Video Transcript

"Hi, my name is Nate McCullough, on behalf of Expert Village. In these clips we're going to talk about the proper way to remove and replace a front wheel drive vehicles ball joint. In this clip we're going to talk about the proper way to clean your vehicles rotor surface and reinstall your brake pad. We have new ones for this vehicle, thus being that while we were in servicing the ball joint we had the brake pads off and they were excessively worn. First thing to go on is going to be your hardware clips. They clip on just like so. You have an upper and a lower one. You may have to use the pad to hold your clip on. There we go. This is your ware indicator. It is going to go on your inboard trailing edge, when you're going forward, it's going to go just like so. The trailing edge is going to be, as the wheel turns it's going to be the bottom side. This would be the lead edge, this would be the trailing edge. Let me get my clip back on there. Okay, at this point in time it's okay if your rotor has been contaminated with grease or any kind of spray solvents you've been using to take and use your brake clean and spray it off and clean the surface off. We didn't get ours dirty so I'm not going to do that. Take and install our outboard pad, right there. We have some return springs we're going to also put on. That's these guys here. Right there and right there. That's the proper way to reinstall your brake pads."
