Love the video quality and style! Question tho. Some sites say to break the bleeder screw open and to clamp the caliper brake hose. So when you screw in the piston the fluid escapes out the bleeder (and into a container you have in place. They say pushing fluid backwards through an ABS module may damage it. Any thoughts on that? Sure makes it simpler to do it the way you did.

It would be great if you ever get a chance to show how to do a Mazda with electronic parking brake. Apparently there is a way to put the parking brake motor into a service mode and the piston pushes in like in a normal caliber. If it has EPB they can be damaged if the piston is rotated. I think 2016 CX5's and later are set up this way.
Would love to see you do one.

I like that 3M for going over the lugs to clean the hub to make it clean for the rotor. Normally I don't see that much rust in Southern Ca, but with aluminum wheels, you have to be careful. Any buildup on the hub surface can push against the rotor and you now have brake pedal pulsation! Yuck! Thanks for the link and Great Video!

PLEASE PLEASE Eric, wear a dust mask. Yes I know there is no asbestos but after years of breathing in this crap you may not see your kids graduating and getting married. PLEASE?
ALSO make sure the brake fluid resevior is not overflowing as you press the caliper piston into the caliper.

Great video, first one I've found that emphasizes the importance of cleaning and lubing the metal contact parts, Bravo! Brakes tend wear better and last MUCH longer when the calipers don't seize prematurely. Worthy of mention though is that an impact/air ratchet is NOT a torque wrench.

CAUTION! Do not use the grease used in this video on guide pin.
This is not compatible with rubber. IT WILL SWELL THE RUBBER AND SEIZE THE BOLT.
correct item name is PERMATEX SILICONE CERAMIC EXTREME 80653. You have been warned.

Mr.
Awesome video. A huge help for those changing brakes on any kind of car or vehicle. It's been a while since I turned a wrench - amazing to see some of the handy new accessories that turn a good job into a great one. Thanks for sharing!

Great video! Wish I watched it yesterday before investigating my rear brakes for outer pad wear. Slides pins were good, but I didn't think about the retainer clips. I had to put a lot of force to get those rear pads back in.

Do those pistons turn as they extend over their life? I ask because you made the point about lining up the notch in the pads with the piston, but that wouldn't stay aligned as the piston rotated outward over time.

Seen many mazda rear calipers have problems, I havent find whats going on with them but hear other mechanics says caliper not retraction or parking brake not releasing or something like that.
