Hi. When changing the disc's(front or back) should the brake caliper be strung up instead of hanging free. Surely as a mechanic you should've known this. Left hanging it puts stress on the flexi brake pipe and will weaken it.....
Thanks for the informative video, I did everything and washed the whole mechanism before putting new disc on, ended up with ESP lights on, any advice please what might have happened?
Thank you for your comment! Perhaps one of the wheel rotation or body position sensors has failed, we recommend contacting the service for a complete diagnosis and determination of the error. Best Regards, Autodoc team
Hi Great Video However can you please provide a detailed explaination as to what you are doing with the flat head screwdriver once you remove the rubber bung on the old disc near the studs & again what is the correct procedure when installing the new disc with the flat head inside the hole? TIA
If you leave the handbrake on, you need to rotate the handbrake brake adjuster (cant remember the name of it) to release the disc frim the handbrake shoe. But if you have the front wheels chocked and the handbrake off, you can just skip that part.
If you look closely at the bottom of the handbrake shoe, front one, once he's removed the disc, you will see the head of the adjustment bolt which has some cogs on it to make the adjustment possible. This is the bolt he is turning in to release the handbrake shoe in order to be able remove the disc. Once the new disc is in place, he turns the adjuster out again until the handbrake is correctly adjusted.

Common practice is stringing up the caliper to protect the flexible pipe.

What is the chap releasing and then re-engaging through the hole in the disc. Is this some kind of retaining device?
hand brake pads that are inside the drum. he release a bit and then tighten back.
You are right, this is a retaining mechanism. Best regards, Autodoc.
