Changing MGB Front Brakes: Part II

We finish changing the front brakes on this MGB. They were making noise, but it's exactly the same if your pads are just worn or the rotors rusted and pitted. Changing disc brakes is one of the first jobs amateur mechanics learn after things like changing oil or a fan belt. It's relatively easy, requires no special tools, and you can see the difference right away (so you get that instant gratification!). Not feeling up to the task, and near Chicago?

Another Outstanding video and presentation.

Thanks again!

Helpful video. Thnx. for sharing it. Ill be replacibg my front splined hubs, bearings, brake rotors, and pads soon. Similar procedure except i have to press in the new bearing carriers into the new hubs, do the shimming procedure, and grease/pack the new bearings. Good stuff for both wire wheel MGBs as well as the four bolt wheels.

Curious why you did not install the caliper then pull the pads ?

[@midwestmotoring]

Good question--it would definitely work that way and is arguably easier. In this case it was force of habit. Most modern cars you can't pull the pads with the calipers on... so I instinctively put the pads in first this time. I don't always on the old cars, and you don't have to either. Both ways work, but good catch and thanks for sharing the comment!
