    if you want to learn then go to school, just dont be an idiot like some people and think that you’re smart after school. school is nice but it just dont cut it. as most people find out when they get into a shop. but if you dont know what yor doing just get the work done by someone who does, dont go to the chains like merchants and those places. I used to work there. merchants guys in general dont care, they just want money, you dont matter to them.

    and there is no such thing as a brake fluid valve as that other person mentioned. the valves in the system are metering valve and proportioning valve, atleast with rear drums. or theres about a thousand valves in the abs unit. lets not get into that. if I was doing it, I wouldnt take the cap off, it will let fluid out if it needs too. just let it run out and spray it off with water. if you leave the cap off it just makes it even easier for the fluid to be contaminated.

    @dinogrower you put grease on the backing plate and the tabs, and grease the slides in the caliper bracket. you dont put grease on the actual friction material. alot of mechanics at shitty shops dont care and dont bother to grease anything. its easy for most mechanics to not care if it aint their car. I dont work like that. and usually what waprs rotors is rapid heating and cooling, or a moron who dont care and tightens the lugs uneven.

    just before you push the pistons back in, dont you have to release the brake fluid valve so it can releases the pressure for the pistons to go back in???

    @layziebtnh7 Is that mechanics slang? I mean the “pad slap” part? Just curious to learn that stuff. Also, hey, were do we want to put the silicone grease exactly and what parts of the brake do we want to keep it off of? Can you make a better tutorial video?

    @jdubb408 I am interested to learn how rotors get warped by doing it the way he just showed. Are there some things we should know? Can you help us?

    @momo261086 What do you mean what its about? You have to push the pistions back in order for the caliper to sit flush on the new brake pads. If you don’t push them back you can’t put the caliper back on because the pistion will hit the pad. How stupid are you?

    what a poor pad slap. gonna make some nice noise with no silicone grease. I find that usually when people just do work themselves, they cause problems. not always.
