[@Dentwido]

this was very helpfull. Altough i have a mk4 focus, everything was exacly the same, might even be the same parts

[@jessehernandez2796]

Awesome video

[@HappySoleyxx]

Great video. Perfect demonstration and filmed beautifully. Well done. Liked and subscribed 😀😀😀

In rear brakes, you have to rotate the piston or you can push it like in front?

[@mikereynolds1981]

Hello, right now I'm doing my rear and I can not get the back right side piston to go in. Any help would be appreciated. Ty

[@ricardocoreas135]

A c clamp and a brake pad should be good enough also to push the cylinder?

[@BLUECOLLARGARAGE]

Yep c clamp works perfectly fine

Thanks!

I'm doing my rear ones tomorrow, this was very helpfull, I need to remember the cap on the reservoir. Have you got any tips on a sticky e brake spring? the one on the caliper? mine keeps sticking and not releasing the e brake.

[@BLUECOLLARGARAGE]

I would just inspect the cable and I don’t think they sell just the spring separately I think you’d have to buy a whole new caliper.

[@Fredrik_ST_wagon]

@BLUECOLLARGARAGE I did, and the spring is just fine. My problem is the wire. It's sized. I managed to lube just a little, but i think i need to change, i guess.

[@josephsmith7996]

Probably need to put it into matinanance mode.

[@jessehernandez2796]

I have a 2019 Camaro Lt1, has E-Brakes...Ill soon need to replace rear pads, by any chance do you have a video on how to retract brake pistons

[@BLUECOLLARGARAGE]

Sorry I do not have a video on that yet. But here is a good write up on how to www.paulstravelpictures.com/2016-2021-Chevrolet-Camaro-Rear-Brake-Pads-Replacement-Guide/

I did my buddy's focus and he did not have that caliper . I had to rent a specialty unit to screw it down in . First I had to put his computer into a maintenance mode

[@BLUECOLLARGARAGE]

This was a 2012 so ford must have went with that caliper setup on the later models.
