Changing Front Brake Pads and Bonus Adjustment of Wheel Bearings
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 28 авг 2024
- I changed the front pads, ready for the trip to Cairns. I had to use the Ceramic pads I bought due to Horsepower sending me the incorrect pads (again). So far, they seem to be a lot better brake pads than the Horsepower brand.
I also found one wheel bearing too loose and another too tight, so I have adjusted them using the pull off method as described in the manual.
Due to the video being too long, I have split the front and rear pad exchange videos and will upload the other shortly.

I have just bought a set of filters for my 4JX1 from him and saved around $20 partly off the overall cost and free postage. Please give this person some support if you are in the market for 4JX1 filters etc.

Don't be fooled by the company name, they sell numerous other things as well as shelving. The two young men are friendly and extremely helpful and it was a pleasure dealing with them both. I can thoroughly recommend them, if you are looking for workshop items, give them a try. You can visit them at Noble Park or they will send anything by mail Australia wide.

just did my front pads last week mate good vid i just undo the bottom slide bolt take it out then just role the pad holder up take outer pad out and use g clamp to push piston in, then slide the galper off the top slider clean and apply lube put back together thats how i do
I used to do it that way too and used a G clamp, the tool I have now came from Ray Man Ray's channel.
I had a slide pin seize so tight, the head wrung off, leaving the pin stuck in the caliper.
I drilled the caliper, and was able to drive it out with a punch.
Changed the entire caliper when I got the chance, but it got me by for a few weeks.
One of the slide pins in the front caliper has a flat machined on it's length, and it's supposed to be put back in the same position ( either the top or bottom, but I can't remember which).
I had a bad one last time, but not that bad. I learned my lesson and lubricate them at least once per year now.
@@thejackaroo4WDcampingchannel Agreed, it's not hard to keep on top of service on these, and seized calipers will very quickly lead to worn disks, and extra expenses.
Probably 99% of Troopers are living on farms, here in Ireland.
And it's fair to say they often get minimal attention, combined with road salt in the winter, and cow/sheep muck all year round.
Whatever gets it through the annual roadworthiness test is the level of maintenance.
I also think that brake grease is definitely better than general or even high temp grease. Regarding farms in Ireland, there would be a lot of moisture around and that won't help, especially if you don't keep an eye on those slide pin boots.@@nigelmchugh5541
Need more light on the job.
I'm sorry it was too dark, I'll use more light next time. If there is anything I can help with, just shout out.
I need to replace my front rotors. Been looking at DBA slotted and dimpled versions. More expensive that standard DBA's but I have read they do provide superior braking when towing and hilly country. Any thoughts?
I wouldn't go with none vented disks just for the cooling ability. However, slotted disks, I'm not that certain about those. If you add the slots surface area together, that is a lot of none braking area.
I think that excellent quality pads outweigh slotted disks.
What weight are you guys allowed pull out there?
Are "over-run" trailer brakes the norm, or perhaps some kind of power brakes?
@@nigelmchugh5541 I am no expert by far, however, BenMitro above tows a trailer. He might chime in and assist here?
The towing capacity of a Jackaroo (Australian Trooper) is 2500 Kg after 1999. Before this, it was 1600 Kg, then 950 Kg before 1992, then 850 Kg and originally 800 Kg.
Normally, trailer brakes are electrically controlled over a certain weight of trailer, but, under that weight, they don't require brakes (I think). I think this varies throughout the states and territories, however, in Victoria it is a maximum of 4.3 m high or in some cases 4.6 m and 12.5 m long including the draw-bar. The width is 2.5m including the guards etc.
If the trailer is over 750 Kg but under 4.5 tonnes, well, look for yourself, it's complicated, Ben will know. www.vicroads.vic.gov.au/searchresultpage?collection=vicroads-web&query=trailerswww.vicroads.vic.gov.au/searchresultpage?collection=vicroads-web&query=trailers
I have a video on the weight of vehicles and things that affect us here in Australia which might shed some light on the subject for you.

@@thejackaroo4WDcampingchannel Ha, so you guys have even more confusing regulations around trailer weights than we do!
In Ireland and UK, a lwb Trooper can tow 3500ks, a swb is 3200kg, from memory.
Anything weighting over 750kg must have braked. These will be "over-run" type. These weight limits includes the weight of the trailer itself.
Electric power brakes and goose-neck trailers non existent here.
Anyway, the gist of my argument is this, standard disks and pads are perfectly capable up to 3500kg (approx 6000kg train weight) as long as your over-run trailer brakes are working correctly. And you're sensible!
It might be 3500Kg I'm not sure, I don't tow trailers. Ben will be able to help with this. However, yes, we do have strict trailer regulations. @@nigelmchugh5541
