I can not say that you did it like a pro because you did it like a master of the pro, i wish all mechanics would do it as you did it, clean nicely everything

What I like about this video is the attention to detail. You give all of the information and make it look so easy whilst being professional. Cheers pal!

Perfect brake job. You cleaned and greased all the right areas with the right greases. If only all mechanics did as thorough job as you, we wouldn't hear so many noisy brakes.

Great video and channel. You are better than most mechanics who want to do a fast job and cut corners on cleaning the caliper and associated parts. Well done!

You should see the crappy mechanics we have in Britain they have no pride in there work and just want to make quick money you are a master mechanic man

Helped a lot! And saved me lots of money, when I could fix myself the brakes! Thanks from Finland / Astra owner

think i found a new favourite for tutorials on changing parts out, you made it look easy and did a very thorough job. Thanks for the video :)

Thanks for your good instruction. I have just completed my first break change ever 😊

Thanks for this, I've just removed my discs and pads and I am just waiting on the replacements being delivered. If only commercial garages were as professional as you! Cheers!

Great job

Very good video lol. Thanks 😊

I replaced my discs and pads a month ago on a second hand car i bought. After 2 days of driving the brake caliper decided to sieze up while driving causing smoke!! The car i bought must of been sitting around for such a long time that rust must of built u in the caliper piston and when new pads were installed the rust caused it to seize up! what a head ache! the smell was horrible haha. Good video! Subscribed.

Hi ur videos is amazing maybe u can make also a video of changing of broken lug wheel for opel astra j thank you

What an excellent video, exactly what I need right now. I assume it is the same principal for the rear wheels on the Astra J? Also could you please list the greases / sprays etc. that you used in the video?

Brilliant video. just like to ask one thing, can i use red grease to lubricate slide pins. Many thanks

Hi great video would this be same method on a MK1 Zafier and is everything you used in the video needed like the greases and pastes

Cheers 👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿😎

I need to buy a tool for unwinding the the brake caliper. What would you say are the requiremements/specification? I have seen there are different models and differenst sizes of the actual circular pad that do the pressing. I suppose it must not be too big. What is the right size?

This guide was brilliant. My only query is that after following this guide I seem to have air on the brake pedal. Could it be that not opening the bleed nipple has pushed air into the system and damaged the brakes somehow?

I also got spongy pedal after changing front rotors and pads + rear pads, feels like air in the system

excelent, but one thing in mind, when using ATE coated brake discs you don't need to degrease them (its says in manual) because paint prevents rust its not bare surface so it doesn't have any grease on, brake pads will clean disc surface after few miles

Great instructional video indeed. Would you mind us telling about the brand of brack pads you recommend? Thanks.

How can you identify which brake pad goes on the outside and which one goes on the inside (the piston side)?

Hi there, copper grease is bad to use with rubber elements, It's better to leave old grease than use copper one. Try to buy silicone grease. Available in any parts stores. Regards :)

this video is a bit fake. The Screw that holds the disc never ever unscrews - it is stuck and it will break and will need 1 hour to get out. Also all screws and guida slides work very very hard to remove. In your video everything is so easy

I'm sorry, this obsession. you made a mistake in returning the embulo; Before returning the embolus, it is mandatory to open the bleed. For the old fluid, dirty. Do not return to the system by damaging the ABS.
