Ford Mondeo Mk4 front passenger brake change (the easy way, lol)

[@NayNay1991x]

Love these calipers that have the bung type where the Allen key goes 🙌

Everyone who will be doing this take the opportunity to clean the hub, brake calipers, sliders, with a wire brush, apply brake grease to prevent rust from forming which can even warp the disc, or at least make it difficult to remove next time, sliders are prone to sticking, clean them well and lubricate them with brake grease that is resistant to high temperatures.

Good to see you again Chazz, if we don't get another video before, have a great Christmas.

[@ChazzCoombes]

Hiya Bill, there will be another video soon mate. Ive finally gotten myself a camera for the videos instead of keep using my phone.

[@IBANEZfil]

Great video mate, thanks for posting tutorials on the MK4 Mondeo. At 16:55, when you're tightening the caliper bolts, Ford spec says 200 Nm (148 ft.-lb.) but my torque wrench is too large to fit in there. Do you reckon it'll work to tighten them by hand instead?

[@eddieryan7639]

Are the front brake pistons wind back or just push back chazz ? I have same car as you 09 must do this job for first time tomorrow, the reason i ask is i have a c clamp to push back i dont have a wind back tool

[@ChazzCoombes]

Hiya Eddie, these where just push back

[@st220saloonrestorations]

When is the next st220 video mate

[@ChazzCoombes]

On its way mate. Been working on both at the same time. Sorting the mk4 out for its mot. Got more ST videos coming

Please please please before you jump in the car and drive off after changing the pads pump the brake pedal a few times to get the pads back into their operating position. You've pushed the pistons all the way back into the calipers to get free space to fit the new pads, you have to remove that space before the brakes work.

I made that very mistake a few years ago when I 1st started working on my old MK2 Focus. Ended up in the middle of the bloody main road, thankfully the road was quiet! 🤦
