Just a side note, electronic hand brake version you can just push the piston back in. MANUAL handbrake you have to wind them back👌
Excellent
Thank you for this clear and concise explanation video. I had my phone playing it right next to my car as I did the discs and pads, front and back today. £300 is a bargain compared to dealer prices 🙂
Fantastic to hear
Excellent video. Thank you for making it so easy to watch. All the details were in there, including socket sizes. Brilliant.
Perfect, thanks for the great feedback 🙏
I have chamged my rear discs pads watching your video, flawless explanation. Thank you so so much.
Fantastic, pleased this video has helped. Thanks for your feedback
Excellent video for doing this job. Thanks for showing me how!
Years ago I used to do all my own maintenance but I was lucky to have company vehicles so I got out of the habit. Saved a small fortune after Ford replaced the offside rear disc due to uneven wear under warranty but the fault returned.
Just worked out fine on my '20 mk 3 Kuga. For others with the same model the parking brake release is slightly different in that you turn on the ignition, press the accelerator, press down on the park brake switch - this gives a message 'press brake pedal to release brakes' and all done! Once done, just turn on ignition and pull up park brake switch and it resets.
Great, thanks for sharing 👍
Thank you for sharing, just replaced both rear disks and pads and didn't know there was a sequence to put it into service mode. Keep up the good work👍
Thank you very much
Thanks for sharing. I didn't know the service sequence and searched here before I replace my back pads.👍
Awesome, please to see it helped.
Hey William, Love your video's helped me and so many others so much. Just wanted to say thanks and keep it up.
Thanks very much
Very useful video changed my back brakes yesterday, if anyone is interested the maintenance mode procedure works on 2018 car with auto gearbox , the 316mm dia discs are available from Euro spares most online sites will try to sell you 280mm dia. I tried to push the pistons back but no luck needed a wind back tool, only £10 but being cheap you could do with 3 hands.
This is where i sourced parts from.
Excellent guide thank you - only addition is that you can't get maintenance mode unless you start with the brake off (possibly that's obvious to others 🙂)
Nice one cheers
Thank´s for the instructions. I have ordered material and will try to do it by myself.
Excellent
Top man this was just what I needed to help with my brakes👍💪💪
Fantastic, pleased to have been of help
Great help All went to plan as the video. Couple of comments - bracket bolts very tight due to loctite. Did apply loctite to bracket bolts and caliper sliding bolts on reassembly
The sliders were greased but no locktight was used just ensured all bolts were tigh upon fitment
Great video. Perhaps worth mentioning that discs usually come with an oily coating which should be removed with brake cleaner.
Agreed, this step mustn’t be forgotteb
@@WilliamMurfitt The ones he fitted were coated discs and have no oil
A big help from that video FANTASTIC
That’s amazing to hear, I set out making these videos to help and when I hear they do it’s simple wonderful to hear 😁
SUPER. Très bonne explication. Merci à vous.
Thank you very much 😃
Great video great detailed explanation, Is this pretty much the same for a ford galaxy titanium 2016 with electric handbrake ? Thanks for any info 👍
Also doesnt the electric handbrake hold the caliper/pads onto the disc when you want to remove them?
@@markkimba74 thanks for the feedback
Good video William.
Good morning
Are these definitely an Allen key? A few places state they're torx. The Allen key obviously fits but you're in danger of rounding them and that's a world of pain
On this vehicle they were 100% Allen key headed bolts
good video but im sure they need winding in , also you need to fit the shims from the old pads to the new ones , thats what the sticker is for on the new pads .
The brembo brakes are fitted on high spec kuga. The st versions. I think the models below the st might have the wind back brakes
Perfect
Super information,Thank you
Thank you 🙏
Brilliant video!!!
Thank you very much
Also, I've always put loctite on brake caliper bolt threads. Maybe i missed it, but did you put loctite on ?
Another top video, thank you! Just a quick question, how can i tell if the rear pistons can be pushed back or will need to be wound back before i start the job? Its got electronic hand brake
Thank you very much, you can tell from the piston face, if flat it’s typically a pushback, if notches visible this is for a tool to wind back by careful as there is both left and right hand threads be sure you use the right tool
Good video William I am surprised they aren’t wind back calipers most of the Fords j had where apart from the escort
Lots of the modern ones are just a push back
Thnx alot for sharing a tecklodge
Nice work William great video, I shall be doing mine soon after being quoted £500 from Ford LOL
Ford will always be more expensive as main dealer rates are expensive.
One thing I would ask before attempting this pad replacement procedure is, where do you position the axle stands front and rear
Thanks for the video, I have never done my brakes before but this video has given me the confidence to give it a go. Is there no bleeding or anything required after the change ? I have the same car in the same colour 😁
No bleeding involved for this replacement. But dont forget to pump the pedal before you go on your first drive
I have always done brakes on my motorbike never do on car😁 I feel very confident to do as I was quotes £1460 for front and rear disc and pads in Pentagon Ford 😱 They changed my rear disc and pads last year for £220 and this year they said have to be done!! After 15k miles 🤔 what a rip off!!!!!!
WOW that's a lot of money. Main dealer parts are not cheap and the hourly rates are normally the killer! If you can do it yourself, or find a local friendly mechanic who fancies a little weekend work.
Great vid, I’m confused how did you get the piston back using your method as I thought rears are wind back?😂
Nope not wind back on this model, from memory it’s the brembo model brakes that are push back
Thank you
You're welcome
The piston, how do i know if it needs to be turned to push in? have tried clockwise with pliers but just turns or do i just need to do under pressure.
The wind back tools apply pressure and twist to aid with the pistons return
Going to be doing mine shortly great video one question once in maintenance mode do you switch the ignition off? From the video seems its left on when exiting the car
Ignition can be left on or switched off and the service mode stays on until switched back off.
Will this work on a 70 plate s line. I've been told it needs to be plugged in to wind the caliper back.
I'll be completely honest, I'm not sure. sorry
So the electric handbrake makes the job no more difficult??
Not really no, not sure if it comes to replacement of the caliper or electrical mechanism. But for the purpose of disk and pad replacement it was a doddle
how much did discs and pads cost
I followed the steps I can hear the brake motors winding in but no lights come on to say maintenance mode
Once wound back the light should come on. I don’t work on too many modern cars it took me a few attempts to get the light on
Good video but it's best not to use copper slip on the caliper bolts and use a high melting point grease instead.
Will, great video. I missed the brand of discs and pads??
Both were brembo purchased from eurocarparts
@@WilliamMurfitt thanks so much
I've got to save the Year Kuga and I had to wind the piston back in I disconnected electronic motor to be on the safe
Excellent. I'm not a huge fan of the electronic brakes but it's the way the world is going at the moment....
Hi what size hex to use open the bolt on caliper?
From memory it was a 7mm but im not 100%
Thought all fords needed wind back tool to push in piston
Apparently not, not sure if the varies based on models though?
How long would this typically take to do?
Circa 1 hour, if you just get on with the tasks in hand
@@WilliamMurfitt given what looks like a relatively small amount of time to do the discs it's worth doing both together.
Was there torque settings on the calipers? thx
There may have been, however I tightened by feel.
@@WilliamMurfittsliders are 35nm the retainer bolts are 175nm I dunno about the wheel ones
Just to help with putting the Kuga into electric handbrake service mode - I found that the process in the video did not work until I pressed down on the brake pedal as well. This was needed to enter and exit the mode.
This was on a 2018 Kuga Titanium 1.5tdci
Ford wanted 800 quid to do all four discs. Not sure thats going to happen........
Ouch! Hopefully this video helps to save you some pennies
For anyone watching Parking Brake needs to be in the Off Position before starting the Service Positions Process and you don't need a wind back tool as the Piston is a Push Conventional Job whilst in Service Mode 👊
Great bit of advice 👍 thanks for watching
How about fitting ANTI SQUEAL SHIMS to the sticky back of the pads? Exactly as designed to be....
Or maybe didn't teach you so well on your apprenticeship?
Why the sarcasm, I suppose you must be Mr perfect,not.
Never lubricate wheel studs, it will affect torque settings..
Thank you
You are welcome
