Thank you so much for a very thorough walk-through. My discs were completely shot, and your video allowed my dad and I get me back on the road in no time! Saved me a bunch of money too!
That's why we do this. 👌🐷 Well done 👍
Thanks for this video, it helped a lot. Did help my friend yesterday changing front disks and pads on his transit, when almost finished with the second wheel, when torquing the 13 mil. (new) bolts one broke off and we had to extract the stud from the inside of the unit,( drilling did not work), so we ended up by welding a bolt op the piece of stud that stuck out. Then we were able to twist the broken stud out. Whole procedure took us about 50 mins. I hope this will contribute in case people may experience the same issue
Yeah that's what I would have done too. Welders for the win. Well done for doing the job with your mate 👌🐷
Thanks for this, very good vid. I watched another where they used a long bolt to separate the disc from the bearing to save bashing it. I doing mine this weekend so binge watching vids! Cheers.
Yes that would work too. If you're not reusing the disc, bash away 🤣👍👌🐷
Good video! It worth mentioning that special care shall be observed to keep sealings undamaged when pushing in caliper pistons . Also newton meter shall be used for the nut to get the correct tightness of the bearing. Thank you and good luck, my working class brother!
👍🐷
Thanks so much for this outstanding video. Perfect illustration and commentary. Keep them coming....
Thanks 👍🐷
Great vid! Filmed and explained very good!
Thanks☺️🐷👍
Great & concise video mate 👍 better then most of the blubbering rubbish of how to vid’s on RUclips
Hey thanks! That's kind! 👌🐷
Great guide..no messing.👍
Thankyou 👌
what a fantastic video il be doing mine next week now iv watched this cheers
No worries, hope it helps..stay safe.... And smash that like and subscribe 😆🐷👍
Long gone have the days of a simple brake disk swap. Used to take the wheel off, remove caliper and retain screw and done.
I've done the rear set and that was a pig. Thanks for this, ill be doing my front disks and rear pads at the weekend.
Agreed.
Nice one piggy. Great video pal 👍 👌 👏
Thanks 👌🐷
Sweet. Good work. Now I do my van.
All the best 👍🐷
Great guide, thank you.
You're welcome 👌🐷
Thank you fore this video🙏 it helped me a lot
You're welcome 👌🐷
i have no Transit but everything is easy and well explained
Thanks 👌🐷💪
Great vid mate. Attempting mine today, so fingers crossed it all goes as well as it did with yours!😉
All the best, take your time, keep safe and have a break if things getting frustrating 👍🐷
@@PiggyPower all went well to be honest. I made the mistake of thinking I had a 13mm 1/2 drive (for my gun) once the hub was off. A quick trip to Toolstation... Boom back on track!
Cheers.👍
@@davebrough4244 ahh yeah. Having some 1/2" impact deep sockets are well worth it for bigger vehicles 👍🐷 well done
Very good video clear explanation
Thankyou
excellent vid, very well filmed and explained. thanks
Thankyou. Sometimes I make some effort 😂🙈👍🐷💪
Great video 👍👍
Thankyou appreciate it 👍🐷
Good job nice video to learn from
You're welcome 😁
excellent video! mega helpful, saved me a garage bill 🚐👍👍
Glad to help 👌🐷
excellent job
Thankyoi
Buen trabajo;;👍👍
Muchas Gracias
thanks its perfect video
No worries 👍😁🐷💪 please subscribe
Looking good as always
My face? 🧐
@@PiggyPower is there anything else you own that looks good?
I own a few mirrors that seem to look pretty ace when I'm around them
Very good video
Many thanks 👍🐷
Good job 👍
Many of the thankyous!
Great video, does the same apply for a mk 6 transit, 👍thank you
In principle yes, for the custom and torneo I think
Great video
Thanks 👍🐷💪
That video is super useful. Thanks for it!
No worries ☺️👍🐷💪
Do you need a 12 point 36mm socket for the hub nut or will a standard socket do?
I used a 6 sided one as per the video
I avoid 12sided at all costs!
Good video but if you have skill you can get the t50s out by keeping ur finger in the trigger and u pull it out the momentum keeps grip on the torx coz of all the dirt and stuff 9/10 I do it just feels good😂 not a need it just feels good haha
Feels good is good feels
Brilliant video, thank you. Do you happen to know if the wheel studs can be replaced without taking the hub off? I know it can sometimes be quite tricky to fit new studs in round the back depending on length/access
I'm not entirely sure, sorry 🐷
Nice video what’s the torque setting for the centre nut please?
In the description 😜
great video, what type of gun do you use?
Milwaukee. I've used a Ryobi for years but it's no match for this beasty
Merci pour cette superbe vidéo je c'est comment procéder maintenant
je c'est quil me manque du nettoyant frein une douille de 36 et une brosse métallique
Super tuto dommage quil sois pas sous-titré en français,
Bonne continuation
Going to need...English 🙈🤪🤣
@@PiggyPower "Thank you for your superb video" . . .etc etc. You can just cut and paste it into google and the English will pop up on your screen.
@@gasgas2689 I can't do that unless I'm on a PC though. Quite frustrating that neither the RUclips app nor the special RUclips creator app allow translation or copying of comments to enable me to do so. Glad he liked it anyway and thanks for the extra comment 👍🐷
As I see it, in the time needed to do one wheel here I'd do all four in a more "classic" setup with discs just sitting on the hubs. And I'm not a pro by any mean. :D
Yup, they are an absolute pain to do!! Annoying eh!
Nice👏👏👏
👌🐷
Hub nut is recommended to be changed but should definitely be torqued to 410nm
All the nuts and bolts are usually reccomdended to be changed tbh
Are the rears this difficult to change, or are they more like traditional discs to change? My garage charged me £370 to change the front discs and pads, I feel this is expensive! Didnt fancy doing the fronts due to having to separate the hubs!
It's expensive if you thought it should cost £100.
Or it took them 30minutes...
But it's all relative...
£80/HR+vat for a lot of garages now? Plus the parts. Get a quote ahead of repairs is what I always say 👌🐷
I wouldn't approach doing any work on the brakes if you're not so confident.
Excellent video! thanks for the clarity. Gonna have a go tomorrow ! Gulp!
@@owenjoseph6097 stay safe, take your time 👌🐷
I'm really surprised they kept old design from mk6 mk7. Back then it was done (I recon) because differend trim levels. custom only comes with 5 stud wheels, with only one hub width....
Yeah it's a pretty dumb design if I'm honest. But it's all about keeping costs down and making money at the end of the day
My friend, where can I buy parts for Ford Transit in online stores? thanks
...try online stores?! 🤔
Right. How many nm of ugga dugga does your gun have? Ive been swinging off the hub nut woth a breaker bar and my 400nm 1/2" drive gun, but to no avail..
My Milwaukee I think is close to 1000nm break torque. Lift up with breaker bar using your legs .. or put a scaffolding pole over the breaker
@PiggyPower tried all that - I've never had a hub nut as tight as this bugger is, and I used to drive a Land Rover. (Use drive sparingly, mostly lay under!) Hahaha! It's getting close to having to get my mate with Snap On threaten it! And all I need to do is a soddin' CV boot! 🤣
P.S. your video is super helpful - it makes me realise I'm not doing things wrong, just bolts are being an arse!
Yeah some are really tight. Really tight. Get a big snapon air gun on it..she'll shift
How strong thread locker are you using?
Gorilla glue 🙊🤣
Seriously though, just you're everyday thread lock is fine
@@PiggyPower 😆
Great vid thank you. Is sniffing a lot during the job important with transits? 😉
Makes me tear up for sure. Likely hayfever season when I did it... it puts me out of action often. Apologies!
Just replaced the front brakes on a 2019 transit tourneo/custom and the bolt holes on the hub were different. I was unable to find anyone on the net with the same issue so I thought I'd slap it here. To resolve the issue I had to install new hub/bearings. Ford are aware of this and wanted £343 for new front discs
Bolt holes on the hub were different? How? So how did new hub/bearings resolve the issue?
The bolt holes on the old discs were 2mm further from the center. Old discs were 7mm all other transits I've done and the new discs were 5mm. When I put the first bolt in the new disc it threw the other bolt holes out by up to 4mm
The new hub bearings resolved it because they married up to the new discs
So is this a ford problem, assuming the old discs and hubs are ford original parts when new?
I think they changed the design slightly in some models but kept it hush. The drive shaft wasn't a split pin set up as well instead it had a lock nut
Haven’t you damaged the wheel bearing by knocking the bearing carrier out of the knuckle by hitting the disc? The bearing carrier is held up on its outer which is effectively the outer race. Hitting the disc drives a force through the hub which in turn drives the inner race of the bearing!?!?
Nope 👍
I wanted to do all of the discs, pads, calipers and m/cyl on my 2009 Transit motorhome because it's 3500kg and I'll be going up and down the Alps this summer. I started with a rear, went and bought a 36mm socket and with all my 80kg weight on the end of a 5ft pole and power bar I couldn't undo the hub nut. (I know the left side is left hand thread) So I either have to buy an air wrench which I'll never use again (I'm 73) or pay a garage. Knowing my luck the air wrench won't undo it either. I'll probably end up robbing a bank and paying a garage to do it. And I bet my local engineering nuts and bolts specialist shop doesn't charge £45 for a nut.
Wow that's tight! See if you can ask a garage for a pack of beers to loosen those rears for you, then nip them up, so you can return home to finish it. You'll have to buy a £500 impact gun to be within a chance if a 5ft pole doesnt do it.
15:10 The manufacturer spec says new bolts every time, they are stretch bolts.
All bolts stretch 😜
but no doubt you are correct, in fact, a MAJOR amount of bolts for braking and suspension components on MOST cars should be replaced everytime, yet no one does.
Какова года машина ?
See description 👌
Excellent video!👍😁
Why Ford?! Make it SO DAMNED convoluted to change a brake rotor. 🤦♂️
Yeah, it's quite complicated...but more common than you think on large vehicles like vans
Yeah right pita. Had to change wheel bearings so did the brakes at the same time to avoid having to pull the hubs off again in a few thousand miles
All them bolts are torque to yield. Gotta replace em.
I've seen conflicting information. If you're not sure, go ahead, buy new, but only get geniune from Ford 👍👍🐷
o men im surprised that you didnt broke that tread on the axle, always leave lose nut and hit nut when still on axle
Look carefully... I used a copper hammer 😉👍 if you don't have one... Yes... Use with the nut method or an aluminium drift. I've seen threads stripped using the nut method mind.
06 tra sit disc back removai
Sorry what now?
Terrible design. Every time you do a brake change, you're basically changing bearing as well,plus every time bolts have to be replaced as well. Then there's the ridiculous torque setting of 420nm for the hub nut, average DIY mechanic has one up to 230nm as 420 one is so expensive, I would reccomend to anyone doing this job to buy two T50s as they have the tendancy to snap, and always get a new 36mm socket for hub nut as well.
Yeah it's not fun! 🤣👌🐷
2:10 That "clip" is a Cotter Pin.
Issue is... Cotter pin is quite an old school technical term in the UK for this clip. It's a cotter pin here for some, split pin for others, split pin in a few other countries too, some think of cotter pins as the R clip too .. I do agree with you but Im learning I often have to use more generic terms with certain items so that when translated or watched in a different country, everyone understands 👍
@@PiggyPower "Cotter" refers to the pins inventor as He names it. Ira J. Young invented the cotter pin in 1912 in St. Louis, Missouri. It is not a clip, it is a pin. A Clip holds two or more things together under spring tension. A cotter pin does not do this. It is more of a wedge. The UK has several terms that are very odd by American and other standards. But as an example, You call rubber boots, (Galoshes) "Wellingtons" after their inventor Admiral Wellington, out of respect. Do the same for Mr. Young.
Galoshes and wellies are different things 😉 but I love your commitment to the old split pin origin! 😊😊👍
@@PiggyPower I was only speaking in general to get my point across. "Wellies" ??? Really ??? hehehe
Yes. Wellies.
Very similar indeed, even so year and model in title or description would be great. (Mk8 = forth gen, VN)
It's mentioned in the first line of the description?!
Mmmm big fail because new bolts must replace the old ones all of them because they are torque bolts one time use i hope your customer is still alive ...Ford statement not me 😥
Every manufacturer says this about pretty much every suspension and braking bolt. Do some asking around... I bet you'll find 0 garages that do replace them. Clean them. Inspect them. Use threadlock if concerned and torque to spec. Of course my customer is still alive 👍
All bolts are torque bolts by definition
I’m a mechanic and mot tester in a garage, we always change the hardware that comes with new parts. Only cowboys don’t. And no not all bolts are torque bolts hence why some bolts are use once and some literally don’t matter.
@@boosteddiesel1834 thankyou for working hard in the trade, especially over the last year, hope you're safe/well and keeping head above water, so to speak.
I replace hardware if it's supplied, of course.
All bolts have a torque spec. With basic mathematics you can actually work out what torque any given bolt will required to hold it fast. Ford actually supply a torque setting for every one of the bolts I touched just in this guide.
Some are stretch bolts by design, others are not. (Technically again, all bolts stretch slightly when torqued to spec, then return when loosened) Those that do stretch by design have a tolerance. So you can measure them and reuse if within tolerances. Be cautious with the use of cowboys and your job titles too... I know many more cowboys who have qualifications and work at garages than those who do it as a hobby.
Stay safe, hope your work is good 👍🐷💪
@@PiggyPower Cowboys at garages? You are dead right there. The main franchised Nissan dealer in Coventry failed to change the spark plugs on my Forester when I took it there for a service. When I asked why first they said "Its a Diesel engine SIR and diesels don't have spark plugs". I said "I never swear, but I can't think of anything else to say. It's a petrol engine with four spark plugs. I have paid you to change them so go away and change them". They returned from the workshop and said "It's a Wankel engine and we don't do Wankel engines". I exploded and said its got four round pistons in cylinders and in the cylinder heads are four spark plugs. Go and change them". In the end they said "We don't know how". Having paid for a major service I had to go and buy the spark plugs and change them myself in my driveway at home. A Peugeot main dealer gave me a car back having charged for a reconditioned engine without tightening the head bolts, the gasket blew and the head warped, and they refused to accept any responsibilty. A Mercedes specialised garage managed to break two glow plugs on my car when doing a job that I ended up doing myself. Fortunately I have now found a small garage in a village where the old guy knows how to weld and the young guys know how to work computers.
