Default Front pads and rotors how to- watch this video!

Just did my front pads and rotors last week on my '08 and could not believe this video exists. If you're thinking about doing yours and need guidance, this guy gives step by step instruction. Could not be any easier. I want to be sure everyone knows this is out there.


Also- this is what I used for pads and rotors- so far, I love them. PowerStop K6366 Front Z23 Evolution Brake Kit with Drilled/Slotted Rotors and Ceramic Brake Pads. Brake pads are Z23-1282.

Thanks,

Brian

I found that awhile back - likely posted here - and I liked him and his narration. Good dude!

Nice find. I think I’ve seen the video before.

Impact wrench is a life saver! Wish I had one when I did the brake job on the LS. This time I went out and bought a corded Milkwaukee impact wrench and deep impact sockets and did a brake job on a 05 Vette. Oh man it was so much easier. Taking the lug nuts and caliper bolts was effortless!

Got 4 new Power Stop slotted and drilled rotors on the way and they're due before the weekend. Very excited for some garage time. Have done the rotors and pads a few times now it's pretty easy luckily.
