Default C6 Z06 Brake Pad Replacement - ThatCuteGinger

Hey guys! Just wanted to share a video my daughter did on brake pad replacement on a friend's Z06. It really is a straight forward process, and hopefully this helps with anyone that is about to tackle it! Enjoy!

Awesome

Look at the reflection smile at 3:38. That is how I look when I get my girlfriend to clean while I sit in a lawn chair.

Ok, just trying to be helpful (and please feel free to pass this on to her).

I stopped watching as soon as she said "remove the 2 13/16ths bolts..".

There are NO SAE fasteners on this car (with the exception of the square drive fill and drain bolts on the trans), it's ALL METRIC.

And she called the guides pins "pistons", which to a laymen might be confusing.

She seems like she has a love for working on cars, and that's great.. I'm sure she'd also appreciate being precise, so just let her know when you're working on a mdoern Corvette, leave the SAE tools behind, metric only.

That 13/16 sure broke those bolts loose, though! Thanks for the feedback, sir.
