Great vid! About to tackle this on our Ford KA MKII Diesel. Pagid pads T1832, would I need to put grease on the back of those?

[@aaanton11]

its up to you, like I said in the video its not necessary just personal preference, Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠

[@GraceSavesGrace]

Is this the same as a Fiat Punto pop 2014... I am going to attempt to do this myself 🙏 God willing I don't mess it up🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@aaanton11]

Yes very similar Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠

What does the sensor do I didn't put my 1 on

[@aaanton11]

[@newportnp1970]

@aaanton11 over now pit it in also had 2 change the drivers door handle I found once I got it out it was easier to file a bit of metal off to put it back in

These look a decent little car do you think they are better or worse than the Peugeot 107 in your opinion

[@aaanton11]

107 all day long, Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠

[@pal555]

@@aaanton11 I bought a 107 fantastic car very reliable 6 months ago not skipped a beat yet happy days

[@johneturbo]

I would recommend using an axel stand also using something to hold up the caliper rather than let it hang on the brake line👍

Hello Aaanton I have a question for you , Wife's 500 has solid disk in the front , can they be replace with the vent heither single or double ? Thank you for your advise John

[@aaanton11]

The brake calliper would also need uprating to take the wider disc, Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠

[@luciofelix578]

I use something to hold the caliper is much better and i clean the calipers all the time and use copper greas that make them move more free Sometimes wash it with jet pressure and apply spray grease on it (not on the disks)..o use brake cleaner.. very eady to replace pads and disks....

[@aaanton11]

Thanks for the great information👍🏻👍🏻🛠

[@markholyoak9790]

I have a question for you aaanton. I looking to buy an electric Milwaukee ratchet, which one for you recommend?

[@aaanton11]

Theres only one to get and that's the m12 3/8 fuel link is Milwaukee 3/8 brushless ratchet amzn.to/3BtcZ35 Thanks Mark for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠

[@StupidBlokeStupidVideos]

Quick tip for anyone planning to do this job. Fiat 500/Ford KA are pretty much the same car, but be careful when ordering discs and pads for them. Some have vented discs and some don’t. If you fit the cheaper solid discs where vented are supposed to be, the discs are too thin for the calliper bridge and the pads can fit between the disc and the carrier when they start to wear down and the pad gets thrown out, potentially leaving the driver in the somewhat less than ideal situation of not having any brakes.

[@aaanton11]

Is the diameter the same on the vented discs? Thanks Tim for the great information👍🏻👍🏻🛠

[@StupidBlokeStupidVideos]

@@aaanton11 yes mate. They’re the same dimensions but thicker. I’ve heard a few stories where people have fitted the solid ones in place of vented without realising it, or to save a bit of money and the pads have been thrown out about 1000 miles later 🤦‍♀️

[@Anthonyn2]

Did those new caliper pins come with the discs or did you buy them seperate?

[@aaanton11]

They came with the brake pads, Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
