Thank you, this vid helped me a lot! An improvement/idea: when you take of the wheel, loosen the screws of the disk while someone else is pushing the brakes. I damaged the screws because they where to stuck and the disk was always spinning. I had to drill them out. They are not so important because the wheel is holding the disc at his place. It's just when you have to replace a wheel, the disc will be loose.
I don't have the tool here, forgot it at my parents place. I think I'm gonna try to use some needle nose pliers to wind back the pistons, I've done it a few times hopefully it's not too stuck
When you use axle stands on one side of the car I understand you can't use the handbrake as pushing back the calliper pistons can cause damage, So is it safe to use chocks on each of the wheels that are grounded with the car put into reverse gear? Because the only option I have seen is to use 4 axle stands which seems a bit excessive for changing just the rear brakes.
Great vid Gorge, whats the tool you used to break off the nuts of the Caliper Carrier? and do you know where I can you buy it from including the extension bars ?
George need some help brother, with your video I managed to get to the brake rotor screws but those things are siezed in really tight, Philips don't seem to work well, any tips?
@@GicaPhp Hi George.. Me again. Doing the same job again but this time I am away from home and dont have my piston press tool with me. The piston seems free but I just cant push it in quite far enough. Its like 3 or 4mm left.... I had to use mole grips... And an improvised bicycle bottom bracket tool... Any thoughts on why I cant wind it in the last bit?? Many thanks
Hello George, how did u took out the brake fluid from the reservoir and how much ? I'm planning to use a brand new syringe, and after i'm done put the same fluid from the syringe back
My opinion is if you drive mainly in the city, i would choose petrol as the diesel will clog and egr, turbo, dpf issue will appear and they are not cheap to fix.
Hi just changed my pads and the car is breaking slightly without I push the breaks. I think I messe up with the alignment of the break pad pin. How can I check this?
@@tiago10alves10 if the boot is split, and rust spots have developed on cylinder, then you can try to take it out but not completely, clean it with a rough rug and wd40 and then push it back gently. Make sure you have also clean the rust in the caliper carrier and piston is align like in the video to match pads dowels, so you can fit the pads with minimum or no effort at all. If none of this will solve the issue, it is time for a new caliper.
those 2 screws are not phillips the are JIS (JAPANESE INDUSTRIAL STANDARD i believe ) different to phillips and you could destroy them trying to get them out resulting in you drilling them out, not a criticism terrific video
