"MARK BLOCKER: Okay. In this segment, we're going to cover installing the brake pads and if you've paid attention to my last segment, I hadn't been wearing my gloves in a last couple of segments. Reason being is, I'm working with these brand new clean brake pads and my gloves being kinda covered in contaminants between the cleaning solutions and various grease and everything and solvents, and I don't want to get that on these new pads. We want to keep these clean and dry prior to installing. I'm going to put that, touch a little bit of lubricant I discussed with you just previously and get that on here. I'm just going to take the tip of my finger smear it around over the entire surface in each application, being careful not to contact the rotor or any other brake part. Now wipe any excess off of my finger so I don't transfer that over to the pads. I'm going to do the inboard one first. It doesn't really matter and it just slides right down into groove, sits in the pad. And that's how they sit in. In the caliper when you apply it over the top one of the bimetallic springs located in the top of the caliper now holds a little bit of tension on the downward force but the pads can't come out sort of kinda sandwich in place with caliper. That concludes the installation of the brake pads. Please watch our next segment on the installing the caliper."
