Buy some axle stands if you want to do work like this! Car balanced on that shitty jack is a accident waiting to happen.... Nobody wants to see you get squashed on video! Also by removing the complete hub assembly you will have lost your camber adjustment
Have since bought myself some, but cheers for the tip :) tell me more about this camber adjustment. Could it be linked to a clunking noise I get when I brake, since doing the repairs?
Hi Mr Ploppy :) you certainly don’t need to remove the knuckle like I did in the first half of the video - though my honest answer would be that the dust shields are not worth replacing. They’re not a not fail and are therefore not required. If you consider how rusty mine got, the very thing that is supposed to protect the brakes was likely flaking all over them. A new set is better than none, but at what cost? At a guess your Getz is around 15 years old or more. You need to ask yourself if it’s worth the hassle. Hope this helps :) Matt
@AtypicalWorkshop the crumbling cover is contaminating the abs sensor with crumbling bits and putting the light on. Maybe easier just to remove the bad one.
I agree - see how much of the old one you can remove first. I assume you’ve jacked up the car and removed the wheel? Pop something underneath too to protect your drive 👍
I'm going to do the same repair on my Getz, both front dust shields are pretty bad. Though, i wont remove the whole knuckle from the car. But, how much did you cut off the shield, in order to pry it on?
Yeah definitely don’t remove the knuckle, was a nightmare 😂. I used an angle grinder, though I guess you could use some metal snips, jigsaw perhaps. I couldn’t open it wide enough with one cut though - I had to gradually remove more material/make the opening wider until I could pry it on without it feeling like it was bending too much. Hope that helps and good luck! 👍
If I recall correctly, the brake caliper mounting bolts go through the brake shield. The trick was to make the cut large enough to get the shield around the wheel hub, but small enough that the fit was still snug
You’re right. I have some, but couldn’t work out how to replace the jack with the axle stand without placing the jack under a ‘non designated’ lifting point. I have since found that I can put the jack underneath where the control arms attach to the frame, keeping the jacking point free for the axle stand when the car is sufficiently lifted

do you think this maybe possible without having to remove as much

Could i ask where you got the torque figures from?
Hi Craig. I believe I’ve got a Getz workshop manual knocking about somewhere. If you drop me a message on instagram, I’ll send you over a copy 👍
Thanks for the reply. I have an i20 so I'll have to have a trawl through the net.
Best of luck!
Man they should separate those two parts . Those things Rust easily and u have to take the hub every time . That’s crazy 😢

Did the exact same thing today on my Getz. Nice twist you did, when you cut it open instead of disassemble, saves med a trip to the mechanic
Ok, you cut the brake shield. How did you get it to stay in the proper position ?

@@AtypicalWorkshop Thanks for the reply. I don't know why, but I was overthinking that one.
Glad I could help!

That whole car was a case of murphy’s law 😂
Mate please use the axl stabds next time then only the "krik" ( dutchword) jack its saver.

You should think about becoming a narrator with the sound of your voice you’d do well 👍
I feel much more relaxed in front of the camera compared to my earlier videos. I think that helps a lot
