I do not know if brake pads and rotors would be considered pre-school or kindergarten level automotive repair but I have at least accomplished it once. The friend helping me did not know video was rolling so the conversation was entertaining. (I was going to tell him but thought it more entertaining to show him later)

Your man card is irrevocable - USMC. Accomplished more than a lot; even those that can change their own pads. Congrat's anyway for keeping your man card updated.

You retain you man card for doing it, however no points are awarded. You did not swear, throw tools nor show your buttcrack.
Your buddy does get points for the Slayer shirt however.

I was carrying however, CCW while changing brakes just in case I needed to shoot the help. Oh and for the benifit of the masses I edited out the preliminary but crack video, but if that's all it takes.

Please tell me you were using more than one jack and a milk crate to hold up the front end. [Shock]

It was on two jack stands plus the jack and both wheels were underneath the vehicle. (Off to see if there is video of that.)

Milk crate was there to hold the piston caliper and not screw up the hose.

And it appears that I may have possibly figured out embed.

Ha! I just did the front brakes on one of my cars a few minutes ago. 5 lugnuts and two caliper bolts. That's it! I wish they were all that easy. On my Amigo I have to disassemble and repack the wheel bearings each time. If it makes you feel any better, I bled the brakes so infrequently that I don't really know how to do it still...

High five for a productive man weekend.

Tell your friend that he needs a better set of ceramic pads. Seriously.

ETA: That is how I grease the contact points as well. Put it on the pad, put pad on bridge.

I suspected as much, but he is set in his ways.

Okay, just checking. You have too many cameras in your shop. [Coffee]
