Before anyone uploads a "How to..." video they should be made to watch one of your videos to see the way it should be done. This is an excellent job, thank you so much.

Just did the front pads and rotors watching this on my Samsung Smartphone. This was the first time I've ever done brakes in a car. The instructions were perfect. Just taking your time and having the right tools makes all the difference. And of course your help. Thanks for this wonderfully easy to follow video.

I've just done this job and found the video useful. However, I want to add a couple of points. The first is that the caliper bolts are 12mm, not 13mm. The second is that the OP did not fit anti-squeal shims, as are provided for instance by Mintex. These can be left out, but most recommend they are fitted. They just clip on to the back of the pads, preferably with a smear of copper ease or brake grease. My main problem was that one of the 12mm bolt heads was rounded. I removed the caliper and carrier together, cut the head off, separated the two components, and the stub unscrewed easily. You get new bolts with the Mintex kit. My tip is to use deep hex 6 point sockets rather than bix-hex 12 point sockets. Make sure you clean the bolt head and engage the socket fully, Both the 15mm and 12mm bolts can be quite tight and using the hex sockets will work better if the heads aren't perfect. It may also be worth putting a dab of anti-rust liquid followed by paint on the brake hose ferrules, as corroded ferrules often feature in MOT advisories.

Well, I did the front brake pads and rotor replacement just as you instructed and it when very well. No real issues. I did find that it was a little easier if I turned the wheels out to give better access, but it could be done without this modification. Thanks for your help! Next month I doing the rear brakes and I'll be sure to review your video before tackling that project.

Yes, good idea to turn the wheel before jacking, thanks for the comment. The only real issue with the rears is winding back the piston, remember one is left hand and the other is right hand thread. Winders can be purchased.

thank you very much for this. I have just changed my front discs and pads easy which i would have never even of attempted if you hadn't taken the time to post this detailed vid. nice one. I owe you one buddy.

When installing new pads they should move quite easily and reinstalled by hand not by hammering them. If they don't move easily then you're gonna have an uneven wear and reduced braking power.

Good point, but the hammer use was quite gentle. Graham

use a pad and a G Clamp to push the piston back, from an ex jag tech.

Thanks for the comment. There should not be any problems, the only bit to slow me down was removing the old disc. But since I was replacing it, a hammer and just keep hitting it from the inside while turning it around freed it. Let me know how you get on. Thanks Graham

Awesome - Thank you Sir! Very good & informative! > In place of the wooden blocks or Safety Stands, just place the removed wheel under the car, Place the wheel half-way under, to ensure that the metal (and not just rubber) is under the car body! Handy if a flat tire on the side of the road! Thanks for explaining everything so well! :-)

Hi great instructional video very helpful, Im going to attempt this on my xj 2.7d should be the same ? but what about rear discs and pads is it easier ? im worried about electronic park brake ?
@dalbhraddan10 жыл бұрын
Hi I have just done a video on the rear brakes of the X-Type, it should be on by the middle of the week and it is broadly the same as the fronts. The X-Type does not have an park electronic brake, but was a little more tricky due to having to wind back the calliper piston. I'll get it onto You-Tube as soon as possible. Thanks for the contact.

NO NO NO!!!! The x-type brake caliper has a twisting piston! You pry it back, like you showed here, and it misses it up! LOOK IT UP

YES, YES,YES The front DOES NOT have a twisting piston, that is on the rear, it is part of the handbrake mechanism. YOU LOOK IT UP!
@MagnumOpusSRT8 жыл бұрын
+dalbhraddan is right. Only the rear Pistons rotate as they are applied due to the parking brake. Front pistons retract straight in.

Yep have to be careful with that Push back its not that easy be very careful I got stuck there heated the area then it went lots of corrosion especially if the pads were really worn and lots of moisture got in there.
