Great vid, now it’s my turn to try! 👌🏾
Good luck take your time & please like subscribe and share 👍🏽
Why not give the slider pins a cleaning any way. Also take the top of the brake fluid tank or slacken off the bleeder valve before pushing the piston back.
I agree you can and should do what you have mentioned preferably but for any of my subscribers who are new to mechanics or 1st timers it will be more complicated but will do it on next brake pads replacement video thanks
@@jaysworkshopgarage It kill me, to drive my vauxhall astra 2.0 J CDTI without cleaning her entirely. This video however had helped me, also l always use brown copper grease, for four edges of brake pads before sliding them in. I believe this will avoid the squeaks, had trouble with former mechanics before not installing copper grease and got me lot of issues with rust on my old disc and noise slowly progressing to becoming violently annoying. This made me mad, and decided to take up in my own time changing my disc and pads also regularly servicing them after month of wear. Between you and l, l know that many garages leave the cleaning also copper grease because they expect you to be back and will make more money off you. I believe all drivers should maintain their own vehicles, or if disabled use someone like family or a friend that they can trust to do it for them rather than garages and learn how to change parts also clean parts themselves. It not rocket science, it common knowledge lol.
@@carenthusiast4254 Your absolutely correct but only thing is with some of the new pads they come with a thin metal plate on the back of each pad which eliminates rust issues and squeeking hence why you don’t need to cooper grease the back of all brake pads these days
Excellent video. Changed my discs and pads but still squeaking 😫😫
Make sure they are good quality
@@jaysworkshopgarage yeah dude they are brembo like yours. Must be the caliper sticking
No checking the reservoir level whilst winding the piston in, or checking and servicing the slide pins?
When you press piston back be aware fluid level rising in reservoir..rears cannot be pushed back they need to rotate at same time, one side clockwise other anti.
👍🏽
Yeah pain
Really useful. Cheers dude.

Just subscribed to your channel am thinking of doing some car stuff my self.

@@jaysworkshopgarage need something to mount camera on also editing some words out as I do use bad words when spanners don't play nice. Will see got a job Sunday 2 wishbones to change.
@@alunroberts1439 lol definitely need to invest in a tripod
@@jaysworkshopgarage also need auto mute for when I use bad words.
good video
thanks
What can you use if you don’t have a piston clamp to push back piston?
G Clamp or you can wedge back with a flat screw driver before you undo the calliper
Reckon I could do this in work without the wind back tool, just the pry bars here? Failing that got some hydraulic spreaders if worst came to worst?
Yh while the old pads are still in you can wedge the piston back with a pry bar or long flat screwdriver but be careful not to score the face of the disc 👍🏽
@@jaysworkshopgarage legend, many thanks!
@@rodlaz1984 no worries take your time prying back the pads you should be alright mate good luck
Done them today, what a dream after watching this. Been putting it off. Top man, thanks!
@@rodlaz1984 well done
I changed my pads as per this video and am getting a lot of squeaking from the brakes. I didn't put copper grease in the clip where the pads sit. Would that be why?
possibly yes and also if you use cheap quality pads
@@jaysworkshopgarage Cheers. I get my pads from Euro Car Parts so should be fairly good. Bit of copper grease on the pad where it makes contact with the piston, and in the clips seems to have done the trick.
@@samzub1 excellent that’s good to hear 👍🏽
Hi jay quick question, would I need to undo the x2 18mm bolts if I was just doing the pads?
Hi no you won’t 👍🏽
Okay great will they just slot back in place yeah is that correct?
@@mattbullock7922 Yes simple as that just remember to give a good clean and use high temperature grease to help the pads slide good luck
Hello Friend I also have an astra j from 2010 I want the questions Do you have the article number of the Brembo brake discs and pads I also want to have them replaced but don't know the sizes I had this translated don't speak English well Greetings from the Netherlands I have an astra j built in 2010 1.6
Hi i’m sorry but I don’t have the article numbers and also uk spec cars are sometimes a little different to other country specs sorry
@@jaysworkshopgarage
no problem thank you for you message I'm going crazy standing 4 different brake pads and brake discs and disassembling and searching and ordering is a lot of work you diong good job nice 👍
Hi mate would this be the same for a Vauxhall astra estate 2013?
Thanks
Yes exactly the same
Hi mate how much were the pads and discs
Customer brought them to me not sure mate check on eurocarparts 👍🏽
Might be a stupid question - but is the process the same to replace the rear pads?
Hi similar yes but does your car have an electric handbrake/e-brake button? If not please follow link in my next reply hopefully this helps
If it’s a maual pull up handbrake/e-brake then it is similar to the Astra H follow the this link:
th-cam.com/video/2GmGpidw5-Q/w-d-xo.html
@@jaysworkshopgarage It's a manual handbrake. Thanks. Will take a look at the link.
@@samzub1 your welcome it’s another how to video from my channel 👍🏽
ive done my brakes but i put mine senser was up the top on brake pad have i done it wrong
yes is correct
@@jaysworkshopgarage but brake still making a noise when driving so have take it apart again see whats going on thanks for your help great video
@@craigtrigg4288 Hi thanks for positive feedback I was just looking back in the video myself and on the Brembo Pads the wear sensor sits at the bottom actually sorry for the misunderstanding on the last message hope this helps
@@jaysworkshopgarage is that for both front wheels mate thank you
@@craigtrigg4288 yes
Hello Jay, would this be the same process for a 2010 Insignia??
Yes
Thank you 🙏🏻
@@jodietarpey9247 no problem
Your spaner has 13 on it
Yes your right my bad 😂 13mm it is not 10mm.
@@jaysworkshopgarage am having a bash at changing the bushings on are Vauxhall Astra SXI MK5 going to be fun was quoted about £75 plus parts an cost of tool. My thinking is the garage to have a bushing tool any way so sod it am doing it. Am from electromechanical background. Also fixing TVs amps video players with 1 million cogs and gears. I did the disk brakes and shoes. All OK the cars stops were it should.
@@alunroberts1439 Definitely give it a go and I always say better off buying the tools and having a go instead of paying someone labour all the best mate
@@jaysworkshopgarage am in the UK the tool cost about £37. The bushings about £45. Am dropping the springs out pivoting the axle supporting on two stands an pushing it out. If I can re build a industrial hand blender that was brought to me in a bag of bits. I can sort out a metal cylinder with a rubber bung with a hole in it and s metal pin going threw it. I have fitted clutches on land rovers starter motors second battery's with contactors. And re build video recorders mech units. I can not afford to pay out as not in work. I say get a book and read look at the pictures also the internet is always good well some of the time.
@@alunroberts1439 Haynes Manual is the one
I hope you don’t live there to much airplane noises
😂 Lol ✈️
