Great video. One thing mssed here. When compressing the puck to fit the caliper over the rotor, it's a good idea to remove the lid from the brake fluid reservoir to allow the fluid, as it cannot be compressed, to flow back to the reservoir, and you can put a rag, or some absorbent mat to catch any fluid that comes out. This also avoids having to bleed the brakes, because no air is introduced. If you don't have the fancy tool to compress the caliper puck, you can use a piece of wood and a C- clamp on the cheap and that works too. Just make sure the reservoir is open, as fluid has to go somewhere.
You would be amazed how many videos I had to watch to find someone tell me that the squealer needs to go on the top of the pad. It's such a basic thing that you need to know to do this right and no one actually says out loud whether it's supposed to be on the top or the bottom. Most of them just say to duplicate how it was before but the last person who did the brakes on the car didn't do it right!
Do you know how to change the drums to rotors I've been trying to find out how to do that on my corolla 2012 now and would appreciate it emmensly that could be a great video well thxs for the information keep up the great vids

Thank you this helped a whole bunch. That trick with the rad mount bolt was a time saver.
Thank you for the video and the suggestion to use the radiator hold down bolt to remove the rotors.
This was a very well done video. I could see everything clearly and you made it look easy
The bolt trick saved us! Thanks!

hi, friend
I would like to know if these brake discs are compatible with a 2021 corolla,
Thanks for part numbers on the shims
Thank you. Helped so much
Does the kit that you recommended already have the shims on the brake pads?
Do I still have to bleed the new brakes at the end like we used to do back in the days 🤔
No
Great video
Thank you for sharing. What does “rec” mean in Rec front brake 2 rotors? Thank you
NOTES : THE BRANDS I PICKED ARE THE BEST IN MY OPINON , I WOULD RECOMMEND to STAY AWAY FROM SLOTTED ROTORS
I meant to say I recommend to stay away from slotted rotors / I don't think they are good brake parts
@@GEARMOAUTO Ah! Ok. I get it. Thank you for the "rec." Appreciate it.
