Another big thank you from me for posting this. First side probably took my overly cautious self 30 minutes but the second wheel was probably 10-15 minutes.

[@davidmbell]

Shouldn’t you tighten the brake fluid cap BEFORE first pressing the brake pedal after side one? Otherwise you’ll just force it out?

[@benjamin4827]

Must the bearing run with pressure plate?

[@derekwilson6516]

Hi I just replaced my pads just the front ones on my kia 14 plate sport age only had to push pistons back no pipes disconnected etc
But now brake pedal is soft and going down a significant bit I checked the servo via ur video and it's OK
Is there any reason I would need to bleed the brakes?. Thanks Derek

[@mrconta]

is it same at the rear?

[@julieredhead7777]

Ford transit connect rear brakes

[@bjornmarnes5355]

Nice, clear video, showing clearly how to proceed - a nice, simple job. But the "music"!!! Horrible, repetitive noises. Among the worst I've ever heard! Shame on you!

[@glenmchargue5461]

'Shame on you' they say, like you kicked a puppy or something.

[@joellebars6281]

not as easy if the piston and the bleed valve are stuck.

[@kb1Legendflaco]

You forgot to clean the rotor with brake cleaner!

[@solovolvo]

I shit you not doing an engine swap was easier than putting the brackets back on, busted my thumb and took me an hour just to put them back on, what a shame!

ANY FOOL CAN CHANGE FRONT PADS I SEE YOU DONT SHOW THE BACKS
