Awesome.

These kind of beginner vids are awesome as they get people who may have been on the fence about doing this work themselves, to dive in a give it a shot and realize that most of this stuff is fairly straight forward.

I actually did my rotors and pads last weekend - super intuitive and easy! There's no reason to not do it yourself!

The biggest pain in the ass of that job is to not kink that stupid hard line going to the caliper.

The brakes are super easy to do on our trucks. Only thing to keep in mind is to regularly check and lube the caliper pins. When those seizez removing the calipers become a PITA.
