Review on Autospecialty KOE4466 1 Click Replacement Brake by Kevin Apriando

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great set, take your time trying it yourself!

In the money and the brakes are creaking badly. The last brake job cost me $1,000. Solution: This pack plus a YouTube video (plus another $50 for parts and tools needed to get the job done in the auto zone). Spent time over the weekend and installed them. As someone else mentioned one of my biggest issues was the stupid rotor key was stripped, both rear and front came off easily, I just drilled them through and didn't replace them. In any case, you don't need them, the nuts hold the tire. To my disappointment they broke very gently the first time, looked at the video and removed all the tires and everything looked right. Then I noticed that my 2014 Traverse automatically opened the hood when the message "working brake system" was given. That was a sign to me that the installation was fine, but something was wrong with the brake fluid line. Back to YouTube and found a lot of air in the brake lines. Once this is removed (and the old fluid washed off since I was working on this anyway) the brakes work fine. The mechanic in the neighborhood checked and approved my work, so that was kind of a guarantee. If you take on this project, take your time, use brake cleaner when needed, lube when needed, and have someone train you to at least walk you through the process, even if you can watch 10 YouTube videos: it does it all is much simpler than them! Say hello to "Chris Fix" on YouTube as his videos have been very helpful but make sure you also try to find your specific vehicle video, there were some great steps in my itinerary from his general brake work video.
