Fair play for doing the video but there is no need to undo the carrier bolts , undo the top 13 mm bolt completely and loosen the one at the bottom then you can get the caliper to tip back out and then you can slide the piston back with a g clamp, only take the carrier off if you need to fix the caliper

Don't use a crow bar. One slip and your seal is buggered. £18 for a wind back tool or B&Q G clamp

I use a silicone gun to push back the piston, simple and everyone has one!

Sliders bolt is easy. Did you undo the fluid cap to help with pushing the piston back I normally do

I have never seen brake pads being put in with a crowbar and a spanner leverage on a ratchet and if that is a snap on ratchet your lifetime guarantee will be void

Sorry, first off, open the fluid cap, on the engine... you should NEVER let the calliper 'dangle' use a bungy to support it PLUS, when I change pads' I always use a silicone gun... to push back the piston, simple and no damage done!

If you have done your brakes every time yourself ,then you've been doing it wrong every time. Please don't make videos to show others before you learn the job safely. Sorry mate ,I've been doing brakes for 34 years and your video is how NOT to do it. Incorrect tools
