Great video. Before I pressed the piston back, I opened the brake reservoir lid, pressed the piston back, reassembled everything and then put the reservoir lid back on. I pressed the brake pedal several times and then drove it. It's fine however the pressure on the pedal is not as strong as it was. What can I do to fix without bleeding the hoses which I didn't need to do?
Thank you for the feedback! If you have any difficulties, we recommend that you go to the Service station , where specialists with professional equipment will solve this problem much easier.Best regards, Autodoc.
Great video. I struggled today trying to remove both caliper bolts but the space was so small that I could not get into it using 7mm hax 3/8 drive socket. Instead I can use the way you showed in the video - so much easier! All I have seen so far is 7mm hax with round driver head for 3/8 but I need the one you showed in the video. What's the exact name of the one you use please? Many thanks!!!!

Always remove the brake fluid reservoir filler cap and leave of until the the of this job, new disks and pads are thicker than the old, the brake reservoir fluid level will rise.
Thank you for your feedback! Thats right, To install a caliper for new shoes, the piston must be pressed back into the caliper a special tool as shown in the video. Rotate the piston during installation is not necessary. Best regards, Autodoc.
He made a big mistake by letting the brake caliper hang by the rubber brake line. That is dangerous and could damage the brake line. The proper method is to hang the caliper by a bungee cord. Never let a brake caliper hang by the brake line as shown in this video.
Thank you for the feedback!Your opinion and remarks are very important for us. We will take them into consideration for our next tutorial. Best regards, Autodoc.
Euro vehicles use ultra lightweight calipers so no damage is going to be done. But what he was sloppy with was no greasing the slide pins or the brake pad ears to ensure smooth braking
No, it's not a star bit, it is a usual hexagon head. Yes, the #7 means 7 millimeter metric. You can buy it in a car specialized store. Best regards, Autodoc.
I have a question.My car is 2013 model volvo XC90,Im not sure that the way to change brake disc is the same or not，cuz the car in video is 2008 model。。。
Thank you for your feedback! Yes, Basically this procedure is similar. It could be difficulties with caliper differences and its caliper adapter brackets. Best regards, Autodoc.

Don't forget to release the parking brake before attempting to remove the rotor. Otherwise it will NOT come off the hub, and you'll spend an hour beating it with a hammer and cussing. Ask me how I know.
Shouldn't the fasteners be tightened to torque specs? Should certain parts (like guiding pins and pads mating surfaces) be cleaned and greased? This looks like a professionally produced video, why not give professional advice?

Thank you for your feedback! We agree that this is a huge mistake, the caliper should be hung with a hook that would not damage the brake hose, in new videos we have already corrected this error. Best Regards, Autodoc Team!

I wish there were more written detail to go along with what the guy's doing, I was lost within the first 3 minutes of the video.

less music and more explanation.
DON'T NEED THE UN-INFORMING, BACKGROUND NOISE.
Ordinary workshop sounds would have been good enough.
Thank you for the feedback! The music can be turned off in the area below the video for your comfort.. Best regards, Autodoc.
You're letting the caliper hang with its brake hose putting too much strain causing it to crack. Torque on caliper and bracket bolts? Dumb video.
Thank you for your feedback! We agree that this is a huge mistake, the caliper should be hung with a hook that would not damage the brake hose, in new videos we have already corrected this error.
