Seating Brake Pads

Video Transcript

"Once you've gotten the brake bracket back on, you want to make sure once again that there is no debris in the way. Check your pads and make sure you've applied your anti-seize or whatever backing that came in the packaging with the brake pads. Then just simply stick them back into the bracket itself, making sure that you don't put them in their backwards to where their abrasive side may be facing out, because if you're doing it really quick, you may make a mistake. You want to make sure they are also seated into place well into the bracket so that you don't have a problem with putting the caliper back on to this brake assembly. Some cars are made to where they have a clip, or a bolt that actually goes through and holds the pad into place. So, this car is pretty straight forward. You put the pad back on, and you have seated your brake pads back into your caliper. So that's basically in general, putting the pads back into your caliper bracket."
