This video did show me all I wanted to know :) I am confident that by the help of this I could do the job myself but I am to lazy and lack the tools. My 2012 Ford Transit has leaked oil all over the right rear break discs.. I will get it fixed at repair shop in Finland before they close the border again in a few days because of the corona hysteria (1/3rd the cost of getting it done here in Norway).
My word Paul I'm going to have to stop watching these video's because they bring back a lot of memories of my younger days! (mixed feelings, boy did I get into trouble off my mum when I stripped my mini engine on the kitchen floor!)) You are so right about having the tools for the job. there's only so much you can achieve with a crow bar and a big hammer (ha ha). Thanks for this.
just a tip for you,i had so much trouble removing the 65mm hub nut,so i used a jack to jack the breaker bar,made light job of that,loosened realy easy.waiting for parts now.hope this helps others.
Thank you very much for your instruktive video, sorry for my English. Best wishes from transit owner in Norway. Who is performing the beautiful music. Greetings from Even
@@sharpeysgarage4758 the reason they wouldn't use stainless steel from factory is basically because of the galvanic corrosion between the stainless steel and the steel also stainless steel is not any good for structural used ie suspension components and running gear I would recommend going and changing these back to steal before the galvanic corrosion makes these things harder to get out than the original Steel ones
Mate, thanks for doing this video. It's excellent and helped me a lot. How did you go with those cheap seals? Hope you don't mind me contributing but for anyone reading who's in need of a big torque wrench; you can get the 430Nm required by hanging a 22kg weight on a ridgid horizontal lever at 2m distance from the center of the hub nut. This is the same as 44kg at 1m (if you have that weight available, enough vertical space to accomodate it and someone to assist) but is more manageable. Gym weights would be ideal but a bag of cement plus a couple of litres of water will also give you that weight in a compact package.
Thanks for the input Joel I am sure it will help as for the seals my van was stolen so I can't give an update sorry bud I've have bought a new one so the videos will start again cheers bud
Thanks for the video! very informative. I'm planning to do this work soon, however I'm having problems finding the stainless steel screws. Can you please help me find those or just quote the part number or something?
well i've started changing the rear discs,,,,,,,grub screws needed chiselling off. stuck now with that 65mm. hopefully someones got one or i'll be on hold until monday.
3/4" torque wrench cost me £125 which I thought was good value and was also a Teng quality tool. £25 for the 3/4" breaker bar. So will cost you over £200 just for the tools needed..
+Toby hi Toby I've not took discs of but from what I've read you will need a puller to pull the abs ring of and maybe some heat I was going to change discs but when I cleaned the discs up they weren't that bad so I would have a good look before you spend any money good luck buddy
Hi bud I got stainless m8 x 25 mm from screwfix needed to modify a little but worked fine the abs ring just prys out but be gentle they brake easy good luck bud
If you think this is hard then you have not tried fixing something on a Mercedesl ;) Sometimes it seems they have built the entire car around the thing you want to replace (heating fan and heating system in my case lol)...
Indeed, old school ,change the tyres with spoon, no fancy tools, good job man

Thanks and good video.
very helpfull video ..and yes you need to take abs ring off to change disk ..what a job just to do a disk ..
Cheers I didn't fancy taking the abs ring of so I opted for cleaning the old discs up thanks for the info though
6:07 You really did a better job then factory by choosing those screws
Thanks buddy I don't know why they don't use stainless anyway unless it's the cost

Great vid, how do you remove disc from hub if need replacing
Just doing mine (discs as well) - my hub nuts were literally finger tight! Had no bearing play, recent MOT. Most odd
the music and the accent makes car work, usually frustrating, meditative.
Impact driver for the three possi heads mate its a screwdriver you hit with your hammer get them at any motor factors 👍
Thanks sharpey, I diddnt spot the paper gasket you mentioned, which part is it? Many thanks

So I'm guessing the bearings are lubed by the diff oil. Did you put a bit of grease on them for the initial lube.
GREAT JOB. What transit model is it?
What size are the grub screws you replaced and where's best to get them mate?
The left side the screw turn left to put out or the same the right side
Thanks for the video! very informative.

Hi sorry for the late if your in the UK I got the screws from screwfix sorry I don't have the item number cheers paul
Avoid stainless steel as you'll end up with galvanic corrosion.
well i've started changing the rear discs,,,,,,,grub screws needed chiselling off. stuck now with that 65mm. hopefully someones got one or i'll be on hold until monday.
3/4" torque wrench cost me £125 which I thought was good value and was also a Teng quality tool. £25 for the 3/4" breaker bar. So will cost you over £200 just for the tools needed..
Do you need to apply wheel bearing grease?
How are the cheap seals holding up Paul?
brilliant video buddy not looking forward to buying that big socket ,,,,......
Great video once hub is off is it hard to remove discs?
+Toby hi Toby I've not took discs of but from what I've read you will need a puller to pull the abs ring of and maybe some heat I was going to change discs but when I cleaned the discs up they weren't that bad so I would have a good look before you spend any money good luck buddy
hey sharpey,what size are the grub screws ,i had to drill mine out.thanks
Hi bud I got stainless m8 x 25 mm from screwfix needed to modify a little but worked fine the abs ring just prys out but be gentle they brake easy good luck bud
@@sharpeysgarage4758 thanks,keep up the good work

مرحبا اذا ممكن قياس جوان سبي من فضلكم شكراً
the engineers sure didn't make this job easy did they.
If you think this is hard then you have not tried fixing something on a Mercedesl ;) Sometimes it seems they have built the entire car around the thing you want to replace (heating fan and heating system in my case lol)...
65mm soquete is very expensive .
