great video. One step I would do before pressing the pistons back into the calipers is to clean the seals. Warm soapy water and toothbrush. That way you are not pushing dirt into the piston bores potentially damaging the seals.
Thanks for the suggestion and hopefully it helps a few others. I'm not sure any of the dirt on the boot can reach the interor, the boot links to the exernal most face of the piston, so the bore and the piston body are always protected regardless. But, I always agree cleaner is better. Thanks for watching!
Hi there and thank you for your excellent videos that you are providing DB9 owners around the world. I am based in New Zealand and have a 2005 DB9. It needs both rotors and pads and I wondered if you had done a video on changing the rotors? I noticed and agreed with your comments on another uploaded video regarding rotor changes, torque setting, bolt reuse etc. best regards Tony
Well done once again. I’ve done one full set of pads on my DB9 since owning it and putting 35,000 mile on the car. Rear brakes wore fasting than the front and had to replace past month. Brembo brakes are easy to do and you hit all the high marks and details perfectly. I had EBC red stuff pads too. but terrible squeal and pulled out after just 100 miles to go with standard Pagid pads.
0:20 Just the brake pads cause the rotors are in good shape, 20:28 new rotor appeared (and caliper bolts also look like new) :D Waiting for the video about the rotors!! Thanks a lot!
Busted. Yes, I was doing both video series at the same time. Pads only changes will be more popular, but I am in fact doing the whole series on Rotors, Calipers, Sensors, etc. Stay tuned and thanks for watching!
I think you should get two. They are jolly good fun and can be very reliable. One as a weekend car, one as a fixer-upper or parts car, and then the usual Rolls for town and a Daimler for the country. Do let us know how you get along.
Superbly explained and produced. Thank you. Unfortunately youtube have now blocked anyone attempting to download any of your vids. claiming they own all rights to anything posted on their platform. If I may ask... where may I purchase a copy of all your vids? I have a 2006 DB9 and I badly want to maintain it myself.
Hi Could you do a video on how to replace the parking brake pads correctly ? I cant find any definitive information anywhere especially on the resetting of the handbrake cables when the pads have been changed. There's plenty of details on main pad replacement but the parking brake or handbrake is never covered. Cheers Rob
Hi James. I'm no expert on the Carbon Ceramic brakes for a DBS, but I would recommend that you only fit dealer supplied OEM brake pads in that situation.

Did you swap out to Wilwood rotors too?

Am contemplating a DB9 as a weekender. Subbed, looks like the perfect channel for me :)
Welcome aboard!

Hi, have you done a video on how to replace the brake pad sensor (wear sensor) I've changed my pads but same as you my sensor was destroyed

where is the video about the handbrake tool needed for the rear brake?

Very nice and well made video, as always.
Thanks for the kudos!
Hi I assume very similar procedure of not the same for Rapide S?
I think the process would be almost exactly the same unless your car is fitted with Carbon Ceramic Brake rotors.
Great video Steve. Thank you.
Thanks Gary!
How much is a set of pads and discs?
Great video, thanks.
Hi sir for a DBS as is a ceramic disc, do I should use only pads for ceramic disc ?
Hi James. I'm no expert on the Carbon Ceramic brakes for a DBS, but I would recommend that you only fit dealer supplied OEM brake pads in that situation.
@@Aston1936 thanks 👌
How much one set
I doubt you are using a 3/32 pin punch, as its 2,3 mm and has nothing to see with yours that looks like 4 mm minimum...
My rear pads have gone already only done 3000 miles
