Thanks for this video, it helped a lot. Did help my friend yesterday changing front disks and pads on his transit, when almost finished with the second wheel, when torquing the 13 mil. (new) bolts one broke off and we had to extract the stud from the inside of the unit,( drilling did not work), so we ended up by welding a bolt op the piece of stud that stuck out. Then we were able to twist the broken stud out. Whole procedure took us about 50 mins. I hope this will contribute in case people may experience the same issue

Just replaced the front brakes on a 2019 transit tourneo/custom and the bolt holes on the hub were different. I was unable to find anyone on the net with the same issue so I thought I'd slap it here.

Haven’t you damaged the wheel bearing by knocking the bearing carrier out of the knuckle by hitting the disc? The bearing carrier is held up on its outer which is effectively the outer race. Hitting the disc drives a force through the hub which in turn drives the inner race of the bearing!?!?

I wanted to do all of the discs, pads, calipers and m/cyl on my 2009 Transit motorhome because it's 3500kg and I'll be going up and down the Alps this summer. I started with a rear, went and bought a 36mm socket and with all my 80kg weight on the end of a 5ft pole and power bar I couldn't undo the hub nut. (I know the left side is left hand thread) So I either have to buy an air wrench which I'll never use again (I'm 73) or pay a garage. Knowing my luck the air wrench won't undo it either. I'll probably end up robbing a bank and paying a garage to do it. And I bet my local engineering nuts and bolts specialist shop doesn't charge £45 for a nut.

Wow that's tight! See if you can ask a garage for a pack of beers to loosen those rears for you, then nip them up, so you can return home to finish it. You'll have to buy a £500 impact gun to be within a chance if a 5ft pole doesnt do it.

A Clip holds two or more things together under spring tension. A cotter pin does not do this. It is more of a wedge. The UK has several terms that are very odd by American and other standards.

Terrible design. Every time you do a brake change, you're basically changing bearing as well,plus every time bolts have to be replaced as well. Then there's the ridiculous torque setting of 420nm for the hub nut, average DIY mechanic has one up to 230nm as 420 one is so expensive, I would reccomend to anyone doing this job to buy two T50s as they have the tendancy to snap, and always get a new 36mm socket for hub nut as well.

@@boosteddiesel1834 thankyou for working hard in the trade, especially over the last year, hope you're safe/well and keeping head above water, so to speak. I replace hardware if it's supplied, of course. All bolts have a torque spec. With basic mathematics you can actually work out what torque any given bolt will required to hold it fast. Ford actually supply a torque setting for every one of the bolts I touched just in this guide. Some are stretch bolts by design, others are not. (Technically again, all bolts stretch slightly when torqued to spec, then return when loosened) Those that do stretch by design have a tolerance. So you can measure them and reuse if within tolerances. Be cautious with the use of cowboys and your job titles too... I know many more cowboys who have qualifications and work at garages than those who do it as a hobby. Stay safe, hope your work is good 👍🐷💪

@@PiggyPower Cowboys at garages? You are dead right there. The main franchised Nissan dealer in Coventry failed to change the spark plugs on my Forester when I took it there for a service. When I asked why first they said "Its a Diesel engine SIR and diesels don't have spark plugs". I said "I never swear, but I can't think of anything else to say. It's a petrol engine with four spark plugs. I have paid you to change them so go away and change them". They returned from the workshop and said "It's a Wankel engine and we don't do Wankel engines". I exploded and said its got four round pistons in cylinders and in the cylinder heads are four spark plugs. Go and change them". In the end they said "We don't know how". Having paid for a major service I had to go and buy the spark plugs and change them myself in my driveway at home. A Peugeot main dealer gave me a car back having charged for a reconditioned engine without tightening the head bolts, the gasket blew and the head warped, and they refused to accept any responsibilty. A Mercedes specialised garage managed to break two glow plugs on my car when doing a job that I ended up doing myself. Fortunately I have now found a small garage in a village where the old guy knows how to weld and the young guys know how to work computers.
