Good idea with using the old brake pad for the compression of the cylinders. At least VW doesn't use that cylinder type where you have to turn it as you compress it - those are a pain. I got a big old C clamp from my grandfather 35 years ago and I have probably used it for changing 25 sets of brakes over the years.
One reason one might use the hardware that comes with aftermarket is the hardware might be designed to fit their product. It might be factory on one side but could be slightly different. Obviously it worked for you and that's good but this is just the word of caution.
Hats off to you dude… Great informative video…
Thank you for taking the time to make it.
Just did brakes from your info and the job was flawless, Thanks Bro

Thanks. I'ma have to do this soon
My phone stopped recording, but I did post the rest in a separate video.this is part one.
Nothing about removing the caps??
Did you used an electronic parking brake tool to release the parking brakes?
You only need to do that when doing the rear brake pads.
