great little video, thanks 🙂
This makes it look so easy but I bet mine won't be so easy to remove! (they never are!)
I'm also not so sure about the use of a screwdriver against the disc even with the pad in place to push back the piston into the caliper as you could distort the disc and do you really need that much copper grease? Seems a bit excessive! Just a thin smear is usually enough to stop brake squeal.
Really good concise guide thanks for that. You've already helped me change a CV boot without a cone tool!
Don't force fluid back up to the master cylinder. Open the bleeder and let fluid out. Afterwards bleed it and top up with fluid
Although this does work and I did complete it on a similar Nissan Almera it is certainly not as easy as this makes out. You need to replace the pads on BOTH sides. The piston goes back in easy on the first side but the second side is a colossal struggle and I used so mush force I bent the screws which I had to hammer back into shape. I eventually got there but it is certainly not as easy as this makes out. I would like to see a video showing them replacing both.
Thanks for that best one on you tube will try it next week
Omg… what a mess
Bit to much Greece but hey good job ( personal preference on Greece lol)
the BEST FRONT PADS ARE FRONT BRAKE PADS SET TRW GDB1059
O.E.M
OK, so point me too a brake manufacturer that reccomends using copper grease on the pads? Because as far as I know they all say not to use it. And how about cleaning the piston before you shove it and all the accumulated crap back past the seals? Gonna lubricate the slides at all? Because since one pad was worn more than the other chances are they're in need of it? Basically? This is how not to do it.
