Thank you so much, I was battling with the rear and didn't realise there was a specialist tool needed. I made one up and it worked perfectly.

Tried my rear discs and pads before seeing this and from instructions that come with them from Vlovo, they say " lift up handbrake and slacken handrake cable underneath " plus piston must be "pushed back not rotated" ..how the bloody hell do you you lift the hand brake gaiter? ..so couldn do that oporation ..never ever had to faff with a hanbreak when changing pads/ discs on a car before just take lid off of reservoir and simply push pistonns back ..tried this but piston wouldt move no matter how much pressure i forced it with ...is that related to not being able to slaken the handbreak cable?.

Is this the model with hill start assist? Does that have any bearing on how you do this job? Any other considerations such as the handbrake adjustment? Thanks

May I ask you how thick the discs were? Mines are like 0,9/1mm worn on each side, so a total of 1,8/2mm per disc, but it feels so early to change discs already with 70.000km.

I have yet to measure the thickness of a brake disc at all. What’s the allowed thickness for them? If they aren’t otherwise deteriorated and don’t have a lip on them I wouldn’t be concerned about leaving them on.

Thanks for this video ! What do you use to clean or lubricate the piston (@4'30) ? Wd40 ?
@IAMASPANNER
2 жыл бұрын
You’re welcome! I do use WD40 however it is advised to use brake fluid to lubricate the piston rather than a lubricant such as WD40 because apparently the WD40 can damage the seals. I have no personal experience of damaged piston seals so I can’t say for sure, I’ve always used WD40.

WD40 is not grease, in fact it flush grease and leave parts clean, but dry. Again, only brake grease should be used.

Do you need copper grease for that, or is any other heat resistant grease good enough too? I picked up some white heat resistant grease from my local carparts store telling me that this would do too
@panchnl
Жыл бұрын
Sounds you like got ceramic grease, which is even better. It has better heat resistance than copper grease and doesn't contain any metals or silicons. Mechanics have been moving away from copper grease because brake systems have become more advanced and sensitive. Ceramic grease doesn't dry up, so the pads can move freely for even wear and it's also non-conductive for safe use with modern electronics.

I don’t blame you, brakes were one of the last things I touched as an amateur but once you know the basics it’s not so bad. Pads and discs are easy enough on most cars but there can be complications to look out for.

Just a typical brake rewind tool kit, if the piston doesn’t require winding at the same time you can use a G clamp.

Never use copper grease on brake system! Only ceramic grease should be used, or any dedicated for brakes. Also, shouldn’t there be anti rattle shims at rear?
@IAMASPANNER

Why does everyone seem to have turned on copper grease this year? I think the shims depends on the manufacturer of the replacements parts as far as I have seen.
