Useful video. In addition to glasses when wire brushing, cleaning/wiping gloves to remove oily residues before handling the new brake disks / pads is also a good idea.
Liked it, it was very informative, not sure if my motor a 2004 plate honda civic has the same rear set up and needs the wind back tool or not, possibly it does, a bit more clarity on how the wind back tool is used would help. Possibly a bit OTT from me but a dust mask while using the wire brush to clean off old break dust might help the lungs if you do this a lot. All in all I learned a lot thanks
When I reassemble these parts, I always apply a very thin smear of grease to all the screw-threads, the faces and the heads of the nuts. It stops what's called "gauling" (thread damage). Remember, in a couple of years you may need to do this job again, so this will help you get the screws undone without damage. Use your common sense and don't get grease on the discs.
@@dotmanmide The point I'm making is trying to stop the threads rusting (fusing) together over time. Thread compound can do that too but make sure you get some on the bolt faces too.

Where do my get my pianist from, can I have someone use a keyboard to play the tune when I change the brakes, or will that not work?
Would grips be able to be used instead of wind back tool
I used an old tap with a big washer to wind back the calliper.
Good information but you forgot the most important part of put the wheel back on and that is to torque the up to manufacture data

Just what I was thinking.
Excellent video thanks for posting
Well done Guys !

It was advised on another video to use tread tightening to avoid loosening later, which makes sense. Can you use grease as you suggested as well?

Good job bro..clear pic and details..
good
They do it so you go change you discs every time and than . Brake discs are stronger than you thing no need to change when the manufacturer says
Can't see what he's doing half the time!
someones been had off no need to replace them parts at all
Excuse me, look at those discs and how tight those pads were in the carriers and tell me again that they don't need replacing at all.
Anybody else get an ad of this very video?

Very crazy doesn't show what he's doing
did you no wd40 is made up of 80% fish oil yes thats true
Wd40 will destroy rubber. Brake cleaner should be used on brakes dummy
