Very informative video. Because my brake pads are weared and my brake cylinder gets stuck in winter i have to lube inside of brake cylinder and then bleech it YACKS. I am bit scared that my rear brakes become too strong compared to front brakes and that i have to also lube my front brake cylinders.

Great video. Very informative. Just one question. Is there a specific size for the rewind tool? I have got to do my brakes soon so will be needing to buy the tool.
@RossPerryProductions4 жыл бұрын
Hi there, thanks for your question, I would suggest if you are going to buy the tool get one of the many kits out there on the market. The kit I use has all the sizes I have ever needed. Unfortunately I cannot remember the exact one I used on the Astra, however it would have been one of the popular ones found in the kit. Sorry I cannot be of more help. Ross

Do you have to bleed the break system when just changing the pads same exact car?
@RossPerryProductions5 жыл бұрын
Hi there, no not at all if you are happy with how they perform and know the fluid is good then you can just replace the pads. I tend to do it anyway whilst I have the wheel off, I always check everything else is good under there too.

@@RossPerryProductions Replaced the pads (rear disk brakes) but the main pistons were a pain in the arse to push back even with a tool made to do just that. This was on both sides btw. Now I noticed that my parking brake does not work at all. I adjusted it to 7 clicks, and still the car rolls even in neutral. Before I changed the pads, parking brake was already hardly holding. Now it just wont hold at all. I am wondering what your advice would be to check first. If it is the parking brake cable that needs replacing, how would I go about trouble shooting it? Or if you think it may be the main pistons gone bad, does that also affect the handbrake? Thanks Ross!

Nice Ross am a mchanic but been retired now for a while but been doing the brakes on a 2006 Astra SXI 1.6 and beleave me this vehicle dose a lot of mileage and she dose not understand about regular maintenace rear pads were none existant but I forgot your needed a rewind tool on the piston so got one only problem was don't know why but the rear offside wheel refused to come off after we removed all the wheel nuts had to beat the shit out of it with the mallet tryed not to damage the alloy but had to beat it off with a lump hammer in the end never had a uni puller available at the time but you know a women they want everything doing yesterday anyhow it was that bad one of the pads had disintigrated completely caliper against disc so you can imagine the state of the disc anyway told her you need new discs and pads she said just fit the pads I'll get new discs later I arned her pads will not give you brake force on the discs they need replacing before you do any more long distance runs. So anyways next week she told me I have the discs will you fit them I Said yes so long as you have got another set of pads to fit with them. Anyway job done but trying to explain machanics to a woman DON'T TRY! :-D

@RossPerryProductions4 жыл бұрын
Hi there G-clamps are always fine for the front but a lot of cars need the tool to turn back the rear piston due to the hand brake mechanism, you can get the kits pretty cheap from ebay :). I hope this helps. Regards Ross

A wheel laying under the car is no substitute for axle stands. And no torque wrench in sight. Otherwise, the vid was useful, thank you
@RossPerryProductions4 жыл бұрын
Hi Graham, I make the videos so that anyone with a basic tool box (including those that come with the car) can undertake the job. If I made them with a trolley jack, jack stands, and a torque wrench (which obviously I have) people would have to go out and spend more than a mechanic to do the job. Thanks for your comment.

Crikey mate, a scissor jack is an emergency only lifter, you should never work under a car that's held up by just that flimsy little thing, it's footprint is just not big enough to be reliable enough that a little too much heft off centre is going to have it over. I believe the most basic tools anyone doing their own work should be considering is a trolley jack or stands, minimum.
