    Did you tension the handbrake cable from inside after fitting the drums? Looks like a new one is needed though if the anchor on the axle is damaged.

    For the money you've spent you might as well have fit the ST150 rear calipers, in addition you only need new stub axles, brake hoses, handbrake cable. So much easier to service.

    Great video mate. I've got a mk6 1.6tdci and watching your videos has given me the confidence to just have a go at replacing things. I have 207,000 miles rn and the rear drums are next after the front end suspension and lower wishbones. What were the drums you got? Can't get a straight answer out of Autodoc, too many options for them all to be right 😅

    I have a mk6 zs petrol, and lately it will go into 4th and 5th easily, but there’s absolutely no power in them, once they go into those gears the speed hardly moves. Would it be a safe bet that it’s a clutch issue?

    It’s worth considering what caused the resistor to blow. The problem was caused by the blower motor bearings wearing out on my fiesta so replacing the resistor was just a temporary fix and needed doing again when the blower motor was replaced.

    It certainly does the job.I find a quick diagonal slot cut into the bearing race and a couple of good hits with cold chisel and hammer 10 times faster.By the time you set up bearing puller and stuff around I can take 4 races off with the cut and hit method. Great video for those learning.Keep it up.

    People have to start putting the correct torque specs and processes on these videos as its really dangerous not to. I love the fact these videos should encourage people to want to fix their own cars and not take them to the 90 percent of dodgy or corrupt mechanics. but seriously just saying tighten on critical suspension and drive train parts could end up with people loosing their lives.

    I read not to open the bottom plug as it's not intended as a drain plug. How accurate that is I don't know. Also you jacking the car up like that limits how much drains out from the gearbox.

    Personally I would raise the whole car level enough to work on with 4 axle stands with two heavy Jack's as a back up , and make sure you do it all when the oils are hot so it runs out faster and easier.

    @@Harryd06 "That is not just a bolt but the locking bolt of the selector shaft. I have seen before that people who used this bolt to drain the gearbox ended up disassembling the gearbox because they could not get the bolt back in because parts of the selector mechanism came loose inside the gearbox. Personally I would not use this locking bolt to drain the gearbox. Ford does not prescribe any method to drain the gearbox because it is considered to be filled for life."
