Just a side note, electronic hand brake version you can just push the piston back in. MANUAL handbrake you have to wind them back👌

Thank you for this clear and concise explanation video. I had my phone playing it right next to my car as I did the discs and pads, front and back today. £300 is a bargain compared to dealer prices 🙂

I have chamged my rear discs pads watching your video, flawless explanation. Thank you so so much.

Excellent video. Thank you for making it so easy to watch. All the details were in there, including socket sizes. Brilliant.

Excellent video for doing this job. Thanks for showing me how! Years ago I used to do all my own maintenance but I was lucky to have company vehicles so I got out of the habit. Saved a small fortune after Ford replaced the offside rear disc due to uneven wear under warranty but the fault returned. Just worked out fine on my '20 mk 3 Kuga. For others with the same model the parking brake release is slightly different in that you turn on the ignition, press the accelerator, press down on the park brake switch - this gives a message 'press brake pedal to release brakes' and all done! Once done, just turn on ignition and pull up park brake switch and it resets.

Hey William, Love your video's helped me and so many others so much. Just wanted to say thanks and keep it up.

Very useful video changed my back brakes yesterday, if anyone is interested the maintenance mode procedure works on 2018 car with auto gearbox , the 316mm dia discs are available from Euro spares most online sites will try to sell you 280mm dia. I tried to push the pistons back but no luck needed a wind back tool, only £10 but being cheap you could do with 3 hands.

Thanks for sharing. I didn't know the service sequence and searched here before I replace my back pads.👍

Thank you for sharing, just replaced both rear disks and pads and didn't know there was a sequence to put it into service mode. Keep up the good work👍

Excellent guide thank you - only addition is that you can't get maintenance mode unless you start with the brake off (possibly that's obvious to others 🙂)

A big help from that video FANTASTIC

Thank´s for the instructions. I have ordered material and will try to do it by myself.

Great help All went to plan as the video. Couple of comments - bracket bolts very tight due to loctite. Did apply loctite to bracket bolts and caliper sliding bolts on reassembly

Top man this was just what I needed to help with my brakes👍💪💪

Great video. Perhaps worth mentioning that discs usually come with an oily coating which should be removed with brake cleaner.

Good video William.

The brembo brakes are fitted on high spec kuga. The st versions. I think the models below the st might have the wind back brakes

Are these definitely an Allen key? A few places state they're torx. The Allen key obviously fits but you're in danger of rounding them and that's a world of pain

Brilliant video!!!

I have always done brakes on my motorbike never do on car😁 I feel very confident to do as I was quotes £1460 for front and rear disc and pads in Pentagon Ford 😱 They changed my rear disc and pads last year for £220 and this year they said have to be done!! After 15k miles 🤔 what a rip off!!!!!!

SUPER. Très bonne explication. Merci à vous.

For anyone watching Parking Brake needs to be in the Off Position before starting the Service Positions Process and you don't need a wind back tool as the Piston is a Push Conventional Job whilst in Service Mode 👊

Another top video, thank you! Just a quick question, how can i tell if the rear pistons can be pushed back or will need to be wound back before i start the job? Its got electronic hand brake

Super information,Thank you

One thing I would ask before attempting this pad replacement procedure is, where do you position the axle stands front and rear

Going to be doing mine shortly great video one question once in maintenance mode do you switch the ignition off? From the video seems its left on when exiting the car

The piston, how do i know if it needs to be turned to push in? have tried clockwise with pliers but just turns or do i just need to do under pressure.

Thanks for the video, I have never done my brakes before but this video has given me the confidence to give it a go. Is there no bleeding or anything required after the change ? I have the same car in the same colour 😁

Nice work William great video, I shall be doing mine soon after being quoted £500 from Ford LOL

Good video William I am surprised they aren’t wind back calipers most of the Fords j had where apart from the escort

Good video but it's best not to use copper slip on the caliper bolts and use a high melting point grease instead.

Thank you

Will this work on a 70 plate s line. I've been told it needs to be plugged in to wind the caliper back.

I followed the steps I can hear the brake motors winding in but no lights come on to say maintenance mode

I've got to save the Year Kuga and I had to wind the piston back in I disconnected electronic motor to be on the safe

Great vid, I’m confused how did you get the piston back using your method as I thought rears are wind back?😂

how much did discs and pads cost

So the electric handbrake makes the job no more difficult??

Hi what size hex to use open the bolt on caliper?

Will, great video. I missed the brand of discs and pads??

Thought all fords needed wind back tool to push in piston

How long would this typically take to do?

Was there torque settings on the calipers? thx

Ford wanted 800 quid to do all four discs. Not sure thats going to happen........

How about fitting ANTI SQUEAL SHIMS to the sticky back of the pads? Exactly as designed to be.... Or maybe didn't teach you so well on your apprenticeship?

Thank you
