Well I finally had the time to replace the pads on my Logan, took off the front wheels and then realized I didn't have a hex 7mm tool :D... So wheels back on and went to the store, bought a 7mm Allan key and cut that with a grinding disk so it would fit into a 7mm socket. It did the job though :D. I used the 28Nm from the comments and also pushed the brake-piston back to avoid messing with the brake fluid. The brakes work fine but have to 'bed in' now. Many thanks for the video, it helped me a lot. Cheers

Loved the video! Really useful for my first brake pad replacement on my Sandero. I have a question about the torque specs for the guide pin bolts. I've found a Dacia Duster workshop manual, and the torque specs for its guide pin bolts are 34 N.m. Would it be alright to set them to those specs? Since the Sandero is very similar to the Duster. Thanks again!

@CoatsandGaiters

I think you can in theory and probably be fine but technically opening the bleed nipple is safer as your maintaining the correct fluid flow direction and not reversing its normal path.

No! If your car has ABS you could potentially backflow rusty, dirty brake fluid the the ABS module which is between the master cylinder reservoir and the calliper. This could be very costly. Open the bleed nipple and purge the old fluid, then top up. Brake fluid is cheap so why not just flush and bleed?

Slide Bolts dont normally need to be very tight. For example on the Renault Laguna the Guide Bolts are only 7Nm so basically hand tight. They don't hold the caliper on only allow the caliper to slide on the two bolts like rails.

I didn't bleed the brakes because I couldn't get the bleed nipple open when I rewound the piston back in, is this absolutely necessary to bleed the displaced brake fluid? Or can this be left out. If this step was skipped what are the implications? Thanks in advance
@CoatsandGaiters
4 жыл бұрын
Ki Ka hi you should be ok as long as air has entered the pipe work. If you wound the piston back in forcing the fluid back into the reservoir without allowing air in then it should be ok. Technically the way I did it was the way the manufacturer advices. If air entered the pipeline the danger is air is compressible and so your brakes could be non existent or spongy which is dangerous. For future if you spray the bleed nipple with PlusGas penetrating fluid and work the nipple gently back and fourth it should come undone. Don’t snap it though or your have to drill the remains out of the Caliper. They are hollow so somewhat weak.

@CoatsandGaiters
4 жыл бұрын
@@kika6718 Hi they are fiddly I have to say. I use a pair of pliers to bend them while pushing. If you persevere your get the hang of them. They are important really as they keep the pads away from the disc preventing unnecessary rubbing of the brake pad. Also you might get more clunking and general movement of the pad and caliper instead of them being as one like they should be. Make sure the holes are clear of any debris with maybe a small drill bit used with your fingers. Whatever you do don't snap the bit in the hole, hence I say fingers. Sometimes if you can get one person to hold the pin in position with the pliers and then you tap gently with a small hammer to get the pin into place.
