    Cab you copper grease the plate before you put the disc back on?

    • @DevsAutos
      @DevsAutos 7 годин тому

      That's a good question. Yeah, it's worth putting a bit on. You want to grease where the piston touches the back of the pad and where the caliper hooks around and touches the pad. If you check my Ford Focus ST brake change, you'll see exactly why you should grease them.

    How do you find using the can brake cleaner rather than a pump bottle, my work use the nappa stuff, also if poss can you put link in bio for for the brake grease thanks.

      It's great man, no issues at all. Great for cleaning up oil and gunk. I do have a pump sprayer so should bulk by my brake fluid but the cans work great. I've added the grease etc to my video bios 😁

    Rotor set screws are only installed on the vehicle for factory assembly I have never used those and I've gone through four vehicles neither has my father or anyone else I have known who works on breaks not even my co-workers and we all work for an AutoZone store they're not a necessity to your vehicle or your brake system they're literally there just to keep the rotors on the wheel hub while it's going through the assembly process

    I dont think it make a terrible mechanic if they tighten them down, most just need to be taught. But good video. Dont need to down people. Been a mechanic my whole life and im a aircraft mechanic by trade. Its a really big area where a lot of people just need a little instruction.

      Cheap discs/pads can cause noise, also not greasing the slide pins properly, also dirty inbetween the discs and pads. Could also be the brake dust shield behind rubbing against the disc

      ​​@@drew661000 that's right, you only really need to change the spark plugs if the engine is misfiring, or if they haven't been changed in a very long time. This is a fairly low mileage engine that runs sweet. As a side note, the 1.4 petrol engine in this video has a DSI engine that uses 8 spark plugs (2 per cylinder). If anyone does need to change them!
