Attention! This video contains mistakes: 3:12 - the tightening torque is 110 Nm, not 90 Nm. 3:38 - the tightening torque is 30 Nm, not 35 Nm. We're sorry for the inconvenience 🙇♂
Nice video. Just a thought, but I'm not sure I'd want to suggest spraying the copper slip on after doing the degreasing; someone a bit less careful might accidentally get some copper slip on the friction surface. I prefer to apply copper slip to the centre of the disc with a brush before degreasing the friction surface with brake cleaner, but each to their own.
Only problem I had was a very rusty disc retaining screw loads of oil hammering and gently working back and forth with my electric impact gun at low power and eventually it came loose, I wish they would use a deeper fat key socket on that ! Any way thanks again for the video 🙂

Thanks. The subtitles really helped.
Great tutorial, but there is a mistake in the tools required, you need a torx T50 bit not T30

2:10 It's not T30, you need a T50!

how comes you didn’t use a bleeder kit to stop air getting in to the chamber or is not necessary
This is not necessary; you can find information in the technical documentation for car repairs.
2003 R50 base in the US has a T50 Torx rotor retainer screw. This video says T30. Don't be fooled.
I was thinking that but what about Europe?
@@williambonac8157 Same, T50, i bought wrong bit and found out after i took all my wheels off :s
@@atakan196
Last person to work on my car snapped the T50 so I didn’t have to worry about it
Even in Europe it is a T50
