DIY Brake Pad Replacement Video, Need Suggestions

[The Critic]

Next Saturday, I'll be replacing the rear brake pads, resurfacing the rotors and pressure bleeding the brake system on a 2005 Infiniti G35. I will be doing this job with ByThaBay on this forum, who already has a library of videos on how-to perform various maintenance tasks. We would like to add a video on rear brake service.

As the viewer, what would YOU like to see covered in this video? I want to make this video as helpful as possible to others. So far, I plan to cover the following:

- Proper caliper piston retraction
- Proper caliper bracket cleaning and lubrication
- Proper rotor indexing and resurfacing
- How-to check rotor runout
- How-to check disc thickness variation
- Proper brake burnishing

What am I missing? Any suggestions on what else to cover (or not cover) in the video is greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

just a couple of ideas
proper parking brake adjustment
wheel bearing inspection
brake line inspection
shock/strut/suspension inspection

Don't forget about safety first like how to jack up the car and proper placement of jackstands. If you want you could mention the torque specs for the bolts and stuff. Just some ideas.

Looking forward to see that video.

Already have a video for that in the library. I'll definitely mention the torque specs.
