In this video I change the front disc and brake pads on our Vauxhall Vectra C. The brake sensor wear indicator is only located on one wheel, the front left (UK passenger side) This model also had a different brake pad retaining clip, different from the standard wire clips I am used to seeing.

Spot on Martin. I use normal lithium grease for the caliper pins. I normally use white grease to keep rust at bay on stuff that gets exposed to the elements. It should work just as well on those caliper pins. You forgot to mention that the pads will need to be bedded in so tell Sharon to be gentle on the brakes for the first couple of hundred miles or so. Don't forget to operate the brake pedal once you've done the job to avoid a brown trouser moment when you set off. The last pad replacement I did was on the BMW and the pads have already bedded in. I've got to do the same job on a 2016 Ford Fiesta. You don't have to change the discs every single time but the discs on the Vectra definitely needed changing. The last disc change I did was on the Citroen. Something else to note is that if the discs are being changed then the pads must be replaced also regardless of their condition.

Ah yes, the lovely ATE brakes of the Vectra! Well maintained and they last forever (not pads and disks, those are consumables, but everything else). There´s just one thing, though I guess that applies to other brake systems as well - never change the pads without changing the disks or having them turned! My first Vectra had old disks with reasonably new pads when I bought it and required f***loads of force on the pedal, the grooves in the disks glassed the pads (guess who was in a for big surprise when the new brakes where mounted!) Even better - the disks had rusted to the hubs so well, I had to use a cutting disk to slice the centers to break the separated pieces loose. If only the previous owner/mechanic had used copper paste for such applications! I never had any issue getting off the disks or rims (steel for the winter tires) on my cars.

Them caliper hold back clips are easier to remove and install than the wire ones on the Siggy all you need to do is push on the centre where your thumb is towards the front of the vehicle and the 2 "L" shaped hooks will come out of the holes then flick them out and to install them you just offer the 2 wings against the caliper carrier and push the retainer forward and the 2 "L" shaped hooks will pop in the holes.

Great how2, I’m not criticising just a tip for anybody who does this job on there Vectra-C, the rubber guilds that the slider pin slide into can swell up so the pins don’t slide correctly giving you uneven brake wear because of sticking pins, (even though you greased them) What you do is take the 2 rubbers guilds out the Caliper and you’ll see the holes are all rusty, a wire Spiral brush in a drill works wonders to clean them, Then put some Silicone grease on when Reassembling it,

I would clamp ff the hose, remove the banjo bolt and hold an air line over the hole to pop the piston. That's only if you have a compressor. failing that, you might be able to get a small punch in the hole and tap the back of the piston to free it off.

Im surprised you used the old sensor. Normally the light comes on when it’s worn through. So the light would be still on after you replaced the disks and pads....
@davidhumpherson4904
@davidhumpherson4904 4 жыл бұрын
The sensor is just a metal pad that earth's on the disk making a circuit for current to flow for the warning light. The downside of not replacing it is that next time because of the "sensor" being scuffed it allows the pads to wear a little bit more before the warning light comes on. The light will go out with thick new pads regardless of the sensors condition because there is no path to earth/ground to light the warning bulb.
@Roverturbo
@Roverturbo 4 жыл бұрын
David Humpherson I believe your incorrect there. It used to be like that on older 1 wire systems. Newer cars use a two wire system that wears through and breaks the connection, throwing the light. I’m a little confused and maybe Martin can confirm the details? I.e the light was on and now it’s off? I work in a garage and the wear sensor has to always be replaced.

Just went out to my workshop, the disks of my last brake job are still sitting in the junk pile. Left side 23.6mm, right side 23.75mm, new those had 25mm, so the wear difference is over 10% (between 1.25 and 1.4mm). Left side was missing the small index screw, so its unused and therefore dirty hole distinguished it from the right disk.

Ali, Pushing a piston in by hand is far less pressure that when you apply foot pressure and the servo pushes out bud. Its a myth about removing the cap. I have not seen any guaranteed professional state that. You'll find loads of people in forums say that it needs to be removed but no authority has explained why. I have done it both ways and experienced no difference in piston pressure in pushing the piston back in.

You really should not be using copper slip it dries out and causes the pads to stick . I always use ceratec with no problems .

Not the case, It doesn't dry out. I've seen it, years old. Do think before making a statement like that bud. I bet you have never seen it dry out, I know I haven't in the 40 + years I've been working on cars.

I just wonder why people need to criticize people they don't know anything about. I personally don't do it. I don't know what you are referring to bud. I answer hundreds of comments most days.
