nice video, very nicely explained, but the only thing you forgot was to mention to pump the brakes before you drive off, since theres slack in the piston now. might be a scary moment for those who dont know.

Just did my own replacement based off your video and it went great. Almost easier than changing oil. Thanks a lot man.

Good video, I don't know about the regular Fiesta but with the ST version you need to make sure to lube up the slider pins, especially for the rears. I think I could tell one of the slider pins wasn't moving as easy as the other when he pressed on them in the video.

Great angle and great lighting. I was very skeptical at first with the lighting, wondering why the light was facing you from behind the wheel. Then the camera angle changed with the lighting against the bolt you were removing. Great video.

Very good video, especially because it's in HD. Dun breaks before but never did it on a Ford Fiesta, on my girlfriend's car. Especially because so many applications are so different from one another just wanted a good Refresher on how it's done on this particular model. I really appreciate it and thank you for this video you saved the day! :)

I like how you never opened bleed valve when you pushed pistons back I have done this for years and you are the first guy who does the same as I broke a rusty bleed valve off years ago.Just going to do my daughters fiesta the same job thanks for the demo.👍

@MrEliaspalacios6 3 жыл бұрын

That's very interesting as I saw another video where they did this and I have never heard of anyone doing that. I think it just makes I easier to push the pads back but it isn't necessary. If you see this comment can you let me know if you used a floor jack or a hoist. Thanks in advance.

Thanks Ry. I've done many brakes, but before I ran out to the garage and did the wifes Fiesta, I figured I'd take a peek at this setup first. Man, talk about easy. I see you used the Raybestos setup also. Curious how yours are working vs. OE now after some miles.

@Rythecarguy 8 жыл бұрын

I have to say they are great. We have not had any transfer of material or any noise at all. To be fair though we probably put 10 miles a week on that car. I have 4 vehicles now and that one barely gets used.

To do this properly, you need to use a torque wrench and tighten to the spec - typically, 45 lbs-ft for the bolts securing the bracket to the knuckle.

It's just a personal preference. The new shims would work just fine.

@conundrumconundrum5589 7 жыл бұрын

Slide pens should be removed and lubed. Ford has used some lubrication in the past that turns to mud and might be responsible for some of you problems. It just does not last long. Additionally, the hardware/brake pad brackets/clips should be replaced with every brake job. They too can be problematic. However, many pad makers do not include the hardware and it must be ordered separately.

Take a look around 4:48 when I hold the caliper. The slide pins in this car are actually booted and self contained. The bolt you put in just holds it in place. The slide pins do not appear to be serviceable.

Why did you not mention anything about bleeding the brake lines until the very end of the video? Why do you even need to bleed the brake line? Can't you just loosen the reservoir cap and let the fluid get pushed back up when you compress the piston?

@FyreSturmOfficial 5 жыл бұрын

How could anyone dislike this video? Guess it shows you always some ungrateful people out there. The camera angles were excellent. The only thing i might do differently is not use any 12-pt sockets or wrenches on bolt heads, especially under the car. I live in rust belt and 6-pt is just extra insurance to keep from rounding off stubborn bolts and nuts. I was glad to learn about the pulsating rotor issue, like you I decided its just better to replace the rotors rather than resurface.
