Thanks Ryan! I wanted this to be the go-to video for the masses of ST owners so no corner was cut when it came to video production. Having said that, and having learned so much more about video editing since I uploaded this, I now think it's terrible and could have been so much better!

Loosen wheel nuts 1/4 turn before jacking up the car. This prevents you swearing when you find the guy who fitted your tyres used a 1000 foot pound air tool to tighten your front wheel nuts. It's much easier to deal with tight front wheel nuts with the weight of the car on the wheel, and handbrake on, than with the wheel off the ground and spinning every time you try to loosen the nuts.

A very helpful video that you've created. I like the way you've been thorough to video the minor details.

This video was awesome. I figured I could figure it out without issue but this made it much faster. I appreciate your help in making my job easier!

thanks a lot for this videoguide! my st200 is on 25000 km now and i was pretty shocked, that the disks got so rusty after it started to rain more in autumn. but as i saw your video i was pretty relieved, that this seems to be normal on the st (i got the st200, but i think the brakes are the same). driving much more relaxed now :)

Great informative video, well done. Was following you step by step while watching you.

Thank you for this video! Great instructions, did mine for the MOT and it passed! 😁 thanks again 👍

Again great video and you have a pleasant voice to listen to. Some important things though, I always clean the caliper with compressed air and I clean the rubber around the piston with soap then I apply ATE grease to the rubber to prevent it from drying out too early, you should also add ATE plastilube onto the new break pads and onto the top of the piston inside the caliper. I would also clean the wheel hub with a wire metal brush followed by ceramic high temp resistant grease or copper grease. You also need to clean and put special heat resistant grease on the guding pins, ATE Plastilube will be fine.

Good video and well explained. How ever as a Volvo technician myself (rear brakes are 100% the same as this) you really should be cleaning up the calliper carrier and greasing it along with the new pads to prevent them from getting stuck. Also you should be torquing up the calliper carrier bolts as the length of the ratchet you used would not have done them tight enough along with the callipers aswell.

Good to see some modern cars stick with nice simple brakes! Unlike some manufacturers that like to use special tools/bits just to make it more fun.. Or even require the proper dealer software just to rewind the piston! I've always found chucking a wheel nut back on with the new disc makes putting the carrier etc back on so much easier - just a thought :)

Thanks for the reply Mark. About 3 hard stops and they gave up the ghost. Very noisy, virtually no braking or bite. The original motorcraft ones seemed much better. May have to try yellowstuff or Ds2500 but worried about the cold bite driving to work. I have also recently upgraded to Peron stage 1+ (225bhp/265ft/lbs) so could also be the extra power.

@MarkCup70

Give the YellowStuff a try. I loved them on track (although they only lasted one full day at Goodwood) and on the few road miles I covered they had plenty of normal temperature bite. The other good thing about them is they are cheap (bin them if you don't like them) and they, for me anyway, produced absolutely no brake dust at all that stuck to my wheels! They're well worth a shot.

at 11:35min you press the brake pedal, with the rear caliper piston rotates in or out you're better off fitting and torqueing up the wheel first before pressing the brake pedal, not an issue on the fronts because the piston simply push in or out. Also good practise to apply some ceratec grease on the pad tabs/lugs.

I like your video 💪👍

Thank you!

Good video! Just my 0.02, instead of the zip ties (a valuable resource for car work to be sure) you could use a wire hangar to hold the front (and rear) calipers by bending it through the slot in the caliper and hooking it to the spring. That's what I've always done.

THANKS very clear and helpful.

Thank you so much for this video, you have given me the confidence to do this myself. One question though, whats with all the springs and boot assemblies I see when pricing up the brake sets online? I have this same car and didnt see any of that equipment.

Very nice

Great video! Thx! No ATE plastilube on the hooks of the break pads? As well as on the bracket? The only way to prevent squeaking...... Not wise to press the break pedal with the brake fluid reservoir still open...... The fluid will most likely spill over into the engine bay. You might want to use some break clean to remove the grease on the rear brake after you mounted them, meaning once again before you mount the wheel.

Once the rear was done was any adjustment of the handbrake required and if so how....thanks

Was just wondering where you positioned the jackstands underneath the car exactly?

One tip, you only really need to clean the rust proofing from the actual braking friction surfaces. It can be handy to leave on the non-braking surfaces to prevent rust.

Before you wind back the brake caliper you need to open the bonnet and take the cap of the brake reservoir otherwise you can damage the seals in the master cylinder then you will have to spend out again, please note when this is done fill up with brake fluid and then pump the peddle to make sure you have brakes once the brakes pads are finished.

Hello there! What experience have you made with brake discs? I'm going to replace brake lines, fluid and pads to get a better performance but I was told to get normal discs. What do you recommend?

Is there any adjustment for the anti rattle clips? My ST is on pagid discs and pads and they rattle when braking gently. Took it back to garage who “adjusted the shims”. Rattle stopped for a few weeks and has now returned. Very frustrating.

The bolts which come with the pads, are these replacements for the carrier and calliper bolts?

have you ever had the parking brake stop working after changing the pads? I followed this video exactly and the parking brakes barely works now. The brakes work perfectly when using the pedal though.

Thank you for your video! I'm going to try it myself. You use Brembo pads all around, how are they for a sporadic to moderate track use compared to stock and compared to the ebc yellow?

What happens if after doing the front brakes the brake pedal isn't nice and firm? I switched from stock pads to HPS 5.0, which are supposed to have less initial bite but they feel like non performance pads right now. Hopefully as it beds in more it will improve, I think I noticed a little improvement so far.

Hi mark, what pads would you recommend for road use and the track day on the Fiesta ST?

Hi i just did this for rear brakes and it was pretty hard to put the new pads on. Now while driving its braking constantly without applying pressure on the brake pad. Its not much but the discs are hot and i dunno if this is ok and Will wear out soon or if i assembled something wrong... Any tips?

I have a important question: How big does my profile need to be on the brake pads and rotors, with other words when do I need to change the pads and rotors front and rear?

I heard that they not selling the mr230 at the moment as have manufacturing issues with the cat back.. had the mp215 fitted

Would you recommend them brembo disks and pads? Or should I go for pagid?

I recently had new brake pads and rotors fitted to my ST by a dealership. They also don't bleed the lines when they fit, but I've got no idea exactly what their method is. Probably similar, but I wonder how carefully... Since the initial fit, and even after a master cylinder bleed with an ABS cycle (done by Ford dealer) the pedal still feels too soft, with little action at the top - nothing like it was on the factory fitted brake set. I'm due another visit to the dealer to ask them to rectify the fault, I'll be interested to see if the brakes need bleeding AGAIN.

Thank you for detailed video, Mark. I own ST 2016 in the same color. One question regards front brake pads. In the video you used Brembo P24072, but this set is not compatible with ST. This set is for cars with rear drum brakes. Moreover, they are smaller then original brake pads. Did you use them as an example or really drive with this set?

hey mark, could you tell me what parts number your brake pads are in the front? i ordered my Brembo set but they didn't fit at all, it had the number P24 072 however i found out that there is also a brake pad set with parts number P24 151, is this the right one?

Great video; I posted it on the fiestastforum and it is much appreciated. No mention of the front pad clips, though??? I did my rears (did have a seized pin) and am about to do the fronts; hoping the clips are straightforward as I know the front motorcraft pads include new clips. Seems to me there is also something marked on the pads: inside/outside?

I think most have managed to work those parts out as they've not been commented on before. Thanks for sharing and keep enjoying your car!

hi mark! i’m just wondering if you received any “brake squeel” from these discs and pads? i’m having a hard time finding pads and discs that don’t squeel! thanks for the video though, definitely easier than i thought!!

Great video dude. No bullshit, great content. I'm considering these same discs and pads from eurocarparts and mintex. What's your thoughts now having used them?

No greasing of the slide pins?

Just a suggestion but it might be useful to list the tools in The description as well. Other than that this is an excellent video. Thanks!

Do you keep the e break on or off during his??

I have a couple of thoughts, First the main reason I do my own brakes. How much money did it cost you to do that job? and more importantly is how much money did you save from what a shop was going to charge you? The US they want 153 bucks for front pads so this time I bought from a auto parts store and I saved a hundred. Thanks for a great video.

I noticed you didn't do any bleeding of the brakes once you put new pads and brakes on? Is this not necessary? I will only need to pump the brake pedal to make sure it's firm

No mention that theres a little nib on the back of the pad and you have line up the piston so it goes in one of the four holes or all the pressure goes on that nib and you will get uneven back wear on the inside of the disc

What kind of breakpads do you recommend for trackdays for fiesta st200 (2016)? Thank you all!

When slowly winding back the front right piston using the g clamp my piston housing became damp with brake fluid ( assuming brake fluid was pushing past the o-ring ), rang ford and they say the caliper needs replacing. Seen comments elsewhere saying they see a slight leak every-time they push back the piston and also others say they never see a leak, also some say they open the bleed valve before pushing back the piston to try and avoid putting too much pressure on the o-ring. Was wondering what your opinion would be on these points, thanks.

@MarkCup70

6 жыл бұрын

Hi Ady. In all my time replacing single piston floating caliper pads/discs I've never once had any fluid leak from the piston seals when pushing the piston back in. With the cap loosened on the fluid resevoir in the engine bay it's always worked for me without issue. I accept that loosening the bleed nipple is perhaps the best way to do it as that way you're not forcing fluid back through the brake pedal master cylinder into the resevoir. Why don't I do that? To avoid getting air into the system that would then mean a bleed is necessary...it's very easy for air to get into the system once the bleed nipple is loose. I have a friend with a Fiesta ST and am planning a bleed and fluid change instruction video in the next month or so. As for your piston seals and Ford saying you need new calipers...I think you could get away with just replacing the seals. I've not done that myself before but reasearching online it seems a fairly straightforward job, just take your time, use the correct tools and some good quality seals/o-rings. Good luck with getting this fixed and thanks for watching!

I wouldn't think air could enter the system by pushing the pistons back in. It's forcing the brake fluid back out the system to the reservoir. That's why you remove the cap when doing this.

It's probably the pads themselves causing the problem Dave...they're a cheap day-to-day pad really...suitable for road use only. Is it the pedal going long or do you just have no bite when you work them hard? I wouldn't be surprised if the pads gave up completely after one or two hard stops.

Should always remember to temporarily remove the brake fluid reservoir cap when pressing the caliper pistons back in. That gives the brake fluid somewhere to go.

Hi Mark, thanks for the video! Been greasing up the sliders as the rear brakes are seized and the guide shows how simple the rear brakes actually are to work on. However, part of the rear pads fell off once the caliper was removed (are backing plates part of the pad usually or separate? As im presuming this is the bit that fell off - looks like a backing plate/anti squeal plate anyway) Thanks! Matthew :)

@MarkCup70

That does sound like the anti-squeal plate. If you look in this video at 9:45 you can clearly see it on the back of the pad as I drop the new ones in, however, they are usually atttached. Not on my ST but on previous cars I have known them to detach. If in doubt I recommend you fit a new set of pads...they're not expensive (£39 IIRC) so better to be safe than sorry! 👍

Great video mate. Do you lose the warranty with the Mountune MR230 kit? Do you really feel the power difference? Cheers

Thanks Doug! Yes, your base vehicle warranty is lost with MR230. Mountune give you 12 months on all that they fit but in theory you can kiss goodbye to any warranty claims for anything from Ford. I say 'in theory' as most dealers, if you ask nicely enough, can put things through under warranty. I have had warranty work done since MR230 was installed, it was completely unrelated to the MR230 package, and the dealer was very reasonable about it and put it through without question. Do you feel the difference? Compared to going from standard to MP215 I'd say it's a good two or three times more noticeable...the extra shove low down is really apparent.

Not daft at all! If my memory serves me correctly the front one is located where the front subframe bolts to the chassis, and the rear one was under what looked to be a substantial enough part of the rear torsion beam. That's not ideal using a sprung part of the car at the back, but the rear of the car is light enough to lift up just by jacking up at the front so I had the rear stand mainly as a fail safe.

Absolutely Benny, it makes the job only half as long, just remove the piston assembly, old pads out, new ones in, get the piston back in, then reassemble. You'll need to take a little more care when bedding them in though as the disc will have slight grooves and wear in it from the old pads so the new ones won't contact the disc fully and completely for a good few miles.
