Soooo I don't get these negative comments. You explained very well. You gave me the confidence to try it myself when my brakes are a goner. Thanks! And yes, it's nice people say to use brake cleaner, but try so in a more constructive way ;-)
Hahaha, it’s all good. It is all part of putting my experience out there you know. I am glad that it helped you out though. Thanks for watching and engaging. I appreciate it.
How did you exactly push in the caliper piston? I tried turning it clockwise with the pliers and pushing it in, even with the brake refill under the hood opened at the top ti release pressure
I used a C clamp with an attachment that fit into grooves on the piston so that I could have good pressure and twist it back in.
@@AdrianBilladeauthanks bro, I'm gonna try it tomorrow
@@zekariaze8799 you should be able to rent the kit from a local auto parts house. I picked mine up from Amazon . It makes compressing the piston so much easier. And has attachments for several styles of piston.
Was gonna do mine today but the weather is diabolical 😢
My calliper mount is practically impossible to get off
1/2”? Bro, those are 13mms. No hate. Thanks for the job info, all the best.
Great video!
Thanks Tink!
I’m replacing the rear calipers , rotors and pads on mk5 gti. A quick question the new revision rotors are 282mm to avoid the rusty outside lip and my originals I pulled off were 286mm. Do I need a new 282mm caliper bracket or can I use the 286mm bracket ?
Hmm, that’s a good question. I would assume no. It seems silly that VW would revise the rotor with the intention of also replacing the brackets. I haven’t read anything about it being a thing either. Also I didn’t replace the bracket on my MK5 and everything operated as it should.
So to answer you, it shouldn’t be a problem. However, take it with a grain of salt. Definitely would ask a professional or someone who is well versed in VW. I only have my experience with mine you know. I would hate to give out or suggest bad information. Hope you get it back on the road soon man.
I used the same bracket and all is good. I will see how pads bed into new rotors over time I guess. So far so good. Thanks dude
I guess brake cleaner and copper grease doesn't exist in this guy's world
Brake cleaner???? What’s that?…. Of course the rotors were cleaned before rolling out of the garage. I’m not a total newbie here fella. But hey, thanks for pointing out that I need to put more information a video. Cheers!
@@AdrianBilladeau u got others calling you out u should delete this shit video and redo it thats the most important part its brake repair to make ur damn car stop not slide a whole city block WTF!!!
What grit sandpaper did you use?
110 or 220. Nothing to harsh. Just enough to take down the “high spots” you know.
@@AdrianBilladeau Thank you!
How did you get the frame off?
how do you know where to reset the calipers
You don't have to reset anything. The little guide pins (pieces covered with a rubber boot that move in and out) keep the pads "centered" and allow them to wear evenly. Hope this answers your question. Thanks for watching. Cheers.
@ 7:14 why are you using two wrenches?
Because the slide that is covered with a rubber boot was spinning as I was installing the bolt there. It has a place to use a wrench to keep it from spinning.
I went to another video when dude kept saying " caliber"'...and read he doesn't know what brake cleaner is.... nice car though!
Well it is indeed a brake caliper right? And clearly sarcasm doesn’t come through in text…. Of course I know what brake cleaner is. Hhaha! I appreciate the view and engagement.
It is. With a "P" not a "B". Still get a like from me though!
@@chrisrivera1409 hahaha definitely with a “P.” And I totally spelt it incorrectly in the last reply. Guess I better start proofreading more closely.
loaner tools ..... or just buy a kit to have....
I usually get a kit when I come across something I don’t have. I picked this one up from Amazon . Hahaha so not exactly quality but it gets the job done.
lol so you think getting next to nothing surface rust off matters but not brake cleaning the oil off the new rotors? pshh missed a key part for changing breaks safely bruh 🤖
I am not a total newbie at the car maintenance thing boss. I wiped down the brake rotors before the drive. But thanks for the engagement and for pointing out that I need to show more information in the videos. Cheers!
@@AdrianBilladeau yup this is a informative vid for ppl that dont know so u should include that luckily im one of those people that do know it doesnt matter what YOU think YOU know BOSS man this video is for the people that dont. CHEERS
@@AdrianBilladeau 🤮🤡
