Great video showed how simply a job it is to do and saved paying extra to have it done at a garage. Bought the brake pads from Repco at 25 % off on a day sale..even better!
Great news thanks for watching :) please give me the thumbs up :) I have made quite a few videos on this car now including all the brakes, radiator fan and alternator.
mate cheers i have a BA Fairmont, always have done my breaks on all the cars iv'e owned, but the nut on the inside of the caliper is new to me so i put the wheel back on, now iv'e watched this ill replace them tomorrow, couldn't work out why the bolt just spun & yes ya got a thumbs up lol
Cheers Chris and good luck I'm sure you will be fine. Ross
Thanks mate, I thought doing the back would be more difficult than the front, turns out it's just the same :)
No worries at all, thanks for watching please give the thumb up
Thanks mate, most helpful for newbees like myself. Cheers.
no worries mate, here to help :)
Top video no stuffing around straight into it cheers
Thanks David. Please remember to give the thumbs up and subscribe. I have made a few videos on the XR6
Thanks for posting helped me change my own front and rear all the best Paul
Hi Paul, glad i could help, thanks for watching please give the thumbs up :)
Good to see where you put the g clamp try adjusting your camera next time and show what you are doing with the g clamp and pad need to re film it stars out great
Hi Adam, thanks for your feedback, very old video now this was from 2017. Very different quality to my videos now haha. thanks for watching and your comment. Ross
Wonderful tutorial 👍👍👍
Thanks Phillip, I have made a few on the XR6 now.
Thanks mate. Good straight forward instructions.🍻
No worries at all thanks for the comment and I'm glad it helped. Regards Ross
just forgot to tell the people now's the time to check the slides are well lubed and not seized aswell as the dust boots protecting them 👍
great advice, always worth checking
cheers just easily overlooked especially the average joe, awesome video keep em up 👍
@@gunthead7043 Thanks mate, this one is a bit old now, my filming and editing is slowly getting better
I'd highly recommend cleaning the caliper up with warm soapy water before pushing the dirty piston back or adding new pads.
Great comment, or brake cleaner
Awesome work mate! I'm guessing my 2004 Territory would be a similar operation as it shares quite alot of components as a BA - BF Falcon. Am I correct?
Hi there, yes it should be, most braking systems are very similar to be honest, glad i could help :)
Nice one mate ..saved me some time and easy as ....cheers
No worries :) glad i could help
Absolutely fantastic video. Thanks so much
no worries Sean thanks for watching
Hey bro my head shield escaping the rim I put it on the same way
Hi there sorry for the delay in getting back to you, I am guessing you have fixed this now, was it scraping the rim or the disc rotor?
The handbrake off , looks quick but the pads look shorter so must be a calliper size ,
great, except we couldn't see the most important part, how to "g clamp" the piston back???
Hey Bernie, thank you for your comment, really sorry my camera skills are not there just yet but I'm getting better :) I
am also trying to save for a wider angle camera that would help. Thanks for watching.
As soon as you take the caliper off you will see the cylinder.its pretty self explanatory or you could get your local mechanic to show you.good video clear instructions also once the nuts are tight enough do them up hand tight in a star pattern so the wheel is straight. tension the nuts at 120nm as reccomended 👍
He shows it in the video when he does the front brakes.
@@mosthated863 I thought it is 135 Nm,thanx.In Ford manual says between 115 and 155 Nm.They are not helping lol.135 Nm was told by spare parts manager at Ford dealership
excellent video..gotta do my futura now
Thanks Rick, good luck.
@@RossPerryProductions all sorted, 17mm open end spanner to hold nut behind the 15mm… and levered piston open with large screwdriver..cheers
Do you prefer the Falcon to the 380 ?
Its been a long time but I did yes, mainly for the rear wheel drive. But the 380 was super smooth on long journeys and more comfortable.
Good going ,thanks
No worries at all thanks for watching. Ross
After replacing all the pads that way did you have any issues with your abs or warning lights?
hi there no not at all, although there were none to start with
I did mine this afternoon and my abs weren't sore at all.
Nicely described, had to sub.
thanks Boss Dog
Hey mate, any chance you could do a video on servicing the handbrake drum pads?
Hi Julzilla, if I work on the car again in the near future I will be sure to. Ross
@@RossPerryProductions awesome cheers!
I notice you didn't replace the rotor. Is it just a matter of undoing the nut in the center and removing the rotor?
Hi there, yes you have to undo the hub nut and retract the rotor from the hub.
you need to remove the entire brake holder and caliper first. Look at the images the rotor will not come off if the brake is in place.
Hi
Do you know how to get the rear rotor off the car as I need to change my rears thanks
Hi There I have not done that yet myself, however I would imagine you would need to undo the center hub nut holding the rotor to the drive shaft, sorry I cannot be of more help.
@@RossPerryProductions undo the screws and the rotor will come off...may need a hammer
Did you fit back hand brake? Can't see
Hi there Bilby, I believe the handbrake operates shoes within the disc, like an old brake drum. As I didn't change the discs I didn't touch the handbrake. Ross
@@RossPerryProductions
Good job mate. Thank you :)
@@bilby1 No worries at all
Ok so Im a big fat noob. I wanna buy the parts and then get a mechanic to install. cause im scared ill not install correct.
So I need to buy 4 brake pads, one for each wheel I guess.
and my rotors are warped hard. so 4 rotors? Is this correct or did I goof it up?
2006 bf falcon is my car.
Hi there Stephanie, that's not a problem at all, if you are not confident with doing so yourself that is exactly the right thing to do. There is 2 pads (pair) required per wheel, when you purchase the pads they come with 4 pads. the pads on the front are the same left and right, equally with the rear. You can often buy pad and rotor sets, which again would be separated into front and rear. In total 4 rotors (2 front, 2 rear), and 8 pads total (4 sets of 2). I hope this helps. Please give the thumbs up.
@@RossPerryProductions It very much helps. After emailing a bunch of workshops. Cheapest I've been quoted was $350. Seems decent or?
@@Michaelkayslay seems expensive for one set.. watch the video its really not that hard
@@steved9933 no sorry. I meant for front And back
Machined rotors too
Full brakes and machined rotors for 350
I would say that is a good price if it includes the parts, however this should be no longer than 1-2 hours labor for a workshop. So it depends on their hourly rate.
If I change the pads do need bleed or pump the brakes?
Hi Matty, when were they last bled? Also yes you will need to check the fluid levels before you pump them to make sure it doesn't pull air into the system. I tend to always bleed the brakes, unless I know they have been done very recently.
@@RossPerryProductions no worries. How do you bleed them? I've assisted someone many years ago. But cant remember what we did exactly.
@@mattyviper6039 There is a bleed nipple on the back of the calliper you need to connect a pipe onto that with the other end in a jar, and get a spanner to fit (I believe it is a 10 or 11mm) its much easier if you have a second person who can pump the brakes inside the car as you open and close the nipple. Make sure the brake reservoir never goes below the minimum mark, you are looking for a change in colour (so you know the new fluid is through) if there are bubbles keep bleeding until they are gone. I hope that helps.
Sweet as bro thanks for that 👍
@@mattyviper6039 No worries at all, I have made a few videos on the Falcon.
is bleeding necessary afterwards?
Hi there, not necessary, I know a lot of people don't. However its amazing how air can make it into the system and the difference it makes. As the price of 'good' fluid is cheap, and the process is quick I always recommend it.
Mines isn’t budging bloc got the hand break off
They can be stubborn!
Do you still have this car?
Hi there Homlesy11, no I don't it was actually a family members who sold it about a year ago why is that?
@@RossPerryProductions just was going to ask about vacuum lines as pulled engine out and now some lines im not sure where they go and engine runs like a dog atm
@@homlesy1172 Arhh ok, if you check out my video on changing the Alternator you might be able to see it, its the only Video where I spent a bit of time in the engine bay th-cam.com/video/vt9O8hvjQe0/w-d-xo.html
@@RossPerryProductions thanks a good video but the vacuum lines are on the fuel injector side behind the engine bcm where main loom plugs in
@@homlesy1172 Sorry I cant be of more help
Mate is there anything that can substitute the G-clamp if I don't have one?
Hi there, there are a few options but don't try and hit it back in, it needs to be a smooth constant pressure, you could use some long bolts or threaded bar with a cross piece and try and tighten them to retract the piston.
i am thinking of using a flat head screw to lever the piston in, dunno if that's gonna work?
Put the old pads back in there and lever them apart you could also use a spanner as a lever
RossPerry Productions Cheers mate!
a brake piston tool from Supercheap or the likes is cheap and you then have it for life.
What size g clamp do you need to push in front and back pins? I bought a 6 inch g clamp and worked wonderful but it's plenty big enough. I guess atleast of I ever need it in future it's bug enough for other jobs
Hi Leslie, I mainly use a 9" one however I do have a piston retraction kit which is pretty handy and are not too expensive.
HEy Mate nice explanation but your shade cover it up
Hi there, yes i filmed this one a long time ago, i am gradually getting better with the video skills :)
Dis you have to bleed the brakes
Hi Ricky, I typically bleed the brakes whenever I work on them as I have an automatic bleed system, so its quick to do and fluid is relatively cheap. Regards Ross
@@RossPerryProductions thanks mate
you dont really need to open brake fluid cap too
HI Michael, I disagree you really should as it allows the fluid to go back into the reservoir without any pressure, which potentially create air bubbles
@@RossPerryProductions ok thanks iam planning on bleeding the brakes anyway
I stopped watching when you called them wheel bolts 😂
Oh, was it too confusing for you to hear an English accent? I found a definition for you to avoid any confusion.......'A Wheel bolt, also known as a Lug bolt, is a single-piece fastener that screws directly into a threaded hole in the vehicle's wheel hub. The head of the bolt holds the wheel securely in place, while the threaded shaft penetrates the hub.'
