Thank You Very Much Khan,i need to change my Opel Zafira a Rear Caliper and your video help me a lot.Greetings from Germany.
Good to hear from you. Thanks
Thank you Khan; I’m about to have a go at changing my calipers and will let you know how I get on :)
Good luck 👍. Thanks
Thanks Khan done mine this morning good informative video .
You are welcome thanks
Hi, is it the same set up for Zafira A? Not sure if its just my handbrake cable that needs replacing or caliper too? I freed it off earlier as the disc wouldn't rotate freely and rear discs were red hot. I banged the cable mechanism upwards to release it and tapped the carrier and caliper with a hammer. This freed it nicely. I took the car out literally round the block and when i checked them they were red hot again and binding as before. I refuse to use my handbrake at the moment because of this reason yet they've started binding again??? Thanks in advance for any advice and keep the videos coming, cheers.
Going to do my Astra j when parts come in. Good video, hope I kahn do too. many thanks.
Good luck
If you leave marks on the brake hose from clamping it can be an MOT failure! Also protect the hose - I use long nose grips with a bit of garden hose over each nose- so rubber on rubber - never had a problem. You'd be kicking yourself if it failed an MOT having fitted a new caliper
U have a very strong point
I will make sure that next time I use that technique
Just think a new coper washer on brake pipe would be nice
Good idea
two actually .
My handbrake cable didn't have a clip it was plastic tabs . I used a pair of long nose pliers to squeeze together, and wd40 to loosen cable from mounting hole.
Great stuff
Good job brother
You are welcome thanks
Zafira ma dwa typy zacisków. Bosch i lukas
To save the hassle of removing the brake line would it be possible to just crack the hose/fitting bolt slightly and rotate it away from the caliper bolt to allow better access, and then immediately re-tighten, to at least allow the use of a ring spanner?
Yes you can but make sure to bleed the braking system to get rid of vacuum inside the hose
The line must be moved to the new caliper though🤣
@@richardrichard5409 Granted I didn't state the context but my comment was in reference to purely gaining access to the disc/pads etc and not to change the caliper.
Just going to change both rear calipers on an astra h tomorrow. Is it the same set up. Both existing calipers are sticking on when handbrake is pulled up and staying on when handbrake is released
Hi. Yes its going to be the same setup. Good luck 👍
@@diykhan what's the easiest way to bleed the brakes
Get someone to pump it while u bleed the brakes
My 2006 Z-B just failed it's mot. Garage says it needs a new caliper and will call me in the morning with a price. How much do you think it should be? Many thanks.
The caliper was 35 pounds
A vauxhall dealership would charge you 250quid to change one caliper
True
Good
Thanks
Can the caliper be setup by pumping the brakes or must it be bled? Thanks.
There have to be bled so that there is no vacuum in the system
The ball on the handbrake cable is not seated right mate.
I did put the ball at right place. Camra didn't cover that
How did you get the ball to sit right? I've just done mine and it doesn't want to fit in! Don't want to bend the metal too much
@@scuzzbucket337seat the ball properly whilst caliper is not attached to car... Once cable fitted then fit caliper
Any chance of link to where you got caliper from please
I bought them from ebay. U will have to select the car model and year n it will tell u if its for your car
I don't have a link otherwise I would have sent it to u. Sorry
Ok thankyou and nice video 👍
@@daveyjones1970 you are always welcome
If you use molegrips on the pipe use some cardboard to help not damage the pipe. Scissor Jack and no Jackstand I do see you have a tyre underneath but you are gambling with that widow maker Scissor Jack. Using electric isolation screwdriver is bad as it has soft metal. Why are you not changing that disc and checking the handbrake?
I don't think it's a good idea to clamp brake pipes, that's how they end up collapsing inside and causing binds etc
