before work, spray the calipers well with brake cleaning spray, never leave the caliper hanging on the brake hose

Do u think the back of the disc to the hub should have some copper greese?

@gajdanviktor2774 3 ай бұрын

After all this job being done,the front left still having problem seems like caliper don't go back nicely without being a single rust piece in it. Any idea what can be the problem? Caliper can be rebuild?

Possible caliper or abs pump issue

Good call not blathering everything in copper grease 👍 and dead right to mention going easy while locating those calliper sliders your in a world of pain if you cross thread those I’ve only done it once never again.

@lewiscrow7076 Жыл бұрын

Hi mate. Thanks for the tutorial. I assume the rear is the exact same?

@diydaly Жыл бұрын

very similar mate but the pistons need to be wound bak with a special tool, if not it can be done with a g clamp and a screwdriver but ideally you'll need a windback tool

I like to turn my caliper 90 Deg and hang it on the damper coil whilst I change the discs

👍👍 I sometimes do that

@sukhmaidickoff Жыл бұрын

Is it never necessary to open the bleeder screw when pushing back the piston(s)? I assume the fluid has space to "go somewhere", however I have watched my bro-in-law changing brakes - and he always opens the bleeder screw when pushing back the pistons.

@diydaly Жыл бұрын

Yeah some people do like to, personally I never do unless there’s an issue , always take the brake fluid reservoir cap off though

@sukhmaidickoff Жыл бұрын

@@diydaly Thanks for the comment, I will do it the way you describe it, that´s how I´ve done it so far also 🙂

@sod2068 2 жыл бұрын

Hi, I couldn't get the piston to budge on rear disc, first time trying to do this myself. I presume this is because I missed the step of opening the brake reservoir cap first.

@diydaly 2 жыл бұрын

if you are doing the rear brakes you need to wind the piston in with a windback tool.. the rears are different to the front

@@diydaly I never got the caliper off the housing, does handbrake need to be off, after I removed sliding pins why does the caliper seem stuck on still, I have bought a c clamp to rotate back the piston but need to get caliper off first, thanks for your reply.

@diydaly 2 жыл бұрын

@@sod2068 yes mate the handbrake needs to be off, you can use a c clamp but you need to turn it at the same time .. it it wont move at all then your caliper is siezed
