Thank you so much, I was battling with the rear and didn't realise there was a specialist tool needed. I made one up and it worked perfectly.

Would a G clamp work?

Did a session with you in Cardiff on sunday, think we all had some pretty hectic traffic to deal with 🤣

Awesome! 16 is a lot of karts on that small track 😂 video is uploading now, should be up later tonight. You’ll have to let me know which karts were you on the video. I’ll be back down to do Bristol at some point 👍

Is this the model with hill start assist? Does that have any bearing on how you do this job? Any other considerations such as the handbrake adjustment? Thanks

Tried my rear discs and pads before seeing this and from instructions that come with them from Vlovo, they say " lift up handbrake and slacken handrake cable underneath " plus piston must be "pushed back not rotated" ..how the bloody hell do you you lift the hand brake gaiter? ..so couldn do that oporation ..never ever had to faff with a hanbreak when changing pads/ discs on a car before just take lid off of reservoir and simply push pistonns back ..tried this but piston wouldt move no matter how much pressure i forced it with ...is that related to not being able to slaken the handbreak cable?.

Thanks for this video ! What do you use to clean or lubricate the piston (@4'30) ? Wd40 ?

@IAMASPANNER 2 жыл бұрын

You’re welcome! I do use WD40 however it is advised to use brake fluid to lubricate the piston rather than a lubricant such as WD40 because apparently the WD40 can damage the seals. I have no personal experience of damaged piston seals so I can’t say for sure, I’ve always used WD40.

@Davidoff8503 8 ай бұрын

WD40 is not grease, in fact it flush grease and leave parts clean, but dry. Again, only brake grease should be used.

May I ask you how thick the discs were? Mines are like 0,9/1mm worn on each side, so a total of 1,8/2mm per disc, but it feels so early to change discs already with 70.000km.

@IAMASPANNER Жыл бұрын

I have yet to measure the thickness of a brake disc at all. What’s the allowed thickness for them? If they aren’t otherwise deteriorated and don’t have a lip on them I wouldn’t be concerned about leaving them on.

Do you need copper grease for that, or is any other heat resistant grease good enough too? I picked up some white heat resistant grease from my local carparts store telling me that this would do too

@panchnl 11 ай бұрын

Sounds you like got ceramic grease, which is even better. It has better heat resistance than copper grease and doesn't contain any metals or silicons. Mechanics have been moving away from copper grease because brake systems have become more advanced and sensitive. Ceramic grease doesn't dry up, so the pads can move freely for even wear and it's also non-conductive for safe use with modern electronics.

Hei, great work, something different for front wheels?

@IAMASPANNER 2 жыл бұрын

It won’t be too different just larger and the retaining clips might be different. Hope you get sorted!

do I need to connect the scanner after changing all 8 brake pads ? the dealership told me that a scanner fee would apply. Volvo V40 T4 R-Design 2.0 2019

@IAMASPANNER Жыл бұрын

Shouldn’t do. There’s no electric handbrake to wind back and no pad wear indicator wiring.

I have a volvo v40 from 2018. I heard you can not change the breakpads at home because of the electrical handbreak or some other thing that you need a computer for. Is it true?

hei, thanks for excellent video, at 05:15 you use this head of piston windback tool, what size is it? pin spacing and pin size?

@IAMASPANNER 2 жыл бұрын

Thank you, it's part of a windback kit which has loads of different sizes. A bit like this: www.eurocarparts.com/p/pagid-46pc-universal-caliper-wind-back-tool-set-538771241

There are two things I'm not confident touching on my car, steering and brakes 😅 for those I always take it to a pro

@IAMASPANNER 2 жыл бұрын

I don’t blame you, brakes were one of the last things I touched as an amateur but once you know the basics it’s not so bad. Pads and discs are easy enough on most cars but there can be complications to look out for.

@jakejohn3568 11 ай бұрын

Pads and disks are easy enough, however I tend to leave the fluid change to the pros

What is that tool used to push pistol in called ?

@digitalray2760 2 жыл бұрын

Caliper piston rewind tool. Not sure what size / dimensions this guy is using though.

@IAMASPANNER 2 жыл бұрын

Just a typical brake rewind tool kit, if the piston doesn’t require winding at the same time you can use a G clamp.

@Davidoff8503 8 ай бұрын

Never use copper grease on brake system! Only ceramic grease should be used, or any dedicated for brakes. Also, shouldn’t there be anti rattle shims at rear?

@IAMASPANNER 7 ай бұрын

Why does everyone seem to have turned on copper grease this year? I think the shims depends on the manufacturer of the replacements parts as far as I have seen.
