Great video mate, I need to change mine, will be a first time for me. However, it should not be necessary to bleed the brakes if only changing the pads, if done correctly and no fluid is lost. Thanks for the tutorial. Much easier than I thought.
Put the removed tyre under the sill just in case the jack slips. Use long cable ties to hang the caliper while unbolted to save stressing the brake line.
In a perfect world with unlimited funds mate yeah you probably should. But if your finding that your brake pads have worn fairly evenly then i wouldn't really bother until maybe the second time around replacing the pads. Getting your local shop to machine them only costs maybe $50 a rotar at most so can be money well spent. Cheers.
Well the way that I look at it is that if you have cracked the bleeder nipple to help push the brake piston back into its housing then there is a possibility of a small amount of air getting into the line so best to bleed it anyhow. Plus flushing any amount of clean fluid through the system is always a bonus. But yeah assuming that you have room in your break reservoir and you manage to push the piston in without cracking the nipple then yeah probably don't need to bleed, Cheers mate

Thank you so much. I just changed the front brake pads on my VS using your video as a guide and it worked like a treat

Legend thanks bro
Hand brake got me too 😂😂
Legend thanks man
Thanks mate
No worries bud. Glad i could help out.
If your brakes are wearing like that, You have some serious problems with the calliper.
I was told that you need to machine the rotors each brake pad change so the pads wear correctly next set..

just be aware that it doesn't fit unless you curse & swear
you don't really need to bleed the brakes do you?
