Great video, helped me loads. Used a 4" grinding disc remover tool to wind in the caliper piston. At first I was only winding it round and was wondering why it wouldn't go in, then I realized that you had to force the piston in at the same time as winding it.
cheers for info would you believe i tried changing them and didn't know about winding them in to get piston back in then i was trying to do it out the front of my house late lol now i see i need the tool cheers
Can i offer a little tip? Always keep the copper grease off the ends of the brake pads where they slide in the calipers. The reason being dust will stick to it and then clog the carrier sliders with a sticky gunk that can cause sticking.
Hello, thank you for posting this. Some people say you should open the bleed nipple when screwing the piston back. Is that really necessary? Wouldn't you have to bleed the brakes after?
MoOnGo13 The way the pads/clips are designed, I think there's only one way for them to be fitted on the inside like that, so it shouldn't be a problem ;o)
Agree with Geoff Matthias, that amount of grease is positively dangerous. It’s only one step short of greasing the discs ! Also if you must use an air line for brake dust you must wear a very good face mask; far better to use proper brake cleaning spray.
I spent an hour trying to fit the pad with the draft clip on the wrong side of the disc. Wished I'd watched your great video earlier
Love your sense of humour and your Irish accent. Thanks

johnm400uk Was under the impression that metal free ceramic based grease should be used, at least these days.

Very precise, excellent.
Do I need a right or left screw thread for the calliper winding in tool
There's enough grease to do 3/4 sets of pads
just imagine the pads getting hot in use and all that grease melting and running all over the pads including the fronts!
So much copper on there, you could weigh them in for scrap.
Very usefull, good quality. Thanks. :)
Great help thanks !
is here a handbrake cable to prise off first
Do the rubbers on the 7mm nuts at the back have to be their
Good video! Gwan, gwan clicked :)
Very helpfull thanks
thank you for this video
One question.. The metal clip is on the inside of the disk okay... but i put it on the downside. Is that a problem? Know what I mean?

good video
cheers man
Don't use copper grease on brakes alloy caliper+steel+copper not a good combo g
Way to much grease, using an airline on brakes all that air borne dust ? Brake cleaning fluid is safer ?
I never put on my pads grease. Having zero issues.

3:42, dud he just put a copper greased finger on the friction side of the pad??? Way too much grease and it's not meant to be on the disc.
Bulbus amount of copper grease🤣
als wenn der sich ein brot schmiert viel zu viel
bischen viel Kupferpaste nicht mehr ist besser
Oh no. You put your greasy finger on the friction surface of the first pad. That is now contaminated.
