Summary: Learn how to reset the caliper piston by pumping the brakes in this free instructional video on how to change brake pads for disc brakes.
" My name is Jon with Expertvillage.com and in this video clip we will go through the final procedures for replacing our brake pads. Since we depressed the caliper piston the brakes will be spongy when you first step on them. You are going to want to step on them several times, pushing them down as far as they go, so that you can reset that piston. After you have set the caliper piston, what you want to do is drive a short distance, stopping frequently to ensure that everything is working properly on your brakes. Good luck with changing your disc brake pads."
