- 2019 Ford Tourneo/Transit Custom Rear Brake Pad Replacement & Swollen Wheel Nut Removal
The rear wheel nuts are common for the tin outer casing to become swollen not allowing the wheel brace to fit onto the nut....here i show an easy way to remove the wheel nuts which are 21mm in socket size.
Two wet belts on one engine and the sump has to come off to replace them!!
Stuff is just too damn complicated now.
I had the chrome cap fall off my Mondeo,I only noticed when I got a flat,and of course the standard wheel brace won't work because of the reduced size,luckily I had my trusty tool kit,and my 18mm socket and breakerbar got me back on the road quickly.I replaced them with Volvo nuts which don't suffer from that problem.
Great to see you back Alan.
good idea to keep a proper socket set in your car, and replace those nuts with solid ones, cheers andy
bought a 3/4 inch socket for the 19mm ford nuts, it fits a treat, saves about 15 mins per service
I bought a Laser 18.5mm/19.5mm impact socket for the very reason. Wish I’d thought a bit harder and used my 3/4inch socket 🤣
Wind the calliper in towards the rear of the vehicle - might be easier to remember that way. Good to see you back on the ‘Tube’ Alan
good tip davy, cheers😅
You may already be aware but there is actually an arrow on the callipers pointing which way to wind it in and there’s a mark at the back of the calliper that you line the piston hole up with. New bolts from ford are usually 12mm too
i did not know that, so thanks for the tip, now i do know, cheers hobbs
Thanks Alan. Never knew there was an air tool for winding back pistons 👍🏻
yes it certainly makes life easier , thanks roadkill
We're not going to talk about how they've turned left for the last 55 years and now we get one that turns right?
😂pfffffffffftttttttttttttbwuhahahahahahaha
Just want to thank you for your video my 2018 custom rear pads were were worn and bringing up the service indicator. I used a special tool, not pneumatic, passenger side quite easy but quite a job on the drivers side
I used silicone spray as you suggested and had to buy a new torque wrench that did 200nm
Thanks again
Funny enough had this problem with nuts on a mk4 mondeo today. Ended up removing the covers and will order new non covered nuts. Done rear pads on a mk7 transit and found starting off the rewind was hard going with the winder tool. I found opening up the bleed nipple helped but also using a suitable socket and bar on the winding tool to give a bit more pressure helped. Ford really screwed up with the nuts though!!
Alan ! Over past few years I have almost watched all of ur uploaded videos and As the mobile mechanic I love ur explanation and most important uses of DIY tools to get the jobs done like them old days despite having all them new Gizmos and engadget's
Always a pleasure watching you work : u always have great tips, it’s like an education watching you 👍✊👌💪👊👏
lol, cheers m ac
Thanks for the tip about the nuts, half mine have balloned! Having a mare!
lol, yeah best replace them
Good idea to use new bolts. I have had one ( top bolt) on m 2005 Mondeo come loose and drop out. Wheel jammed as the calliper fell against wheel. Recovery home and I fixed it with new bolts.
Ive said it before, When pushing the brake pistons in , crack the bleeder, put a hose on, then push the piston in. No resistance, No fluid going backwards though the ABS valves and NO filling up the master cylinder and it gets rid of the dirty heat affected fluid next to the piston. Then when you top up to bleed the brakes, new fluid gets the the caliper faster. simple.
Sometimes the nipple will not undue , and they snap , then it's new caliper or gravity bleed it
i will try that method on the next one but great tip, without the proper wingback tool it could make the job a lot easier
@@alan4x You might find this interesting Alan since you appear to like using your brain unlike most of the population : th-cam.com/video/98qv9ztkW_U/w-d-xo.html
@@alan4x Thanks for another great video!
For what it is worth, I have also been practicing blocking off the break hose with some pliers when pushing the pistons in (after cracking the bleeder).
I have also been told to add copper grease on the top surface on the piston and the fingers on the callipers. I am told it should reduce screaming noise from the brakes. Is this true?
@@Torstein1960 i don't think putting copper grease there will stop brake squeal...most pads have anti squeal material on them but i guess its worth a try if you have squealing brakes, not something i have heard of or done myself
ok not transit related, but my daughters cmax had a seized up caliper, there was corrosion under the slide pin rubbers which squeezed against the pins, stopping the caliper sliding. the piston was wound out all the way, and i successfully wound it back with an impact wrench, after i could barely move it by hand. thanks for the video. your vid has also explained why her transit ended up with new bearings and everything:)
Good choice of music for the into -slick -very impressed
Good stuff Monika and Alan, great video, very detailed👌👍🙂
Thank you kindly pat, have a good one
Swollen Nuts - very painful!
😅
There are indicators on the calipers where should be the sockets oriented on the piston right next to the turning way indicator.
Nothing wrong with your method but with indicators it shold be always good at first time! :)
The trick to remove the disc without the oem puller, loosen a lill’bit up those torx bolts 2-3turns or more you will see it, grab a rubber hammer/mellet hit the disk as many times as needed to free them up
And the main trick is you only break up the wheel hub bolt when the disks are break up when the gap is there you turn out those torx bolts and finish the disk removal from the hub
Sometimes i just let the disk break up and i remove the whole disk bearing assembly and push out with a (dont know the correct word) bearing pusher need to be sure to be not harm the bearing
The timing belt not so hard.
Rwd harder than fwd for sure!!!
Nice to see your vids again thank you!
And one more thing!
In these cars/trucks when i do brake disk change i always greas up well the connecting components so next time i or anyone else can work on it!
thanks for the tips, i did not know about the indicators, now i do, cheers
I thank you those vids and content was very inspiring for me in the last few years! Keep up, we cant wait for the next video! So, thank you!
Got a Laser break calliper tool from Halfords about 12 years ago for my Mazda 626.. still using it today on my and missus focuses ;)
Very useful tool indeed!
Another great video Alan! I wish you had made one for a clutch job on a 1.8 tdci ;) coz I made use of your 1.8 tdci wet timing belt video twice now :)
cheers for the comment bartosz k😁
Greetings,
WOW what a brilliant detailed video 🇺🇸🍾🎉🇺🇸.
It gave me enough confidence that I can do it, keep producing more videos.
Good to see you back brother 👍 Are work levels for the taxis and garage getting back to normal ? Plus that Transit comes in an electric version which apparently does 315 miles : do you know anything about it ? 🧐
cheers m ac, yeah it is slowly getting normal, most cabs are now back on the road, i did not know about the electric transit, will look out for it
About time Ford got the quality of those wheel nuts improved, they've been rubbish for years!
I use the sockets with the extra. 5 mm fir fir chrome cap wheel nuts , have had fun before with nuts stick in sockets , just bought the 19.5 mm and 21.5 mm sockets for fords great video Alan , nice to see you and Miss M 😂😂👍👍
i never knew they made oversize sockets for this reason😉i do now, cheers mike😁
@@alan4x have a look on flea bay Alan , they do them there
Less than a tenner , us pro socket for new style custom 21.5 , double ended socket I use a 3 inch long extension inside as they are a straight thru socket , also available in 19.5 mm and landrover sizes to 👍👍
@@mikeberry304 flea bay lol
Always look forward to your vids Alan.
cheers paul, have a good one
Thanks Al I needed that for my Sons 9 seater.
cheers 😁
Good one. Give me a 1972 Transit anyday. Capri V4 engine . Zooom! Cops couldn't catch it lol
excellant, i been in one of those, loved it
When I do this job on my MkIV Mondeo and Mk III Galaxy, I pull the caliper and carrier off then remove the disc. Reattaching the caliper then allows me to wind back more easily and removing the disc every time the brakes are attended to keeps it from seizing on the hub. BTDT. Then pull the caliper from the carrier and regrease the sliders every time to prevent those from seizing. Reassemble and away.
I've never solved the swollen nut problem. Later ones seem to suffer from it less but I think it just goes with being a Ford driver.....
Hello and Happy New Year Alan and Monica ! Wishing you both well from across the pond .
Thank you for this video on the ford transit connect . My brother just purchased an American version , model year 2o13 . IIRC , it’s got approx . 156,000 mi. or so . We’ve got lots to learn of this vehicle as it is new to us in acquisition and operation . Well , wouldn’t you know , I had completely forgotten from an early video of your channel that there is no hood ( bonnet ) release in the drivers compartment , it’s of course under the blue oval on the front grille . Also forgotten that the ignition key opens it . Luckily the former owner informed my brother how to open the hood . We were concerned we would break the ignition key turning it opposite to unlatch the second catch .
Good old wd - 40 took care of that . We haven’t ventured into brakes yet but appreciate the how to on this model , albeit difference in model year . Of course being it’s an American vehicle of questionable maintenance record , we’ve much to get acquainted with .
No fear , Alan is here ! With the assistance of the channels star attraction , lady Monica , it is certain that there will be less surprises of one of these vehicles . I will add that I haven’t seen many of these vehicles privately owned as they serve mainly as service vehicles here in fleet operation . This particular vehicle recently acquired was the property of a chap who’s trade was plumbing and in a privately owned business . You can just imagine that since these vehicles are relatively new in this country as they were initially designed and built to European specifications . Of course , ours is a left hand drive with auto transmission . It’s in need of service but as my brother and I are seasoned do it yourself mechanics , a professional mechanics worst enemy in some cases , we will tackle all we can .
Not to worry , it’s our preference to handle repairs / replace in a proper fashion and not in a primeval fashion . Yes , one can find owners of these vehicles on videos here on TH-cam but I am personally inviting your guidance for future videos on the ford transit connect .
Of course the model your servicing in this video is a larger model , my brothers is the smaller version with the four cylinder engine .
As stated in this video , these are quite a bit more emissions items and hoses and pipes . Electrical , well we are getting a bit of that so far but luckily only just lighting . It may be fairly new , but it’s going to start racking up parts and money soon . An engine mount is in need of replacement as well as a headlight assembly . Well you can see where this is going but so far he is pleased with this new to us vehicle .
I’ve yet to hear if it’s fuel mileage record but am expecting a good report . If the evap trouble code should pop up again after we erased it , po442 i think ? , we shall start looking around for pipes and hoses under the bonnet and by the fuel tank for evaporative equipment .
It shall be an adventure in learning a new vehicle but anything on four wheels has become a mix of less foreign or perhaps in this case , more foreign ? , to us as previously mentioned , we service our own to the best of our ability . Now , if ford would be sporting enough to arrange for the ford Mondeo to hit our shores in bigger waves , I would like to see one up close and personal . I’m sure there are some here but not close enough to get my hands on . Well , I’ve held the your attention long enough , looking forward to you both in 2022 !
Cheers to you both , health and happiness always . Bang on all,at Steve’s taxi as well ! Cheers !
nice to c u Alan mate every days a school day lol
Hi Alan great video as always, just wondering if you can do a video on a timing belt change on a transit 2.0 like what you are working on, a relation to me has had one done and it's gone horribly wrong, tensioner was so called faulty and smashed the engine, engine rebuilt then kept over heating now fitted another engine and that's playing up, I hear those engines are terrible as my local ford dealer said if it wasn't for the transit they would of shut the door through lack of work, all the best.
I’ve got a mk5 mondeo with those wheel nuts and the same thing happend to me,I replaced them with solid wheel nuts
The calliper wind back on the rear,one being clockwise and the other being counter clockwise is the same as a mk3 mondeo rear brakes
cheers david, all the mk5 mondeos we have we put the callipers into maintenance mode and then the pistons just push in
Yea mate,I used forscan when I did the pads and discs on my mk5
ahh the good ol tiger loop on the heater.
I've wound up the odd caliper piston in my time, and vice versa.
Nice video Alan 👍
On transits there an arrow on the calliper that also show the direction of rotation
yes thanks, i did not know that, i do now lol
Hope to see some new content soon Alan, but realise you're busy and there's only so much subject matter out there!
I wondered if you might do another live stream/Q&A soon? Really want to know what Steve's taxis going to buy when the Mondeo is pulled from showrooms!
Hope you're well. Thanks as always for all your content 👍
Hi 👋🏻 Alan. I could watch 100s of your videos on Ford mondingos or any other cars you work on 🤣 Take care cheers Stevie 😆
thanks stevie, lol, have a good one😊
The problem with the nuts arises from the use of an impact wrench. These nuts must be unscrewed by hand. Tested on Mondeo Mk4.
i had to look this up but yes there are several reasons from from dodgy sockets to dampness under the tin cover causing swelling , best to find solid wheel nuts, cheers tomc997
@@alan4x I was able to remove a few of these caps and use an 18mm wrench. It looks worse, but it works. Whole nuts are a good idea, but the availability of good quality is poor (only Chinese). Unless in the original Ford store, but the price again ... Lots of health, Alan.
@@tomc997 cheers
Hey Alan, he's back , been 2 long bud
lol, thanks plumbc007
How about a vid upgrading the speakers in a mk4 mondeo my standard one's sound terrible especially the bass. I think they must have substandard speakers.
Find a set of titanium X ones ( you want the ones with blue cones)
Did it on mine Stephen, give me a sign if interested
Swollen nuts, “Doc can I have something for the pain but leave the swelling”
lol🤣
welcome back Alan😎👍
cheers alexander, have a good one
Well Mondeo mkIII non facelift had the same type of wind back calipers that winded back in in opposite directions
yes you are correct, we still have mk3 here
@@alan4x still miss mine. But maybe this year i get my hands on a 220 st :)
Can it be better to open the bleed screw on the caliper when you drive the pistons in?
yes that is another option which could very well make the piston screw back in easier
The mk7 transit is just as awkward without the correct tool - I’ve found opening the bleeder makes it much easier
the next one i do i will try that method, thanks do one
Thank you!
The wheel nut balloons because of the use of the powergun when unbolting them.
They're not meant for that kind of treatment.

Not posting as much these days, love the videos. Would you honestly recommend a second mk5 mondeo and what are the key things to look for?
Talking about wet belts 2017 on 1.0 Turbo Honda Civic has just gone on the fixed price repair board at £1349 75k or 6 years, Going to be some angry customers !
Cut with an angle grinder if replacing disk?
I was using a 20mm socket on my mk5 mondeo wheel bolts, i assumed ford had used a 20mm nut 😂 replaced all of them for brand new ones, cost about £24 from ford
Alan can you put a 2.0 diesel into a 1.8 diesel mondeo . Is there any problem's tks
27:10 can anyone estimate the age of that hammer ? I'll say it was last seeing nailing someone on to the cross
Like triggers broom three new heads and twenty new shafts 😂
Them silly nut covers are a pain so I cut them all off and I have 20mm wheel nuts
your wheels won't look bling anymore🤣but at least you can change a flat tyre by yourself lol, cheers marcus
Hi iv got a ford mondeo mk5 and it's come up with code p24c7 am I right in thinking this is the particular matter sensor
Hi Alan, I'm an avid viewer of ur channel. What's ur views on a 2017 Pro cab Taxi?? Are they any good?
Kind regards
Where are you based Alan, if one wants to come and service and repair the cars?. I've searched your company online to no avail. Unless you dont offer public car work. Please let me know thanks...
thers a special size socket for these on ebay do the for range rover and the other silly chrome cap nuts
after this video i have just learnt this oversize socket, thanks
@@alan4x no problem I only came across them for the new mercedes odd ball wheel nut have a strange fitment
What happened to your live chats ?
You,re video,s are great but monica is so pretty, i always like to see her 😁👍
thanks 5kull5😅
like the music
finding the music was the hardest and longest part of that video....youtube free music "called upon" silent partner
Hi Alan, I changed my brakes today and having parked on a slight gradient with a chock under the wheel, on driving it from the chock I grabbed the handbrake to stop it rolling back. It isn't working that convincingly now, but it is working with excessive travel. Any suggestions please? Much appreciated.
did you pump the foot brake a few times before you applied the handbrake after fitting new pads... you may have to wind the pistons back in and try again
@@alan4x I didn't mate, no. Just instinctively grabbed the handbrake to stop it rolling. 😂
Ahh ok lol. Well just wind the caliper pistons back in and pump brake pedal a few times before you touch the handbrake and it should be ok
@@alan4x many thanks for taking the time to answer, much appreciated.
That’s the first a transit that ran longer nuff to wear the pads out without loosing the diesel injectior
I used to take the tin cap off the nut and then use a 18mm socket
Will this be easy work Robert?
@@marinusapeldoorn6631 yeah but would need too carry a 18mm socket and a breaker bar with you because yiur normal one in the car won't fit
your right, your wheel nuts won't look pretty anymore but at least you can remove them
@@robertmustard1711 ok, will it be easy to remove the outer skin???
@@marinusapeldoorn6631 I use to knock a 19mm on it it will pull the outer skin off then put a punch therew the top and knock it out of the socket

Sweet that helped
That wiring under the dash looks well dodgy !

Funny how the lug nuts only swell up when you use an air tool on it
Take care of ur eyes,hubby...i love u to the moon and back 💋
thanks khennah, i will try not to stab myself in the eyes again, love you too❤️
Worn sockets cause most of the issues with these nuts
this is true, cheers vukiam
Hello everyone can anyone help me to get Alan's garage inf I really like to book my car
sounds like the wet belt they use on the 1 litre eco boost which is a big pile of shite
dont moan about the heater, the dealer I'm at it took them a year to fix it!!
omg, i know the heater i have here is old and its getting harder to find engineers who know how they work
"swollen nuts" you better get to the doctor mate double quicky 🤒🤒😷😷
🤣😅
Those swollen tin caps are prone to Dodge and other USA tanks ... think Snap on sell a 21.5mm socket to bash on specially for that purpose ... if you want to pay for it !! worn 13/16AF ?
Worlds gone made ... wheel nuts used to be for life of the car not just for when you need to take a bloody wheel off .... MORE EXPENSE !! someone making money out of it though
yes probably best to find a set off solid wheel nuts, cheers mondo
Alan where the F you been !!! Don't say January !!!
still getting over xmas dinner lol, not really had the time or material to make any vids but am constantly on the look out for content, cheers dan

Hi Alan good to see you back on a new video hope your keeping well .Great tip on the wheel nuts .I've got myself a mk4 mondeo 2012 20ltr psa engine so your videos will come in handy again cheers from Dublin Ireland 🇮🇪 👍
Hi Alan you can buy the same tool that's manual to wind the calipers back widely available.
and cheap.
cheers james, thats good to know
Can you make video of cam cover/rocker cover gasket change please mk4 Mondeo. (Not head gasket) cam cover 😊
if i get the chance i may do
The ford wheel nuts have had this stupid two piece design for years. Take them off and chuck them in the bin. Put on some aftermarker solid ones. Never have that problem again. Even more so when you are stranded at the side of the road with a flat....
good advise michael😉
The modern Transit Customs are terrific vehicles. No buyers remorse reported.
Its always good when an informed demonstration is shown & explained by an experienced technician. Another great vid Alan, thank you for sharing your extensive knowledge
thanks for your comment graham, have a good one
I had the problem with those wheels nuts on my car (Jaguar XF). Made worse by using the supplied wheel brace. I soon changed that, and the suspect nuts.
you made a wise decision
Welcome back Mr H - Happy New Year !!
cheers broomad, happy new year to you too
Thanks for the wheel nut tip fella , thats happened on my 2015 connect , can you reccomend better wheel nuts to put on ?
Swollen nuts were a problem with a 57 focus i had. I levered off the chrome cover, under it is a smaller size nut head that fits the next size smaller socket . Use a 6 sided socket NOT the 12 to get a good grip. I took off all the chrome covers after this and never had the problem again.
good move, may save a problem later on, cheers chris
Yep I too have the 19.5mm socket . This has been a problem on all ford's that use the chrome nuts and been around for years. If I have a ford to work on I grab the 19.5 socket.
If you want those nuts to last longer don't use an impact gun on them or crack them off with a bar first. All the cars I have owned since 2006 have had that type of nut and I have never had one swell up as I don't use my impact gun to crack them undone or to bang them up tight. My 2015 Mondeo still has its originals and they are still fine. 😉
good tip but the torque setting on that transit wheel nuts does seem a bit high at 200nm
@@alan4x yeah it is but it's not beating the hell out of them like the gun.
Thankyou 👍
It’s a tiger loop .. on the heater.

Hello. You should open the bleeder valves and let the old brake fluid out of the caliper , not push it back into the system. Regards
Don't forget the locking wheel nut!
