    A job well done :-D
    You just dont realise how bad the pads are untill you compare them to new ones, a massive difference!!.
    Leaving your mistakes in the video is really good, the viewer remembers the mistake and doesnt make it, its all learning, its all good :-D

      zx8401ztv Thanks so much for your comment and you are absolutely right. We have a video coming out today on a timing job for a Chrysler Jeep, 4.7 V8 engine and the poor guy paid over $3,000 to have someone do the exact job once. He made a few simple mistakes, that ended up causing the timing to slip and bend a bunch of valves. Had he watched someone else do it, I'm sure that it would have saved them alot of heartache and that is exactly why I do these videos. I try to simplify the process and help people out. Plus, its cool to make mistakes because nobody likes that guy that ALWAYS gets it right the first time..lol!!

    great video, thank-you. for anyone who cares, the lug nuts are specified to 87 ft. lbs. I have learned the hard way never to assume it is around 100 because having drilled out lug bolts for broken nuts I am telling you, don't over-torque!!!

    Helpful for a 2010 vw beetle!! Remember caliper grease! Whoever change the brakes on my car before me (it’s only been mine for a year) didn’t use caliper grease and I had to smack the calipers off off with a rubber mallet.

    Judging by the sirens in the background, it sounds like a pretty safe neighborhood. Where is this? Waterloo Iowa? LOL! J/k thanks for the info.

    Just 1 thing, place a oil matt under mastercylinder and take off the cap before compressing caliper pistons. Mastercylinder will over flow most likely. FUN

    Looks like those old calipers could do with some fresh O-rings and some grease as well. Thanks for the video, got my daughter a bug like this and I will probably need to do the same soon. Might throw in some fresh discs too.

    Mine started making noise 1 day ago and boom , done. They went out SO FAST at the end. Gave no time to make arrangements. Guess I'll be doing mine tomorrow.

      @The March Hare, unfortunately, that isn't uncommon on the VWs'. It sucks!

  • @johnbradshaw7458
    @johnbradshaw7458 3 роки тому

    Do you have any suggestions as far as putting the bracket back in to hold the brake pads I’ll see only thing I missed in the video I have a Mexico model so maybe it’s different I just can’t remember which way they went in but they are on the outside holding in the clip like most vehicles

  • @teresax.roberts785
    @teresax.roberts785 3 роки тому

    I put new pads and rotors on front and pads are scraping on rotor even when brakes arnt pressed. Need new calipers too or could it be something else!? Thank you.

    On my New Beetle you have to wind back the brake pistons with a special wind back tool which rotates and compresses at the same time.

    • @jamiejonesthecarman
      @jamiejonesthecarman  6 років тому

      yeah , i have that tool because alot of cars now use that method, i tend to use long nose vice grips

    You’re not supposed to use C clamps on Volkswagens. There’s a specific caliper tool that rotates the piston in as it decompresses

    • @fredsphoto69
      @fredsphoto69 4 роки тому +3

      That is on the rear that it turns back .and it is called a Disc Brake Caliper Wind Back Tool .
