Thanks for the video mate, the hand brake wire was a bit of a pain to put back in 😂

[@Watersideworkshop123]

Hi there no problem I do lots these videos where I can help people save some money and keep there cars on the road. Cable can be a pain sometimes, just slacken it more at the handbrake for more movement 👍👍👍

Nice one mate, great video 🤩👍

[@Watersideworkshop123]

Glad you enjoyed it 👍

[@johnconnolly2474]

thought you might have used thread lock on the caliper mounting bolts

[@Watersideworkshop123]

Hi there , we do a lot of miles in our cars so break get stripped down probably once a month and cleaned up , never felt the need to use thread lock 👍👍👍

[@zakplayyy]

Great video thanks ! Do you need to do anything different if the parking brake is electronic

[@Watersideworkshop123]

Hi there , no just release it the same way 👍

[@TheRealMystermaN]

i think there is a brake service mode that needs to be activated

[@BIGMANIAN]

What way around do the pads have to be what side do you put the metal tag

[@Watersideworkshop123]

Hi there , just put them back in the way the old ones come out 👍

[@stemillington6514]

Thanks for the video. Need to do mine soon. Just wondering do you not need to bleed the brakes?

[@stemillington6514]

Also does the brake fluid cap not need to be open to release pressure from moving the piston back?

[@Watersideworkshop123]

Hi there , not normally needed to bleed the brakes

[@Watersideworkshop123]

Yes just loosen the fluid cap if the piston needs pushing back a long way .👍
