Great video, did my fronts last night totally dependent on your lessons. You are really good to listen to and it was first rate information. Now I have no more brake pulsing!!!! Thanks!!
@@backyardchevy328 my 13mm bolt running through the caliper sheared off! I feared having to replace the caliper but after your vid i found the bolt for $18! A lot better than $400!! Thanks again. so much. "bridge cross bolt". also informed me of the proper terminology for the part.
Hello, great video, and with your excellent guidance I am doing my 2009 CTS-V brake pad and rotor replace job. I've run in to an initial problem. The front brake rotor hold down screw with the Torx T30 head has stripped out. The screw seems to be a fairly soft metal. I've got a new screw from the dealer. Any advice on what to do to get it out? Yikes. Thanks for any input. - Gary
One question it looks like the fitted those brake calipers on my Saab 9-3 is there any way you can tell me the part number to those one piece rotors because currently I have the two piece rotors and those things are expensive af $700 a rotor
Yea, the way i do it..is you do 5 stops one after the other from 40 mph to 10mph..when ur done with those u wanna avoid a full stop though cause thatll cause an imprint..then do 5 more stops right after from 30mph to 5 mph once again avoid coming to full stop...so from here you wanna drive for 5 mins so it allows ur brakes to cool trying to avoid a full stop...if u have to stop...put vehicle in neutral or park while u wait to go again so u dont imprint brake pads to rotor...in other words u wanna find a empty lot to do this in
I have a 2012 CTSV and I’m wondering what brakes to get but saw these Hawk one pop up? Is it really low dust producing and also you don’t need to bleed the brake lines when changing the brake pads? I only ask because I’ve never been shown how to change my brakes lol.
Yea they definitely produce less..and no u dont have to bleed the brakes unless u introduce air into the system by like replacing a brake hose or a brake caliper etc.
No, anti seize doesnt work good for anything that constantly moves..its meant for something that doesnt move that u dont want to seize up..so yes youll wanna get brake lubricant

That was interesting, never saw a setup like that before.
Yea those are high performance brake setups where u got pistons squeezing both the inner and outer brake pads
I only work on fords for most part, is that standard on Cadillac?
@@darylturcott on the v model cadillacs, corvettes, camaros, even dodge hellcat challenger, chargers. Mustangs would have em too
Great Video Will be doing my front brakes tomorrow. Which Metallic Pad for lowest dust? Great video! Thanks! Ben
Well for less dust id actually prefer the hawks ceramics brake pads..theyre really good brakes all around
One question it looks like the fitted those brake calipers on my Saab 9-3 is there any way you can tell me the part number to those one piece rotors because currently I have the two piece rotors and those things are expensive af $700 a rotor
Do you remember what size the caliper bolts were ??
Great video! I'm assuming the rear installation is more or less the same?
Thank you🙂 yes, i do got a video on the rears as well
Any brake in procedure? Thank you for your time.

@@backyardchevy328 Super awesome thank you for the great video!!
Do you happen to know the size of the punch used for the pins?

@@backyardchevy328 thanks man, appreciate it. Real good video
@@Mannystrading thank you🙂
At 9:00 will anti seize lubricant work or do I need that grease
No, anti seize doesnt work good for anything that constantly moves..its meant for something that doesnt move that u dont want to seize up..so yes youll wanna get brake lubricant
Whats the name brand of your rotors?I have a 2011 V
If i recall correctly i believe they were centric rotors
Hey man can i ask what size is the rotor im running the same caliper set up but am having trouble finding the right size rotors
It depends on the year but these were 370mm for the 2009 cts-v....for the 2012+ they have a 380mm
where did you purchase or order them?
@@ajmorales5320 theyre the centric brand rotors..off ebay
Thanks Man Appreciate it!!!
@@ajmorales5320 anytime🙂
Powertools!! But great vid
Lol...thank you
Does anyone know if I can put CTS V calipers on my 09 CTS4?
Well due to it being all wheel drive itd make it somewhat more difficult..but im pretty sure its been done i think i remember reading a post about it
@@backyardchevy328 I will have to keep looking. Thank you!
Your prying on brembos with aa screw driver, you chiped the caliper. You take off the caliper which made all the prying unnecessary.
This guys seems like he drives a mustang as a daily driver . Great video but your taste in cars needs to be better 😉
Did you apply loctit on all threads?
