Well I finally had the time to replace the pads on my Logan, took off the front wheels and then realized I didn't have a hex 7mm tool :D... So wheels back on and went to the store, bought a 7mm Allan key and cut that with a grinding disk so it would fit into a 7mm socket. It did the job though :D. I used the 28Nm from the comments and also pushed the brake-piston back to avoid messing with the brake fluid. The brakes work fine but have to 'bed in' now. Many thanks for the video, it helped me a lot. Cheers

They´re well filmed, with quality details like DOF, lightning, focus, choice of lens. And of course, as everyone else says, they´re clear, thorough and didactical, even funny sometimes. Great work
Thank you for that comment. There was me moaning to my wife yesterday about how I wish I had a 'Unit' on an industrial estate lol I can't see any drawback to living in an industrial unit haha
Thanks for the video, I need to replace the brake pads but never worked on a brake fluid system before, so I checked for videos to prepare myself and yours looks very helpful. Cheers
Hi, very clear video, I like fact that you display the tools required before starting. One point though did you mention in your video the need to press the brake pedal repeatedly to build up pressure on the pads BEFORE taking the car back on the road? Keep the videos coming, I find them very informative.
Loved the video! Really useful for my first brake pad replacement on my Sandero. I have a question about the torque specs for the guide pin bolts. I've found a Dacia Duster workshop manual, and the torque specs for its guide pin bolts are 34 N.m. Would it be alright to set them to those specs? Since the Sandero is very similar to the Duster. Thanks again!
Good day sir! Very educative video! I will do it myself next time. A question though, is it necessary to apply some thread locker on the guide pins? Something like Loctite 243? Thank you and good luck!
Thank you for the compliment. I personally never have but I guess a drop or two of blue would be ok as it can still come back off relatively easily unlike the red.
Hello, very good informative video. Where did you purchase them lock-on Spanners you used in this video? I can’t seem to find anything like them online... I’ve never seen that type before. The closest I have is the basic flare-nut spanner. Ian.
Just a quick question - why would you not use the c-clamp to fully push the piston back ? Looks like it it does the job just as well as the special tool....
Good question and you normally can but on some pistons they have to be rotated back in as they have screw threads inside for the handbrake. Normally the fronts are just pistons and a C clamp would work fine.
Hello. instead of loosing the bleeder nipple , can I open brake fluid tank cap to allow brake fluid to go back inside the tank, without building excessive pressure ?
I think you can in theory and probably be fine but technically opening the bleed nipple is safer as your maintaining the correct fluid flow direction and not reversing its normal path.
No! If your car has ABS you could potentially backflow rusty, dirty brake fluid the the ABS module which is between the master cylinder reservoir and the calliper. This could be very costly. Open the bleed nipple and purge the old fluid, then top up. Brake fluid is cheap so why not just flush and bleed?
Hi Many thanks for this video. I hope you can help me. Could you pleas tell me if you have a manual for Dacia like they made in Haynes manual company? If no then could you please tell me where can I buy one? Many thanks for your help and I wish you a merry Christmas and lots of luck for your channel.
Hi I used a Renault Workshop CD from eBay as it covered some Dacia models. I don't think Hayne's do as many manuals now.

@@CoatsandGaiters Hi good afternoon. I hope you are doing well. Could you please tell me which place will you recommend to buy parts like brake pads, air filter etc for Dacia Sandero or any car? I come across a website where one can buy these things a lot cheaper than e-bay. m.onlinecarparts.co.uk/car-brands/spare-parts-dacia/sandero-ii/35269/10360/air-filter.html How will one knows if these are genuine or not. Wilko charged me £40+ for a similar product. Many thanks

Hi, I'm changing the discs and pads on my 2015 Sandero however no matter what I try I cannot get the wheel back on. It just doesn't want to sit back on the hub, the bottom half seems to be pushed out, only half of the wheel seems to sit on the hub. Do you have any advice? Thanks
Thank you for the question. Are the new discs exactly the same as the original ones? If you have the new disc in your hand can you physically get it to fit inside the wheel as it should with both the disc and wheel off the car?
@@CoatsandGaiters thanks for the swift reply. Yes it does fit. The problem seems to be the wheel wont sit on the round bit of metal protruding from the disc.
@@matthewellis9885 I am a bit confused as the round bit is part of the disc so I'd wonder if there was a slight model variation between the discs. If you had the disc in your hand and the wheel is it actually possible to place the disc inside the inner part of the wheel and put the wheel bolts into it and tighten as normal. Really hard without seeing a photo.
@@CoatsandGaiters I managed to get it back on. Had to almost force the bolts back on and tighten up then it sat flush on the wheel hub. The 19mm bolts on the caliper mounting bracket were completely seized and although I put a blow torch on them and wd-40 they just would not budge to had to end up leaving the old disc on. Is it normal for the pedal to travel more towards the floor before it starts braking? They do work but of course need bedding in. Thanks for your advice
Hi there, im replacing brake pads on 2013 duster, thankyou SOOO much for this video! However i got torque settings for the duster but its a list and doesnt mention slide bolts anywhere on it!!!! Can you help? Theres a caliper support bolt says 107Nm the rest all range between 4Nm and 28Nm, i can send the list if necessary as it covers logans and sanderos too! Steve
Slide Bolts dont normally need to be very tight. For example on the Renault Laguna the Guide Bolts are only 7Nm so basically hand tight. They don't hold the caliper on only allow the caliper to slide on the two bolts like rails.
Oh right, economic solution right there. But since where I live I couldn't find break cleaner, is it ok to use. Lacquer thinner since both are made of acetone.
@@grivious31 the only thing I would be careful of is the rubber parts, not sure if acetone would but if it swells the rubber like in the brake piston it could cause the piston to stick and lock the brake on. As long as its rubber safe I'd have thought it would be ok.
@@grivious31 I think its more a long term damage it may do. If you do use maybe flush it away with something else just to ensure it doesn't sit in a crevice somewhere. Maybe blow it all dry with compressed air if possible to ensure its all evaporated quickly after its done the cleaning bit.
I didn't bleed the brakes because I couldn't get the bleed nipple open when I rewound the piston back in, is this absolutely necessary to bleed the displaced brake fluid? Or can this be left out. If this step was skipped what are the implications? Thanks in advance
Ki Ka hi you should be ok as long as air has entered the pipe work. If you wound the piston back in forcing the fluid back into the reservoir without allowing air in then it should be ok. Technically the way I did it was the way the manufacturer advices. If air entered the pipeline the danger is air is compressible and so your brakes could be non existent or spongy which is dangerous. For future if you spray the bleed nipple with PlusGas penetrating fluid and work the nipple gently back and fourth it should come undone. Don’t snap it though or your have to drill the remains out of the Caliper. They are hollow so somewhat weak.
@@CoatsandGaiters Hello Mr. Thanks for your reply for the comments. I am getting ready to change brake pads and disc on our Sandero.

As almost all the doubts I had were met in the comments section, thanks for your sincere response to those as well. Wish you all the best with your channel. Keep posting new videos.
@@CoatsandGaiters hi thank you for the reply also I was wondering I'm having trouble putting back the brake caliper springs back as I find it extremely fiddly as they keep popping out in the end I had to resort to not putting them back in how important are the brake caliper springs ? Thank you
@@kika6718 Hi they are fiddly I have to say. I use a pair of pliers to bend them while pushing. If you persevere your get the hang of them. They are important really as they keep the pads away from the disc preventing unnecessary rubbing of the brake pad. Also you might get more clunking and general movement of the pad and caliper instead of them being as one like they should be. Make sure the holes are clear of any debris with maybe a small drill bit used with your fingers. Whatever you do don't snap the bit in the hole, hence I say fingers. Sometimes if you can get one person to hold the pin in position with the pliers and then you tap gently with a small hammer to get the pin into place.
Hi Brian can you jog my memory on what was 28nm? Which manual did you download? Is it a good one as I had no luck finding a decent manual for this car and need one.
There are two figures 28nm is for the guide pins which are threaded at the end and use an allen key. Ithink the 34nm value is for an alternative with a normal bolt and guide pin.
I think they had to watch the pennies at the time. They did buy new discs but sadly ordered the wrong ones and then missed the return deadline so ended up with discs that didn't fit the car.
