Yikes, those old rotors sure have seen better days.
Waiting on weather right now, but have new power stop slotted rotors, ceramic carbon pads and new calipers all waiting to be done. Gonna follow your brake bleed procedure first to make sure I have all clean fluid.
Its good practice to clean & brush all the parts that matter before offering up the discs n pads & take all the little bits off first ,i noticed that you were cross contaminating all the new parts with touching it with greasy dirty gloves & also dropping rust n crap onto the paste when taking the bits out.
Personally when i do this job i will clean all the wheel arch plastics & clean off the ball joints etc a little & make that area reasonably clean , the reason being is that it makes the area look fresh & also gets the muck off the bolts ends on the joints for future ease repairs n replacements of them parts . i hate it when its left to build up & you end up struggling when that repair time comes .
Also when winding the pistons back it needs to be done slowish as some ppl take the reseviour cap off & it can raise the fluid out the top, when all thats complete you then bleed the brakes to get any air out to make your system solid & safe .
lol im just particular tbh 😁
Anyway i liked your video 👍🏼

I've never seen anyone use a torque wrench on anything with breaks…
What's stopping the brake pads from contacting the rotor when my foot's not on the brake?
I changed the brake pads of my 2018 crv. but it lost the pressure in the pedal, why did it happen?
Nice one
