Nice vid. I'm steeling myself to do the pads on my 57 C-Max for the first time. It's identical to the Focus in the video. Thanks for boosting my confidence!

The most important part to get clean is the hub where the disc sits, you should get that area spotless and get all the rust off as just a tiny bit of rust will make the disc wobble and it will be worse than before.

Wow, what a great camera angles showing everything in crispy clear details and giving a brief overview of the whole process makes is even better. Keep making great videos like this 👍

Nice job mate. Worth taking the sliders out and giving them a clean then grease up with some silicon grease.

Nice instructional my man. Just about to replace discs and pads on a C-Max....this is great help.

Very well explained will be doing mine very soon many thanks

I am about to do this on my 2010 Transit Connect, cheers for the video.

Great job, mate! Camera angles are most useful.

This was a different video,worth watching though,top work fella.

Cracking job fella. Learnt a lot in this video

Awesome mate ! so long since i did something like this.. almost 20 years since .... :P very good video!

That was very informative 👍

superb ,hope my mechanic watches this

good one m8 that was a welcome brake for vw heaven first class

Good video well executed

great video! how much torque do you use on the different bolts?

Great video. Im changing mine next week 🤞

Torque to tighten the rear brakes 13mm? Tq to tighten for the sway bars? (2014 focus st)

Nice video. I could probably do this myself on my focus and save some money. Wish I had a driveway though ha.

Good video - Car repair taught by a guy with a classy English accent. Couldn't be too much better. Well - maybe if I could have talked someone else into doing my Focus brakes but,.....

very well made your video. Thks

Can you remove the spring before the two bolts? Looking at painting my callipers on the car without taking them off aha

Hello....which brand of rear discs and pads do you recommend for a C-max 2014 120kw...for normal driving, but the pads that are not too hard....thanks for the info

I like doing this and keeping it standard.. No grease, no copperslip. Only sliders lubed. Still works for me with 47 years experience

There’s quite a lot of rust underneath for such a new car imo, great video as always btw

Hi,if your doing front and back discs and pads do you pump brake pedal after you've done the front or when you've done all four?very helpful video thanks.

Thx bro ❤️

I love coated brake discs! 😍

Thanks for showing us. i liked idea of the piston suppress tool did you buy or make ? its nice that ford are actually thinking things through ,like the hole in rear brake caliper to get the socket through,its a pity the made a right hash of the bonnet catch.I was thinking of putting clips through like they have for rally cars but theres no way to anchor them theirs hardly any metal on inner wing .gonna have to think about this ! cos i dont want to get caught out with cable broke,needs sorting beforehand .Might make a vidio of it for my channel. Nicely done there just did all new suspension and brakes at front of mine yesterday ,its good when you can save yourself some money from rip of garages .Take care Ant from sunny Wales.

Cheers bro 👌

I bought the tool for my 2010 Mondeo but it didn't fit the C Max, the little dowels were too big and too far apart, flipping typical, so I just filed one of the dowels to fit one of the piston holes the other dowel resting on the outer edge, didn't bother with the pad shaped plate that was part of the tool, just used a bit muscle power while twisting and it eventually got the piston back in. If that doesn't work that can put some pressure on the piston and twist the piston back in with some grips, bit rough like!

Can I ask what rewind tool you used? Got mine all stripped today just to find my rewind tool didn't fit.......

Hello, I have a small question ! I hope you can answer it please. Recently i have installed new break pads in my car both front and back. After installing the breakpads my car breaks are making squelling sound . Same sound like when break pads reach to wear limit and need to replace. Since I have new break pads what should i do? And if i put my car on jack !!! How free wheel should rotate with the hand? Do breaks drum get hot if yes how much ? Thank you in advance.

Dude I'm new to your channel and fully subbed now no offence intended but you like Jeremy Clarkson love child lol keep up the good work

This maybe a silly question but some caliper tools have left and right compression screws. Does this apply to the Focus brakes?

I've just done the same job. Did you need to adjust your handbrake after this work?? My handbrake runs up to 10 clicks until it brakes, after changing rear brake discs and pads.

I was going to do this myself , but it actually worked out cheaper taking it to the garage for them to do it? How come?

How can I adjust the Handbrake ? I put new pads on but the Handbrake pulls up 7 clicks , whereas I’m used to 3/4max clicks

Need to Do anything about the handbrake cable? Take it the handbrake isn’t applied when performing this?

I thought you not meant to jack the sill up with a actual jack and that only for them crappy emergency ones

Nice video fella,it's worth using a bit of penetrating oil on the bolts to make them a bit easier to move,otherwise spot on

What year was that focus pal?

Front ones??

That job was spot on. Did you lubricate the caliper bolts? It is best to use lithium grease on them. Copper grease can be used which is better than nothing. You do resemble a young Jeremy Clarkson. You just need to work on the Yorkshire accent (where are you from?). I'm considering a Mk4 Golf as my next project car and your Golf videos will be useful to me should I get one.

why did you not silcone the pins? did you forget?

I guess you need that special tool to compress the caliper! Regular C Clamp won’t do it for me!

Where ya from fella!!!

Brakes will be shit until they bed in. You can watch videos on how to do it or just drive careful for the first 200 miles.

First!

Them discs didn’t need cleaning there painted not greased

I just use a c clamp and old brake pad to wind it back

you need to give your father in law a stern word putting them shite tyres on a ST
