In this video we remove and replace a set of OEM Brembo brakes on a Chevrolet Camaro and flush out all of the old brake fluid. We also end up replacing the front brake rotors. -Enjoy!

That wheel was moving a bit but the body wasnt when you were torquing down the wheel. Is that a sign of worn bushings?
Thanks for the detail !!! Really well done.
I have a made in 1/15 original Italian made passenger front caliper you can have for $100 and I will ship tge monster for free. Its a 4 pot "Chevrolet by Brembo" and will not fit my 2020 Camaro. Its in great shape and usually go for $260 on eBay. Car guy discount to you. Mine are made in Brembo's new Mexico factory. $250 for the pair with pads…..scares me!!!
I love your videos ! I wish I had 1/64 of your knowledge ,I can buy tools but not smarts/knowledge !
I tell you what, I never got the same brake feeling/performance from my Brem's after replacing the original pads/rotors. IDk but pay the $2000 bucks if you what your brakes to rip your face off again. 🙂
I can't figure out what the round things on top of the brake pads are for?
Okay
i loved the GAAA ZING from the brake cleaner scene !!!…..great video as always….thank you !!!!
this is the most trivial silliest thing but my favorite part about this channel is ya work with your bare hands,, not one of the new age wussy mechanics that glove up like they about to do a rectal exam..
We're still waiting for Mrs. O to hold those two fingers up behind someones head….if you wondered whos head yall aint paying attention.
This video saved me so much money
Can anyone provide the part number for the front and rear rotors?
Gonna be fun when I need to replace my Challengers pads and rotors.. only.. "ONLY" 3,500-4 grand (CDN) in front brake parts alone …. 6 Piston brembo life… 😛
New rotors will warp cut the old ones
And peds and calibers are the same thing with the pins on a 74 Volvo
One small note I discovered: GM procedure states you are to replace the caliper mounting bolts if you remove them. The angle torque spec indicates that these are a torque to yield bolt. They are single use. You could probably use them multiple times but I wouldn't be surprised if the repeated stretching over time will cause them to come loose. Also, coat bolts with loctite completely for the first 2/3rds of the bolt..
Seems kind of crazy to me. But, it is a Brembo performance item made for a performance car. Not surprising that something like this would be the case.
I know this is an old video but that simple ? My wifes car …. you can change all the pads without even taking a wheel off.
Could you put those on a 2nd gen?
I am very confused why an OEM Brembo brake system calls for DOT 3 instead of DOT 4? DOT 4 is super cheap and seems like a sensible combination for a high end brand brake system that is supposed to be tracked. A quart of Valvoline DOT 4 synthetic is 11 dollars from Autozone.
Hey do we need to replace the caliper bolt?
I still prefer "Click Type" torque wrenches 🔧😋
Powerstop upgrade all the way around would do it justice at a fraction of the cost.
I have a 2020 LT1 and empty it weighs 3640 and me in it 3880.
I cannot get traction at all in comp mode. Mustangs get me the first 80ft and then i start pulling hard . The chargers are hilarious . I pull hard on them around 70mph.
I have read top speed in 190 and also read 155.
I was doing 145mph in 5th at 4600 rpms and still pulling. Redline at 6500 and still had 6th gear. Love that 3:73 rear differential. I can build a better ZL1 -1LE for about 15k
eric using a torque wrench? wtf??
That fluid film on the hub is 100% going to cook off. Probably permatex ultra ceramic the only stuff that would handle it.
At what mm depth does the rotor need replacement?
Assuming you didn't skip anything when you first started bleeding it, you bleed it wrong, alpha chassis cards are different than normal.
* Right rear inner
* Right rear outer
* Left front inner
* Left front outer
* Left rear inner
* Left rear outer
* Right front inner
* Right front outer
The lube your were using on the rear pads is copper grease
I have been binge watching these videos and every time he busts out the brake clean I cant help but giggle.
Way to go Mrs O keep that young man on his toes!
Eric you've probably been asked this a zillion times but where did you get that sound clip you use for brake clean? It's awesome
Now I know why I can't break loose the bolt that holds the rotor to the hub. Learn something everyday
Made in Italy then it not gm car,must be junk
Copper shield, the grease ?
Funny, I watch you doing your best on jobs and it is very entertaining, but I feel I was with you helping.. I'm then so exhausted. Wifey then comes and tells me to mow the lawn. Dreams shattered.🙄
Mrs. O always gives me a chuckle.
Hey, what's it mean if those pins are bowed? …Besides get some new ones? We/I did that. What would cause that to happen?
Great video. The caliper torque – what it ended up being after the 90° turn, has sparked a lot of debate on the ‘expert’ forums! TTY bolts, etc. Friggin tight! Thx for posting.
Those are some crappy rotors to be using in a race environment. He'll be replacing them again…
My 2012 Regal has the same front Brembos, this video's been helpful.
I didn’t enjoy watching this one because it was not crusty like all other cars you worked on. Lol.
Dont understand the 33 degree ft pounds then another 90 degree so is that not just 120 ft pound torque
"Shakes like a milennial drinkin' Red Bull." Hilarious!
Wow, I’m impressed the brake pads are made in Italy! I didn’t realize Italy still had any factories left, as their economy seems to be 99% tourism based.
No grease on the pads themselves?
After the break in. Do you also try a "panic" stop? I like to do them…I also like to try a stop that will activate the ABS.
Sweet nice to see that camero again
Why no brake grease on the shim surface that contacts the pistons?
Neither slotted nor drilled rotors for heavy track use!?
Watch torque wrench are you using brother? Thanks
1st: A lot of folks want to know why I did not install slotted, drilled, vented rotors and a different pad.
ANSWER: I only do what I am asked to do by the customer, it is not my car
2nd: Why are the front hubs splined?
ANSWER: This is the same wheel part number bearing used in the 2008 to 2015 Cadillac CTS AWD. GM just fitted them to the Camaro too…
