Hi, I’m Mike from 1A Auto. We’ve been selling auto parts for over 30 years!
Use a large pry bar for a flat-bladed screwdriver to remove the wheel cover. I'm just going to slide it between the wheel and the plastic. Pop it off. These lug nuts are a 21 millimeter socket. I'm going to use that and a breaker bar to loosen them while the vehicle's on the ground. Then, raise and support the vehicle. We're using a two post lift, but you can use a jack and jack stands. The lug nuts are loose. I'm going to take the socket and finish removing them. I'm just going to hold on to the wheel. I'll take the last lug nut off. It's going to be loose. I don't want to drop it. Drop the lug nut. That's okay. I just don't want the wheel to fall.
Before I remove the caliper, I'm just going to pull on it and try to compress the piston. That way, it will slide right off. Take a 14 millimeter wrench to loosen the caliper slide bolts. There's one on the top, one on the bottom. They're pretty tight. If they don't want to budge, you can take a mallet to break them free. Same thing on the bottom one. I've got a bungee cord handy, so when I remove these caliper slide bolts, I could hang the caliper from the strut. Let's loop it around. The caliper should slide right off. See, one of our hardware pieces of hardware is actually broken on here. It should go right in there. The pads will slide right out like this.
Two 17 millimeter bolts that are holding the caliper on. There's one on the top and one on the bottom. To break them free, you can use the box wrench and the mallet. We've got these loose. I'm just going to remove them by hand.
The rotor is very loose. We don't want it to accidentally fall. I'm just going to take one of the lug nuts. Just put it on there so it doesn't fall on my feet. Remove the caliper bracket. So we're pretty lucky. This brake rotor's really loose. I'm going to take the lug nut off that I was using to hold it on, just slide it right off the studs and the hub. If it was rusted on, you could thread a couple of small bolts into here and evenly turn them down or push against the hub and push the rotor off.
These are old pads and rotors for our vehicle. I've got brand new ones from 1AAuto.com. So the pad design is very similar. The rotor design is the same. Five lug holes, two pusher holes. It's a ventilated rotor. This will fit great and help the car stop.
Before you put the rotor back on the hub, make sure it's nice and clean, not too rusty. This one's in good shape. If yours is really rusty around the hub here, take a wire brush and knock some of the rust down, clean it off. We're going to take our new rotor, and we'll install it backwards first. Take our brake parts cleaner, and we're going to clean off the oil that they ship with so they don't rust. Grab it, flip it over, install it the correct way. I'm just going to throw a lug not on here so it's not moving all around on me. Take a brake parts cleaner. Clean the surface. I'm just going to wipe down any excess.
You need to compress the cylinder back into the brake caliper. I'm taking the old brake pad, and I've got a C-clamp, and gently compress it. This way, our new pads that are thicker will fit. We need to clean our hardware so we can reuse it. We'll take some brake parts cleaner and just spray it in there. Get a wire brush. Just repeat for the other side. We're going to reinstall our bracket. Get those started by hand. The top one's usually easier to get done first, and you can move this one in and out to line it up. I'm just going to snug them down. Take some brake parts cleaner to just make sure the pad surface is nice and clean before you install them, and put just a tiny amount of brake caliper grease on the ears of the pad. Don't need to go crazy with this stuff.
The inside and outside pads are identical, so I'm going to start with the inside one. Pop it into the bottom, push it in. Repeat for the other pad. Clean it off. Put a little bit of grease on the ears. Replace the spring hardware, put it in place. It's going to balance the caliper. Swing it down. Get the back part caught first. Push that over. Caliper slide bolts and reinstall those. Get a 14 millimeter ratcheting wrench. Tighten them up, and torque the two caliper bracket mounting bolts to 79 foot-pounds. Don't forget to remove the bungee cord you were using. Make sure the brake rotor is clean. Sometimes, you get dirty fingerprints on it. I'm just going to double check that these are tight.
I'm going to reinstall our wheel. It's important to note these lug nuts have a taper. The taper meets the wheel, matches the inside of the wheel. Don't install them with the flat side like this. That is incorrect. Install them with the taper to the wheel. It helps locate the wheel on the lug nut stud. I'm just using the socket and ratchet to bring these down snug before I put the car on the ground, and torque the lug nuts to 76 foot pounds. I'm going in a cross pattern. We'll reinstall the hubcap. I'm going to line up the opening with the valve stem, with the valve stem on the wheel. Just push it in place.
Before we start the car, I'm just going to gently press the brake pedal down. Not all the way to the floor. You need about a quarter of the way, and just pump it. And this will bring the brake caliper piston out to meet the pads, because we compressed it. And you'll start to feel it get more solid as it pumps out.

All right, friends, to get started on our front brake job, we need to safely raise and support our vehicle and remove all five of our lug nuts. Remove your wheel. The next thing we need to do is gonna be accessed from the back side of the caliper. We're gonna remove our two caliper slider bolts. Now let's get both of those out of there. Next, we're gonna come into this portion right here and we're just gonna slowly push in our caliper piston. Remove your caliper and put it someplace so it's not putting any pressure on that flex hose. Let's just make sure that that caliper piston is pushed in all the way. And then, of course, we'll just look to make sure we don't see any fluid. This looks good. Set it aside. Attached to the pads, you're gonna see these clips. We need to remove the clips. Remove your brake pad. Set those aside. Now let's remove our caliper bracket bolts. Remove your bracket. Set it aside. Remove your rotor. Now that we have the rotor off there, we need to pay special attention to the wheel bearing. This is gonna be the area that the new rotor is gonna sit on, so it needs to be very smooth. Clean it down. Now we need a nice collection bucket and some parts cleaner. Clean the area. We need to strip down this bracket, and what I mean by that is to take off these tins. Set those aside.
We're gonna grab onto these caliper sliders here, you give them a nice twist and they should wanna come off of the boot. We'll go ahead and pull that out of there and we'll set it on the corresponding side. Do the same to the other one. Now we're just gonna clean down our sliders. We wanna make sure that the one that does have the rubber boot on it, because this one right here does, is gonna end up on the same side that you removed it from. So that's the importance of putting them on their corresponding side. Put this over a nice recycling receptacle and we're gonna put in some parts cleaner. Take a nice bore brush and get right down inside those holes. Let's go ahead and tip this over. As you can see, a lot of gunk came out of there. Give it one last spray and move along. What we need to do next is clean the area where the tins are gonna ride. What I mean by that is take a nice brush, make it as smooth as possible. If you have a lot of large crusties, you might need to use sandpaper or even a chisel of some sort. Now that we have all four corners of this nice and clean, let's move along to just taking a nice clean rag, put it inside of these boots right here, and we're just gonna make sure we get all the gunk out of there. That's gonna be super important. Same thing to the other one.
Okay. Next, it's gonna be time to reinstall our slider pins. When you do that, you wanna make sure you use a good amount of caliper grease. We're gonna go right along that entire slider pin and then, of course, up along this ridge right here. That's gonna be super important to help make sure you keep moisture out of the area. Go ahead and put it in there. We're gonna give it a nice spin as we go. A couple of spins once it's in there. That's gonna make sure everything's settled as it should be, and we'll do the same to the other side. Now let's move along to coating the area that we just finished cleaning down where the tins are gonna ride. Now when you look at these tins, you wanna make it so these areas that are raised and coming out away from the tin are facing away from the area where the rotor would be, which would be in the center right here. Let's go ahead and put this just like this. Squeeze it in so it's locked in, and then we'll continue on by doing the same to all the rest. Before we make our way over to the vehicle with our brand new rotor, it's important to make sure you clean down the braking surface. Don't forget the backside. Let's coat this surface with some copper Never-Seez. Put on your brand new rotor and I always like to put on a lug nut to hold the rotor still. Before we can remount our caliper, it's important to make sure you clean down the threads on your bolts.
Now let's get the caliper bracket on here. We're gonna start in both of our caliper bracket bolts and then we'll snug them up and torque them to manufacturer specifications. Now that they're bottomed out, torque them to 79 foot-pounds. Now it's gonna be time to prep our brake pads. What I mean by that is you have these wear indicators. For the wear indicator on the outside pad, we want that on the bottom side. So we're gonna go ahead and put this just like this. That sets in there, and once the pad gets worn down to this point, it's gonna make an indication of a noise and it's gonna let you know it's worn low. Do the same on the inner pad except on the top. Let's go ahead and put that inner pad in there. Same for the outer. Now let's continue on to adding a little bit of caliper lube around this area here where it contacts the pad, this area, and also along the piston. All the areas that contact against the pad. Now let's move along to putting in these little clips right here. When you put these in, you're gonna have to hold the pads so they can't move and put them just like this so they're gonna be facing towards the inner aspect of the caliper bracket. That's gonna help separate the pads when you release your brake. Okay. Now that we have both of those clips in and they're facing towards the center, let's go ahead and grab our caliper. We're gonna put it over the pads.
At this point, we can release them. Push in on your slider pins so it lets the caliper set in. Start in both of your bolts. We'll snug them up and then we'll torque them to 25 foot-pounds. Let's get our wheel back up on here. Start all of our lug nuts, bottom them out, and then we'll torque them to 76 foot-pounds. Torqued. Go ahead and pump up your brake pedal so it's nice and firm and then check your brake fluid.
