Hey guys !
For those who regulary puts their hands under the hood, this post won't be very useful !
But for others, who STARTS to work on their rig ... IT'S FOR YOU !
Brake replacement can be a little bit intimidating at first, but it's actually pretty easy to do !
This is why I've put together a short but accurate video to show you STEP by STEP how to replace your front brakes.
This includes calipers, discs and pads but also the bleeding process at the end !
ADDITIONAL INFOS FOR BRAKE REPLACEMENTS :
-Brake replacement have do be done by pair, you have to do both sides !
-The bleeding have to be done from the farthest caliper to the master cylinder to the nearest
-Brake fluid is called DOT. DOT3, DOT4, Super DOT4 and DOT5.1 fluids are miscible although this is not recommended. DOT 5 fluid is NOT mixable
-Brake fluid is higly corrosive and toxic, it's gonna go through your skin and directly to your kidneys. PLEASE WEAR GLOVES.
-For DOT4, fluid replacement once every 2 years is acceptable. For DOT 3, fluid replacement every year is recommended. For people who drive aggressively on winding roads, fluid replacement every six months to a year is recommended.
-Brake fluid bleeding / flush can be done by yourself with a bleeding kit (link in the description)
-Brake fluid bleeding will prevent your calipers of being stuck
-A brake caliper can be rebuild ! You don't have to change it everytime it get stuck.
-Allow 480-800km (300-500 miles) for pads and rotors / discs to bed in. During this time, drive vehicle cautiously as brake effect may be lower.
