    She’s such a good teacher and walks you through it step by step you can tell she’s an experienced mechanic
  • The professionalism and thoroughness of this tech is really impressive. I spent almost 10 years working in service shops and had Master techs doing half as good a job as her. Has to be the best brake change video out there!
  • @ukimonkey1
    Excellent tutorial! Very impressed with the mechanic and the verbal commentary during the disassembly/assembly of the front rotor and pads. Thank you for posting!
  • @270billjones
    I’ve watched this video 16 times. Pick up something new each time. Thank you!
  • I used every part of this today when I realized my front left brakes had effectively eaten the rotor. Thank you for such a definitive and concise walk through. Very much appreciated.
  • @Cosme422
    Missed some stuff here. Step 1- Open hood. Step 2- Remove cap from reservoir. 3- after the tire is removed, use 8" C-Clamp to squeze caliper piston back before removing any bolts or pads or anything. Then proceed with what is in this video. Also spray the inside of the caliper with BrakeKleen to make sure all parts are clean. Don't want to leave a caliper dirty if everything else was cleaned. oh! and never open the bleeder screw!!! Good quality video. Good job!
  • Really good video. I just changed front/rear brakes, rotors & one rear caliper on my son's 2008 Jeep Wrangler Sahara. IMO, I always change out the metal clips that hold in the pads with new clips & I also replace the little rubber boots over the pins on the calipers. Of course always use caliper grease on the pins before installing the rubber boots. Kudos for cleaning & lubing around the hub area and for being detailed in your video. I'm getting ready to replace rear brake pads & rotors on my daughter's 2015 Jeep Wrangler Sport this week.

    I've been doing brakes for more years than I care to remember and this is the first time I have heard to loosen the bleeder prior to compressing the piston. I have always removed the brake reservoir cap prior to compression so as to not cause extra pressure on the seals in the master cylinder and ABS system. When done, immediately replace the cap on the reservoir. So my question is; "Why chance getting air in the system by loosening the bleeder instead of removing the reservoir cap or even chancing breaking the screw and then having to do more work? I truly would like to know the thought behind this... As to everything else, I like the methodology she uses in doing the brakes. I practice about 99% of what she does with the exception of the bleeder screw.
  • @JLBREMER
    As a female this is great watching a woman do it! Going to tackle mine this weekend so just getting an idea of what to do. Thanks~
  • Sue was awesome and just as awesome at teaching, give her a raise . Thank you for the vid.
  • @LaganFamily
    Never done my own brakes before. Not to discredit the skill this mechanic clearly has, but with the ease in which she completes this...are brakes this easy?
  • @gsabella4
    Awesome videos. I did all 4 rotors and pads for my JK this evening, was definitely challenging at moments with some seized bolts and both front rotors seized up a good bit. BUT all in all got it done, next step is to flush the fluid.
  • @n3tfury
    You kids need to calm down about the "leaf spring" mention. She made a mistake while ON CAMERA. She knows the damn difference. Great video Sue.
  • @craigellis2415
    A great, professional video! Others take way longer to tell you way less. I'm likely a future customer too.
  • @Msleelee9487
    I could watch her videos all day I love to work on my Jeep and she gives me confidence that I can do it as a kid I was under the hood with my dad handing him stuff he was a diesel mechanic so thanks
  • @Gr1dSh7ftR
    Dude this lady is an absolute savage! Excellent tutorial!
  • Thank you very much for this excellent educational video. Your attention to detail on the front brake system was a life saver for me. You saved me approx $300 in labor cost for my Jeep repair. Carry On and take care.
  • @lukehyland5875
    thanks so much for the video! Just completed the front brakes! Rotor was stuck but broke free after a good few whacks with the hammer and had a bit of a pain getting the lug nuts tightened back up without an impact, but overall very straightforward. I just followed the video to a T and got it done in an evening. Thanks again!
  • @dougbourdo2589
    First time I ever saw or heard of maintenance on the caliper slider pins and to not compress the piston back into the caliper by pushing the fluid back into the system. Thank you.
