nice one. Added the torque setting for my own future ref, hope this helps: Front Brake Caliper Mounting Bracket Bolts = 120 Nm, Front Caliper Guide Bolts (if doing pads only) = 28 Nm
Nice, thanks for sharing the torque values.
For anyone that doesn't have that special piston compression tool. I used a g-clamp with the old pad to push the piston back in. It goes in pretty easily.
Good video, I used more copper grease and wire brushed lots of it clean.
Also I cleaned the sliding pins and greased it.
Good idea I should have cleaned up.
Really saved me lots of money from a garage. Simple and easy to do
thanks for the video👍
Cracking video, attempting mine the weekend, and this made it look so simple. Thanks for sharing 👍
Thanks, and good luck.
You make it look simple. Thanks.
really nice and clean DIY "how to".... thank you
Don't have a decompression tool but was able to do it using a the handle of my rachet
Very informative.....Big help.....Thank you
Thanks John, glad it helped.
verry nice thanks
Very good .. learned a lot,well explained
Thanks for the feedback, very much appreciated.
I always srape meticulously on the sliding surfaces and add copper paste on them. VERY IMPORTANT. AS IMPORTANT IS TO NEVER TOUCH THE BRAKE SURFACES.
Agree, cleaning the friction points is a great idea, however not touching the brake surface I’m not so worried about. These are materials designed to cope with stopping a 2 tonne lump of metal speeding down the road at 90mph. I don’t think a fingerprint or two will matter too much. Thanks for watching and your feedback. 👍
Glad I watched this before attempting because I don't have ratchet Allen keys... yet 😂
Makes life a lot easier :-)
Hi chief.
Saw no vigoroùs cleaning and wire brushing of the mating suface in prep for fitness of the new disc. Couldn't see how rusty & filthy it must've been but no doubt would've caused much vibration,binding and out of true rotation during driving. Also can be lethal to not clean the protective oil off of the new disc as all service manuals would stipulate as critical.
Hope all went well and that you accept this comment as a bit of help & advice for next time.
Regards,
Rogey (Roger)
Thanks for your valid feedback. Never had problems with vibrations, binding etc. Brakes were relatively clean but yes the protective oil should be removed. Ive never had problems doing like this though.
Thanks for watching the video and taking the time to give feedback.
@@MotoringEvents Keep up the DIY. Research as much as you can first though,as sometimes the simplest of things we wouldnt think of doing (or NOT doing,like greasing back of brake pads) could be seriously dangerous if y know what I mean.
Bye,then,
Regards,
Me again.
Thanks for the video I’m now going to do my own you can get a full piston tool kit on eBay for around £17 upto £20 don’t for get to clean the disc as it has a layer of film on i use WD-40 to wipe them over
Never clean discs!!! They have to stic with dry surface.
Tool kit cost you repair. I paid £30 for both sides. Mechanic can do that in 30min.
@@bestpeter78 look after that mechanic then coz he is cheaper than everyone else..
@@bestpeter78 you should always clean discs with brake cleaner first. There is an oil preserver film on them from manufacture. You should also always clean the cradle with a wire brush and use copper grease at the end of pads that are in contact with the cradle before fitting pads to eliminate brake noise/squeal.
I’m a mechanic
@@vrglcom thanks👍🏻
uee brake cleaner for discs..rubber grease for slide pin rubber...and copper grease for back of pads , hub...and tips of sliding area.
Fair comments, I've never had any problems though.
No. NEVER use copper grease on pads. It's mad! Why would you? They're designed to not squeel these days. Anti squeel plates etc. Grandads may have used this method 30 years ago but too many died after brake failures to tell the tail.
Old place from disc better clean it a bit with sand brusch, just in case to not bum when new disc will be on it.
Did you need to bleed the breaks mate.
Not then, no.
Don’t forget the copper grease yeh 👍
Yeah got lazy with the copper ease, never squeals though.
Shame you never mentioned anything about releasing the lock screw on the disk to remove it. Or shows any cleaning or copper coated grease applications on the rebuild.
There isn't a lock screw and I've never needed copper ease on modern brakes 🤷♂️.
I see you didn't use any brake cleaner for the disc also didn't clean the color quiz at all the pins it is also advisory that you need to put a cloth around the brake fluid cap just in case the brake fluid returns back to the reservoir
Good points, thanks for the feedback.
its actuall torx 45 i think..not helen key
7mm hex
Torqued to spec! No brake cleaner in sight.
Good points, but I don't have a torque wrench or brake cleaner, never had a problem though.
What are torque specs on this ?
Lol dont bother torqueing your paranoid
You are doing things correctly not looking after your tools and also where's the copper grease is supposed to clean him and put put the copper grease so so when you break you don't hear this creaking noise I see you don't like working with surgical gloves
NEVER put copper grease on brakes. For goodness sake! It's silly! Has been since around 1985.
