@chrisfixit: You’ve seen plenty of brake job videos from me so here are some tips for going the EXTRA mile to make the brake job absolutely perfect! Do you guys do anything else that I didn’t cover??? If so comment below! 1. Never hang brake calipers from the brake line. They aren’t designed for that kind of pulling force so it can damage them. 2. Always clean brake rotors when they are brand new because they have oils on them from the factory to prevent them from rusting. 3. Clean the caliper bracket where the brake hardware sits so there is less vibration which means less brake noise. 4. Clean your caliper guide pins and the holes in the caliper bracket which they fit into and lubricate them with new silicone lubricant. 5. Lubricate the ears of your brake pads and the brake caliper piston with ceramic brake lubricant to prevent brake noise. 6. Bleed/Flush old brake fluid out and get new brake fluid in because brake fluid is hygroscopic and absorbs water over time which makes it less effective. #ChrisFix #PermatexPartner #DIY

For Canadians, put anti seize on the surrounding hub before installing the rotor. Don’t get any on the lug studs though, not good for those
