Wow, what a great camera angles showing everything in crispy clear details and giving a brief overview of the whole process makes is even better. Keep making great videos like this 👍
Hi, hope you can watch my video too!
Here's a video of me using a diagnostic device to replace the rear brake pedal on a Ford: ua-cam.com/video/i2G700vWzv8/v-deo.html , you can watch it, maybe it will help you!
Nice vid. I'm steeling myself to do the pads on my 57 C-Max for the first time. It's identical to the Focus in the video. Thanks for boosting my confidence!
The most important part to get clean is the hub where the disc sits, you should get that area spotless and get all the rust off as just a tiny bit of rust will make the disc wobble and it will be worse than before.
Nice job mate. Worth taking the sliders out and giving them a clean then grease up with some silicon grease.
Nice instructional my man. Just about to replace discs and pads on a C-Max....this is great help.
I'm glad its helped!
Good video - Car repair taught by a guy with a classy English accent. Couldn't be too much better. Well - maybe if I could have talked someone else into doing my Focus brakes but,.....
Great job, mate! Camera angles are most useful.
Awesome mate ! so long since i did something like this.. almost 20 years since .... :P very good video!
This was a different video,worth watching though,top work fella.
Glad you enjoyed it steven
I am about to do this on my 2010 Transit Connect, cheers for the video.

Very well explained will be doing mine very soon many thanks
Glad you enjoyed it.
superb ,hope my mechanic watches this
That was very informative 👍
Great video. Im changing mine next week 🤞
Changed my brakes today. Took me a lot longer to do. I need to invest in hex key bits. I had a couple of bars (possibly struts) in the way. Mk 3.5 ST. Thanks for your video it helped me massively. Can you please do a video on a BOV for an ST mk3.5 🙏🙏
good one m8 that was a welcome brake for vw heaven first class
Im glad you enjoyed it.
great video! how much torque do you use on the different bolts?
Good video well executed
Thank you.
Nice video. I could probably do this myself on my focus and save some money. Wish I had a driveway though ha.
I've done them at the side of a road before.. But becareful for passing cars!
Can you remove the spring before the two bolts? Looking at painting my callipers on the car without taking them off aha
There’s quite a lot of rust underneath for such a new car imo, great video as always btw
Thanks dude.
Torque to tighten the rear brakes 13mm? Tq to tighten for the sway bars? (2014 focus st)
Hello....which brand of rear discs and pads do you recommend for a C-max 2014 120kw...for normal driving, but the pads that are not too hard....thanks for the info
very well made your video. Thks

I like doing this and keeping it standard.. No grease, no copperslip. Only sliders lubed. Still works for me with 47 years experience
That's good.
Cheers bro 👌
Thx bro ❤️
Thanks for showing us. i liked idea of the piston suppress tool did you buy or make ?
its nice that ford are actually thinking things through ,like the hole in rear brake caliper to get the socket through,its a pity the made a right hash of the bonnet catch.I was thinking of putting clips through like they have for rally cars but theres no way to anchor them theirs hardly any metal on inner wing .gonna have to think about this ! cos i dont want to get caught out with cable broke,needs sorting beforehand .Might make a vidio of it for my channel.
Nicely done there just did all new suspension and brakes at front of mine yesterday ,its good when you can save yourself some money from rip of garages .Take care Ant from sunny Wales.
You can buy the kit for wi ding back the pistons on Ebay, cheap too.
I bought the tool for my 2010 Mondeo but it didn't fit the C Max, the little dowels were too big and too far apart, flipping typical, so I just filed one of the dowels to fit one of the piston holes the other dowel resting on the outer edge, didn't bother with the pad shaped plate that was part of the tool, just used a bit muscle power while twisting and it eventually got the piston back in. If that doesn't work that can put some pressure on the piston and twist the piston back in with some grips, bit rough like!

I love coated brake discs! 😍
Yeah I'm hoping they will last longer before the edges have surface rust.
Bluudys Garage I always have them fitted, they look better if you've got alloys
@@priteshchampaneri4706 totally agree.
Hi,if your doing front and back discs and pads do you pump brake pedal after you've done the front or when you've done all four?very helpful video thanks.
Of your doing all 4 at same time. Do it at the end.
Dude I'm new to your channel and fully subbed now no offence intended but you like Jeremy Clarkson love child lol keep up the good work
Jonathan Bloomfield he is
@@Phil-1969 I really am. Glad your subbed!
Bluudys Garage I know you are clarkson is from up north , that’s how I worked it out along with the hair

This maybe a silly question but some caliper tools have left and right compression screws. Does this apply to the Focus brakes?
Yes it does. :)
Can I ask what rewind tool you used? Got mine all stripped today just to find my rewind tool didn't fit.......
Ebay.
Hello,
I have a small question ! I hope you can answer it please. Recently i have installed new break pads in my car both front and back. After installing the breakpads my car breaks are making squelling sound . Same sound like when break pads reach to wear limit and need to replace. Since I have new break pads what should i do? And if i put my car on jack !!! How free wheel should rotate with the hand? Do breaks drum get hot if yes how much ?
Thank you in advance.
The back of your pads should have an anti-squeal backing, but if not, apply some ceratec grease or similar to the BACK of the pad and to the corners of the pads that sit in the carrier. This should stop it. If not, you might have a seized calliper that isn’t retracting or you need to grease your slider pins.
Nice video fella,it's worth using a bit of penetrating oil on the bolts to make them a bit easier to move,otherwise spot on
Only if your struggling. I try to avoid using the stuff when working on or near brakes, unless I'm completely stuck. Thanks!
@@bluudysgarage I see what you mean but if you're changing your pads and discs it wouldnt matter if you got some oil on them.I had to use a breaker bar to loosen my caliper carrier bolts,otherwise no problems which make a change,I dont have a tool to push the pistons back so just use the handle end of hammer and some pushing,lol I'm not a fan of the brake master cyclinder hidden away under the scuttle
Need to
Do anything about the handbrake cable? Take it the handbrake isn’t applied when performing this?
Handbrake you leave connected on the caliper but not applied in the car.
@@bluudysgarage thank you that’s helpful
@@alexevans5864 no problem
I was going to do this myself , but it actually worked out cheaper taking it to the garage for them to do it? How come?
Depends on the quality of pads and discs they use.
I thought you not meant to jack the sill up with a actual jack and that only for them crappy emergency ones
I've just done the same job.
Did you need to adjust your handbrake after this work??
My handbrake runs up to 10 clicks until it brakes, after changing rear brake discs and pads.
I did yes. Theres a nut at the side of the handbrake lever. Pull off the gaiter to get access.
Thanks for the feedback.
I have a Ford Focus 1.6 D Hatchback 115Hp, 2012. Not sure if i have the same console as on your Ford.
My handbrake pull is placed more on the front left side of the console.
Do you have any instruction video "how to do it", with this sort of console (handbrake)?
How can I adjust the Handbrake ?
I put new pads on but the Handbrake pulls up 7 clicks , whereas I’m used to 3/4max clicks
Did you manage to do this? You have to do that via the centre column in the car and remove a number of trim pieces to access it near the handbrake lever, depending on model and trim level. It’s one bolt, with a locking nut on the top. I think it’s 13mm off the top of my head. There will be vids on UA-cam somewhere if you never got around to it.

I haven’t a clue I gave it to my mechanic to sort out ,, but it needs it periodically
That job was spot on. Did you lubricate the caliper bolts? It is best to use lithium grease on them. Copper grease can be used which is better than nothing. You do resemble a young Jeremy Clarkson. You just need to work on the Yorkshire accent (where are you from?). I'm considering a Mk4 Golf as my next project car and your Golf videos will be useful to me should I get one.
Originally mansfield. Now in Leeds.
No I would never put any form of grease on bolts.
I meant the sliding pins for the caliper (the ones you use with the 7mm Allen key) they do need lubrication (not on the threads!) so that the caliper can move freely. Sorry for the confusion! I work in Leeds so I'm not a million miles away from you. You must be near the airport because I can hear the planes in your recent videos. You must be right under the flight path.
What year was that focus pal?
2012.
why did you not silcone the pins? did you forget?
I may have forgot to show. I used copper grease.
@@bluudysgarage copper grease destroy rubber I use silicone grease because Silicone grease is commonly used for lubricating and preserving rubber parts, such as O-rings. Additionally, silicone grease does not swell or soften the rubber, which can be a problem with hydrocarbon based greases. It functions well as a corrosion-inhibitor and lubricant for purposes that require a thicker lubricant
@@markholyoak9790 then I think we are confused. Aa the sliders I thought you were referring to are metal and only touch metal. No rubber.
I guess you need that special tool to compress the caliper! Regular C Clamp won’t do it for me!
Yes, because unlike the front pistons which just push straight back in using the old pad and a big c-clamp, the rears need to be rotated back in. I made a simple tool using a disk of hardwood into which I installed two screws of appropriate shaft size to fit the two holes in the piston face... cut the heads off after screwing them in. Then threaded a large hex head bolt through a hole in the middle to provide a means of turning it with a ratchet. (Hope that makes sense! It was quicker and cheaper than going back out to buy the proper tool when I first discovered this!)
Front ones??
They didn't need doing. The process is very similar. Normally the front calipers squash in with some big grips and not wind back in.
Where ya from fella!!!
Originally mansfield. Now leeds.
Lol not far pal
@@shanebrookes1878 :)
Brakes will be shit until they bed in. You can watch videos on how to do it or just drive careful for the first 200 miles.
Yeah tjats correct. 100 to 200 miles and avoid harsh braking if you can.
First!
I just use a c clamp and old brake pad to wind it back
Not on the rear
@@jasoncaine2600 my rears are drums , so thought it would be same
Them discs didn’t need cleaning there painted not greased
Always best practice to thought. Then you should never forget to.
I'd have to agree ,you dont need to cause they're coated.
you need to give your father in law a stern word putting them shite tyres on a ST
Not an ST.
