Doesn't matter how many tools you have next to you, its guaranteed the one you need is still in the shed, you have left it somewhere safe (never to be found again) or you've lent to the kids .... good work as usual.

Well done Martin for not editing the the bad parts that you come up against at least your honest in showing they way it is

[larrycroft]

Martin your camera work is so clear. You do a wonderful job of explaining and teaching. And your personality is perfect for this platform. No matter what you are repairing i so much enjoy watching. Your friend across The Pond.

As ever a great tutorial. Top tip though, remove the disc retention screw before taking off the pads etc as if it is tight or a bit chewed up you can hold the disc with the handbrake to stop it slipping 👍👍

Also some pistons are clockwise and some are anti clockwise, need to check first as for example on the Mondeo MK3 the estates were different from the hatchback!

[berndb.]

Martin, you are not to be envied. I know how it is when you always have to crawl on the floor while working on your car. After that you have some rest and a cup of tea!
Thank you for your effort and the video. 👌👍

You can bolt the caliper back on with just one pin and makes it easier to wind in as it’s held in place. Also taking brake resivior cap off helps. I did an Audi last weak and forgot to take cap off and it fired fluid out the cap seal. Luckily I got away with it. I also greased behind the boot to prevent seizing

Thanks Martin, another very interesting video….love to you all from South Africa xx

[barbarawiddowson]

You have great skills, the patience of a Saint and when things go wrong your humour comes out!Stay safe.

Great video Martin. Showing how the job is done with all it's little drawbacks and problems you discover on the way and how you overcame them to finish the job off.
Cheers, Jeff.

Naughty boy Jimmy lol nice fix Martin when I use a winding tool I used a socket felt easier just a tip good dad lol.

Gotta love a siezed up brake caliper, I had one off a lexus the slider pins were so siezed in I had to take it off the car and heat it up with a blow torch and hit the pins with a hammer for about half an hour before they would budge.

[DiecastPowderCoating]

Great to watch someone else working on a car. I'm sure the car companies deliberately put odd bolts on there so that you have to take it to the dealers for repair work.
I think I get more tired getting up and down to get different tools than doing the job.
Take care, Jeff

Great Video Martin
Good to see the use of copper slip on the contact points for the pads in the carrier, very few people tend to use it now.
It keeps everything free and reduces squeaky brakes
Also a good brush of copper slip on that disc flange stops the alloy wheels seizing on. The amount of times Ive had to hammer rims off where people don’t both to grease it up 😡😡

Best Wishes
Tim

Martin, I was shouting at the screen “ your turning the piston tool the wrong way!!”, I think you heard me eventually 😀

[andy_v]

[garywalker]

good blog martin keep them coming Gary from Crewe

[tinkeringtaylor]

good video martin got the money's worth out of them pads and discs and lucky you are so nimble for crawling around under the cars 🤸🏻‍♂️👍

[Honky_Konky_Phooey]

Cracking video Martin, I usually remove the rubber sleeves that the pin slides in and clean them and the hole they sit in, water gets in under the rubber finds a bit of swarf of metal and swells into rust totally stopping the pin from sliding. Keep up the good work fella 👍🇬🇧
