You have great videos! I'm doing my front bakes on a 2004 Chev Trailblazer right now, but one thing I think you must touch on - is how to remove the rotor if it's stuck on the hub with rust. I saw others whaling away on the old rotor with hammers, using pullers (a kind of pricey buy or rent, soaking the assembly with penetrating oils, going at it in all sorts of ways. But there are those two threaded holes on the face of the rotor where the wheel lugs are and if you put a right sized bolt in there and tighten it down - that is a great and simple way to get the stuck rotor off! Cheers!

Hey Chris I like your videos great camera angles and closeups and how you tell us extra tips while your fixing things. Like telling us a major tip at 11: 48 make sure you don't use brake fluid that's been open for 3 months because it gets moisture in it and that's no good. I'm going to use a black magic marker and write on the brake fluid the date I first opened it. Thanks Chris your the best. Keep up the Great work man!

Hey Chris, can you help me man? I did full brakes and rotors in my car. I did it for the first time and i did good. However, i popped the dust shield spring when i was removing the rear rotor. How do i fix the dust shield touching the rotor? I thought of zip tie, but it will probably melt as it get really hot. Thanks Chris.

Should I worry about runout with new rotors? I watched all the videos where you put on new rotors without checking for runout. I am about to replace my front rotors and want to know if it's necessary to get a dial indicator to make sure there is no runout with the new rotors.

Saved me from dealing with the frustrating dealerships who want to charge six arms and 4 and a half legs just to get something so simple fixed. So thanks a ton!

I will do this on my own next time. I paid an arm and a part of my leg to get mine changed, but I'm definitely going to do this one my own next time.
