Fixing Squeeky brakes

So, your dad never taught you how to change your own brake pads. Don't worry, I got you. First, grab yourself some WD40. Just kidding. Don't do that. Let me show you how to change your own brakes. First things first, jack up your truck so the tire is about an inch off the ground. Next, remove your wheel. To make my life easier, I'm using a battery powered/edin impact with an adapter for my locking lugs. Next, we'll need to remove this brake caliper. There's two bolts, one on top and one on the bottom. Pretty easy. For comparison, here's the new one. Here's the old one. Let's install. When you get your new brake pad, they should also come with that necessary hardware to install them. The only extra you'll need to buy is brake grease. You'll need to apply the brake pad grease both on these seats, but also on these notches on your brake pads as well as the back to prevent any extra squeaking. hardware. Now, all we have to do is seat the brake pads into the hardware. Next up, we'll need to push back our hydraulic cylinder so they can actually fit over our brand new beefy brake pads. Sedans and small SUVs usually only have one brake cylinder. You could just use a regular clamp and depress it into the seated position. However, due to the size of this truck, we have two of them. We have to compress them together. And to do so, all we're going to do is lay a scrap piece of wood and compress it from the this. All we're going to do now is reinstall the caliper bolts. Lefty loosey, righty tighty. Next, reinstall your wheel. And lastly, torque your wheels to your manufacturer specifications. You did it. Now get out there, hit the open road, you crazy bastard.
