Could you do a caliper rebuild video, please?
Someone asked if there is a left and right caliper. The answer is YES. The bleeder valve needs to be on top when you install the caliper otherwise will not bleed properly. Hope this helps the next guy!!!
The hose pliers were a critical step to doing this that i did not know off. I really appreciete the thorough and detailed instruction.
Thanks for the video! Something like replacing brake calipers seems easy enough, but it's always those little steps a guy can't know until he's told that get him into trouble--like making sure the slider brackets are greased.
Holy veerhicle...
Good teacher, Good video. It was a proper brake job. The average shop wouldn't do that through of work.
This fellow does a great job. He torques everything to specs and takes no shortcuts.
1A Auto is the gold standard in producing these videos. When I need to do a job I look up a 1A Auto video to see if they have made a video on it. Excellent job guys and thanks for sharing your knowledge
I feel like you don’t get the credit you deserve. keep going above and beyond and be happy at what you do because you are damn good at it!
You are my supervisors doppleganger lol. Exact tone, the way you describe things in detail, safety...kind of scary.
As he said: do NOT reuse the copper crush washers. They wll leak if you do. Also on the bracket bolts: you see how there's some white color on the bolts? That's dried thread locker. You might want to clean the old thread locker off of them and add a little bit of new thread locker to the bolts that hold the bracket to the car. Those bolts have to be very tight unlike the slide pins.
Excellent video. Most thorough I have ever seen. Now I won't be missing any of those important little tricks! Thank you!
Excellent step by step demonstration on this project!
One of the more comprehensive how to or DIY videos. Good job.

Great timely video. Bought calipers today to replace the originals on my truck. Glad you had this video available. Thank you

Got to change my caliper on Tuesday and this video is very helpful compared to other caliper videos I watched they tend to make changing this part look more complicating this. video is much easier, thank you ☺️
Absolutely excellent presentation and provides much useful information for all-too-often neglected preventative maintenance purposes. Thanks. 2022/08/18. Ontario, Canada.
Best in depth video of caliper replacement. Little tips that make the difference.
Great video. Really like the thoroughness of detail. If a shop did this for you, you would pay a "pretty penny" for a repair that is not so difficult, if you have the right tools and instruction. Really appreciate this company providing so much good content for the DIYer. Keep up the great work.
+Jose Quintana Thanks for checking us out! 1aau.to/m/Shop-1AAuto-c
Great video, thanks. I've seen others recommend some thread lock on the bolts due to the amount of vibration brakes have. Like always, you all provide great how to videos! Thanks.
You changed the caliper carrier as well as the caliper itself; (which in the US) you call bracket. Very good video.
Thanks for taking time to show us all the finer details that may videos on TH-cam leave out.
1A Auto rocks! I have used your videos for a successful brake bleed and now I will use this video to replace the front calipers on my 2014 Dodge Challenger. Very much appreciate the precise and knowledgeable content you guys put out! Nice presentation Len(or is it Lenny)?
Thank you SO MUCH " hey these, they are like gold, keep them" omg that is the stuff i misplaced or lose.
Thank you, long story sort, you helped a dude with Narcolepsy who gets VERY forgetful. I watched it a few times, fixing a car I am giving to a friend.
Great video well put together and very clear, many thanks 👍
+Grant Speirs Thanks for checking us out!
Excellent video! I found this video to be very helpfull. Thanks!
You explain very well and video is very good.
Great Video. Thank you!
Great video! Got my old Corolla stop shaking when break in highway.
Thanks
Thank a lot for your video ;-) I have just finished brake job (with one jam caliper replaced) on my son car ! It was very helpfull !
Do you have to bleed all The rest of the calipers if you only changing one calipers? Also is there a tool you can recommend to buy to close off the brake line when removing the caliper?
Great Instructions- Thank you!
Thanks for the education...I needed this
Great job on the video. I am thinking about replacing my front calipers on a 11 year old SUV. This video will help.
Thank you for the video. I was able to change my own for the first time. I encountered some questions. When I remove the brake hose, the bolt had a small hole, I didn’t know if that hole had to align with the brake hose hole? They both had a hole. Also I used the new copper ring washer that came with the new caliper, after I finished both started leaking were the washers are, so I removed them and put the old original ones back and both leaks stopped. I guess new doesn’t always mean better. Thanks again for the video I learned from watching your video and trial and error.
You are amazing i wish mechanical engineers learn more from you
Fantastic video. I learned a number of good tips
+Jamie Pyette Thanks for the feedback!
Excelente explicación excelente
I was told not to crimp the lines on the count they have metal inside. I didn’t crimp the lines and I didn’t get hardly any dribble. Just saying. Thank you for the video. Enjoyed as always.

Very detail oriented video that is clear and cut. "Easy peesey"
Thank you for useful description. I have a question for you. If I changed two front calipers , do I have to bleed all four brakes?
Excellent knowledgeable guide
Great instructional video!
+parneypots Thanks for checking us out! 1AAuto.com
Great Vid Great Technician!!
Great video. I plan on doing this to my 2016 silverado. I just have one caliper to replace front passenger, do I bleed all 4 brakes when done?
Excellent video. Would you happen to know the torque specs for 2011 explorer ?
A Great video and very informative, just one thing I would add is to check the Master cylinder fluid when you were waiting for the fluid to statrt leaking from the Bleed nipple.👍

Len is " The Man " !
I’ve seen people use Sil-Glyde on the caliper slide/guide pins. Also, I’ve seen people use anti seize on the brake pad contact points. Is that ok?
Thank you 👍
Reliable mechanic trustworthy
Do you have to do both callipers at the same time if say one was seized?
is it safe to use copper anti seize on back of brake pad? is it safe on rubber piston boot?
If my banjo bolt is leaking brake fluid is it possible I stripped it by tightening too much?
If you clamp the brake fluid line do you still need o bleed the break lines?
Best tutorial video
Hi the crush washers for benjo bolt have flat and rounded side so what is the orientation?
All well and good but what is the manf. specs for the screw torques????
Man, this looks easy anyone can do it theirselves, they just need the parts. In my case, I need the parts and tools.
I always fix my "veericle" with 1A Auto vids 😜
Great video, the front right caliper on my Buick will lock up, not where the car stops but it shakes and gets incredibly hot, and I’m wondering if it needs lubrication on the parts or completely replace with new ones
+Organ Fan Thank you! We wouldn't be able to diagnose an issue like that here, you may want to have a local mechanic take a look at it. Thanks for checking us out! 1AAuto.com
It would be great if you answered peoples questions
What size are those brake caliper braket bolts?
💥 I have to separate the brake line from the caliber and then bring the caliper somewhere to have the threads cleaned up because I strip them slightly. Could you tell me how to prevent the brake fluid from dripping out of the open line at the caliper end (the banjo bolt) in the half hour that I’ll be gone.??
What is that electric cylinder thing your using I tried searching for it but idk the name of it
What size socket to remove caliper 2002 chevy avalanche?
What is a verikel?
I only came to the comment section for this reason.
@@heavenward7876 same
Intentional speech impediment to see if the students are paying attention.
I like this guy amazing job…..
Do you have a video for another style of caliper? Mine do not look like this. (03 T&C)
Do you have to bleed the lines once your done
Very clearly elaborated and your presentation was so comprehensive, i just hope i have those high end tools, mine was just a DeWalt DCF 885 given to me by my sis, i think ireally need to hve a torque wrench. Anyways, Thanks a lot for this wonderful video. By the way I have subscribed 😊
I heard that you don’t HAVE to do a manual brake bleed after bleeding the caliper. Is this true. Is it just recommended to do that. I need to know fast. Thanks.
+ThatGuyCoop It is good to do a manual brake bleed to get any air out of the lines.
I have bought from 1A before for my wifes 08 Accord, and other "modern" cars, but very limited brake parts (no calipers) for my 1979 K5 Blazer.
79 is over 40 years old, it's an antique at this point, no sense complaining that you can't find parts for it without going to someone who specializes in that.
Excellent
+Tj G Thanks for checking us out! 1aau.to/m/Shop-1AAuto-c
Can you please clarify, "manufacturers specs" what exactly is the torque setting? for the pad bracket and caliper?
I can tell you why the pin wasnt lubed up, because the mechanic who fit it wants you to come back in a year when its seized up Lol
Nice work, you should try using our products on your vehicle Thank you for the content
+Crux Interfacing Solutions Thanks for checking us out! 1AAuto.com
Hi could you please tell me what is the tighten torque manufacturer for a Lincoln Navigator 2003 4WD on front and back calipers?
It's not the space shuttle. Just tighten it.
What were the size of the bracket bolts so that I can buy the right socket
The black grease contain molybdenum which will eat away the plastic. It's for metal against metal. You should only use clear silicone paste on the slider
kinda like what was on there :)
can you share manufactures torque specs?
Thanks
Excellent! thank you
Question. If I'm replacing both front calipers and rotors and pads, do I still need the same type of calipers I'm replacing?
+Emmanuel Brillant Thanks for watching! You just want to make sure that whichever part you purchase is going to be correct for your application. We recommend purchasing a part that is meant to replace your original factory part.
You did not mention that the banjo bolt has to align with the hose otherwise you will not able to bleed the system.I had that experience the hard way because the caliper that I bought is defective. The cylinder is seized inside the cup (made in China)
Do you need to replace both sides or can you replace one side at a time only if needed
Best to get a kit and do them both so that they have even wear, because chances are if one became worn, if wont be long until the other side needs to be serviced too
You know, if you would have used a clear vinyl hose over the bleeder and the other end in a bucket so you would not have to clean up after yourself. Other than that, it was a great video. I gave you a thumbs up.
+CMM Thanks for checking us out! 1aau.to/m/Shop-1AAuto-c
Should caliper move a little after I put it on
Instead of clamping the brake hose, you can use a piece of 2x4 against the front edge of the driver seat and press the brake pedal down.
Is that a good alternative? Does it work? Thanks
@@beardedtoolreviews7185 Absolutely does work. I am using this technique right now as I rebuild the leaking piston area.on my Honda Civic. I strongly dislike crimping things. Just be certain to disconnect the battery as your bra,ke lights will be on the whole time.
Drinking game “Manufacturers Specifications “
What kind of grease did you use ?
are the front calipers the same or 2 different parts? also are the front and rear calipers the same as well? 2004 nissan maxima
+catrin b Thanks for watching! Calipers are not interchangeable, so each corner will require its own caliper.
Dumb question, I've got a left front caliper that locked up. Can I just replace the caliper or do I need to replace the bracket as well? Auto novice here
Typically you only need to replace the caliper but a lot of aftermarket parts include the bracket
and here I thought you pronounced "vehicle" "veehickel" but after listening to this guy its pronounced "veerhickel"
Is it safe to drive without a rubber boot on caliper slide pin?
i have a questionif one caliper is bad do i just change that one or do i change the both of them i need to know thanks
+jeremy pinder Thanks for checking us out! It is best to replace the other side, if one failed many times the other side is not far behind.
I want every mechanic to take note at the two minute mark.. he broke the nut free by hand using his cordless ratchet, then started removing it using power! This is the way it’s meant to be used lmao it’s not an impact
Manufacture specification torque, where can I found? I have 2017 Nissan Sentra Sr turbo
+O kid oki Diego Any repair manual specific to your vehicle (Chilton's, Haynes, Motor, Factory manual, etc.) You can find them at most parts stores, you can check them out at your public library, you can find them on eBay and sometimes on craigslist, and you can download a pdf file from the internet, often free!
If you're replacing one caliber do you need to only bleed that one side of the car??
If you are smart, especially since the car is already up in the air, I would bleed the entire system starting with the brake caliper that is furthest from the master cylinder.
Great video, just too much lubricant on the pins. If you add too much, the pin can't travel its full distance
