New white spirit + clean kitchen paper towel works well as a ( new disc ! ) degreaser , ( if you do not have the spray stuff ) but never use paraffin as it leaves an oily residue ...... try not to get it on the rubber seals , though ( tried - n - tested ) ........
Don't think any good breakers yard in the UK will sell you secondhand discs? What next using secondhand oil because it looks ok Always always fit new brake discs and pads if replacing them The few pounds/pennies you may save are not worth it yours and other peoples lives depends on your brakes working correctly Brakes are a safety-critical item and you should not cut corners For all, you know the secondhand brake discs are warped and will give brake judder Just hope this clown is not near me when he needs to emergency brake to avoid a collision/pedestrian
@@fixanddrive They might be almost new but they may be warped or cracked I wonder what your insurance company would say if the knew you were fitting secondhand brakes to your vehicle? Think of the liabilities you are opening yourself up to when you do a video like this? Don't get me wrong I enjoy watching these how-to videos as they can be informative just think of the implications of someone using your video as part of their defense in court?
@@richbrown8174 here in Poland you can use secondhand spare parts and I will never believe you can't in the UK. Once you do something with the brakes and remove the discs, you then also refit your used discs. You don't need to fit new discs just because you removed yours for some reasons. Insurance companies here have nothing to do with it. Once you fit new discs, they are used the very next day.
@@fixanddrive Yes you can fit certain used parts her in the UK just not safety critical parts like brakes, suspension and seat belts etc Why would you want to risk yours or your families lives to save a few Euros If your removing the an existing disc to carry out some other work then yes you can refit the disc You shouldn't be replacing worn discs with second hand parts and to do so on here could encourage others to take shortcuts that endanger lives Think you'll find that any insurance company in the world that finds out that you've fitted second hand parts or made undeclared changes to your vehicle could decide that you have invalidated your insurance This includes remapping your ECU as most insurance companies now read the ECU software as part of a claim.
The Nm value shows how light or heavily you tighten a bolt/nut. To measure this value you need a torqure wrench, like this: th-cam.com/video/Uo83JvjAVjI/w-d-xo.html 5Nm is almost nothing, you could tighten a bolt up this value almost with a hand.
thank you sooo much!!
now i need to go and find tools lol
All ways push the piston back using the brake pads
You didn't show taking the cap off the brake filler resevoir. 🤔.
Nice video, It wouldn't hurt to put a little silicone grease on the guide pins while you're at it.
New discs are so cheap. Why buy 2nd hand ones FFS?
if they like new is a good way to save. Why you do not have BMW but this small car?

May God bless the Polish people 🇵🇱
❤️✝️🙏
I work in the UK , for a Polish owned company. Mainly Polish employees, who all work very hard. I love and respect them 🙂
Have you used a standard jack and two axle stands to support the vehicle? Where are the positions where you placed the stands? Thanks in advance.:-))
Yes used axle stands. I placed them in the point where the whisbones start, more or less where the bolt holding the wishbone is located
90 Nm for the caliper "flange"..seems a lot. You read It on the manual ?
I have to do this by myself.
Thanks for sharing.
@Ian Sharpe Great community
Perfect, thanks
I love you

They were almost brand new.

You shouldn't be replacing worn discs with second hand parts and to do so on here could encourage others to take shortcuts that endanger lives

Hi. Can i ask what does 5 Nm mean ? Thanks.

not how you change front breaks
What a Scrooge ! Using old rusty second hand discs from a crashed car 🤨
Get new discs, leave them outside in the rain and the will be correded next day
