and yes just found out today that it’s a leaking brake line, until I find someone to fix it I just been letting it sit cause it sounds to dangerous for me
I don't really remember. It seems I compressed that spring with a large channel lock. I do show reinstalling it, if that helps. Sorry about that. I was new to doing videos at that time and it's not as thorough as I like.

Thank you for making this an easier fix 😊

Thanks for the clarification.

Hi! Most likely going to be a leaking brake caliper or brake line.
Good luck!

Hope it works out for you.
how did you remove the parking brake wire?
I don't really remember. It seems I compressed that spring with a large channel lock. I do show reinstalling it, if that helps. Sorry about that. I was new to doing videos at that time and it's not as thorough as I like.
Did you have to apply the parking break to take the caliper off?
No. Thanks for stopping by. Hope the video helps.
Think it looks harder than it is. Gonna try it today. Thanks for replying
