A few recommendations as a fellow hobbyist mechanic: Buy and use a quality set of jack stands. Consider using a wired brush or Dremel tool to clean the hub surface and the caliper bracket where the clips mate. Use anti-seize and thread lock on appropriate fasteners and surfaces. Use a torque wrench and fasten to factory specifications. And finally, use PPE.
Im definitely like the guy in the video. Doing this stuff will NOT make any sort of noticeable difference. Not on the first change that is. Long term however, if you don’t do what you’ve recommended it shows after a few brake changes and you will end up spending more money and replacing more parts over time. I learned the hard way
The way you took off the lug nuts is exactly the way I do it. 😂 Your videos are great and you’ve got skills but I’d like to recommend some tips. 1) Wear some gloves. They can either be mechanic gloves or disposable plastic gloves. It’s like $5 for a pack of 100 at Harbor Freight. 2) I think you should put some anti-seize around the hub and clips. Great video. I’m always learning sth new every time I watch your videos.

Thank you for the recommendations.

Thank you for the suggestions. Still learning.
Do you really need those rotor screws???
Not really as when you tighten the lug nuts it will put the rotor back into position.
