- Welcome back to the Dadskillz cars channel and in this video I change the rear pads on a Skoda Fabia estate. The calliper winding in tool I used makes it super easy and is available with the below link:
UK Amazon link to the calliper tool:

There’s a nice set of videos available now on the channel from buying your first used car to how to maintain it, take a look!!
I’ll catch you soon, cheers!!

Thank you very much you saved the life of my brakes
You don't say ANYTHING about the fact that the caliper's piston comes out twisting/spiralling out, as @Semen indeed said as well.. Basically one side will be easier to push the piston back. The other side will be harder because the piston wants to go twisting in OPPOSITE direction to the twist/turn of the tool. That is THE TROUBLE that most people dont't know
Hello, does this mean you need 2 different tools push the piston back in for the left and right side?
@@nasibal1 yeap, that is correct and real. For one side you should have a left thread tool to push the piston, or using a technique of small steps (forward-backward) would will allow the piston to twist inward. The rear- left is the difficult one.
Heck. I just got stuck, I had never heard that there was two variants of this tool. I have one that should work for right side but apparently not left where I am stuck now…
@@nikazp You might be able to find a left hand thread tool to push the puston easier, BUT with the "strategy" of advancing little by little ..based on locking thread as you/me makes the turns to the right normally.. thereis a little push of the piston in opposite (rotation) directions. It is the play in the thread INSIDE the caliper that gives and the piston makes it's way to the left instead of right (as the other side of the car..) .
Easy 😉
Amazing video. Thank you !!!
Hello! On the right and left sides, the piston must be twisted clockwise, isn't it?
Great video cheers , I will use copper greese to make sure there all well greesed and long lasting
This is super easy, but to the point that now when I try to use the winding tool, the calliper refuses to move. thought I bought the wrong direction tool, so got the other one. NO difference. The brakes were not stuck when I took it apart. But the calliper wont move. It´s a Fabia so I guess the right direction is the one in this video. But what to do if it is completely stuck? (I´m currently on the rear left... In the video it definately winds clockwise. )
Is it seized? Have u tried putting your foot on the brake pedal to pump it back out slightly? Does it move?
@@dadskillzcars I will try that! Gonna keep trying today. It should theoretically move though. The brakes "worked" as they should before removal, although the pads were down to the metal. I´ll be back :)
Tried everything. It moves a millimeter, just so the old worn out pads barely worked. But it wont turn to wind in. Tried pressing in all kinds of creative ways, forcing turn with pliers, pumping brakes, fiddling with the hand brake -both the actual handle and the arm on the caliper that the cable pulls wich moves easily. I guess I´m looking at changing the whole thing... Well at least I now have the tools and know how for next time it´s brake changing season :) Thanx for the help though. I learned stuff!
@@mikaeliby387How did you manage to fix this? I’m on the darn rear leaft and can’t get the stuff back, need 2-3 millimeters… did not realize it needs to turn and also in the wrong way for my tool.
Which year model is this?
Think it was a 16 plate
