So So helpful at the moment as need to do the same job an my Astra. Well impressed with your work ethic and clarity of video / explanations. I think you have also solved my problem after reading your reply to jimmybobbikini previously. If I posted my problem HERE would you be able to advise comment (or can I contact direct) ? I intend to be replacing pads but feel the "problem" that caused their demise will still be evident. More if you willing to listen / advise ? Either way IF I lived near to your garage I would be happy to let you work on my ageing steed. 🤠

Caliper carrier torque setting is 100Nm with thread lock. Please note that torque settings should be obtained from your own source.

Hi, why no mention of adjusting the handbrake? Surely with the piston fully wound back into the caliper and the new full thickness disc and pads, the auto adjust mechanism would need resetting too?

@DropTheBoxOfficial 9 ай бұрын

The self adjust mechanism is integrated within the caliper. When you push&wind the caliper back you are resetting this mechanism. When the footbrake/handbrake is applied this system will automatically adjust to suit the pads and discs. The only time you would need to adjust the handbrake is if your cables have stretched, this is done where the cables connect to the handbrake.(10mm socket required for this adjustment) Thanks 😊

Hi, whats the best way to do it. Pump the peddle and then bleed? Or bleed then pump the foot peddle?

@DropTheBoxOfficial 3 ай бұрын

Two person job for that method. Pump pedal until it's hard, then hold down. Second person open bleed nipple to release pressure, then close nipple and repeat process Until all air is out of the system and you have a good pedal feel .

@@DropTheBoxOfficial thanks for your reply! I meant if I've just changed the disc and pads on the rear, should I pump the peddle so there's no gap between piston and pad then bleed? Or just bleed using the full kit then pump right at the end

Is it absolutely essential to use a wind back tool?

@DropTheBoxOfficial Жыл бұрын

It's probably possible to do with long nose pliers or a home made tool, but for the sake of £15-£20 for a wind back tool is it really worth struggling and possibly causing damage to the caliper?

@db19892k7 Жыл бұрын

Thank you for the response. I have acquired a caliper cube tool and plan to replace pads and discs for my first time tomorrow.

I attempted today. Used windback cube. Ballache. Got the proper tool from a neighbour f***ING lifesaver. Thanks for the video it was of great use.

Use an angle grinder disc removal tool. Perfect fit.
