Resetting the Caliper Piston by Pumping for Changing Brake PadsMy name is Jon with Expertvillage.com and in this video clip we will go through the final procedures for replacing our brake pads. Since we depressed the caliper piston the brakes will be spongy when you first step on them. You are going to want to step on them several times, pushing them down as far as they go, so that you can reset that piston. After you have set the caliper piston, what you want to do is drive a short distance, stopping frequently to ensure that everything is working properly on your brakes. Good luck with changing your disc brake pads.

I had no clue how to do any of this, and I am very excited to find this and learn this! I look forward to trying it!
post a video of the drum brake
Nice videos, makes it look very easy :) I wish they were all together for easier viewing, but maybe thats a limitation on this site? I own a '92 Protege 5 which as disc brakes on all 4 wheels, and the brakes just started to squeel slightly. Question: Do you only need to replace the rotor if it has deep grooves or pits?
students getting an automotive mechanic course should watch this video.
