ford transit - front discs and pads

[@ambulancekidd]

Excellent wee tutorial Jim. I've done a couple tutorials of my own, but a friend of mine has a front wheel drive Transit & is being charged nearly £400 for the work & I was certain that they're ripping him off. Unfortunately I didn't know his van needed this work or he would have been doing it at my place, I'm badly disabled, but I could have walked him through the job with your help. Keep up the good work.

Thanks for watching and commenting, yes they can be expensive cant they! Thats why I started making these sort of videos to try show people a way of saving money, All the best. 👍

£400 easy, one today took an hour to get off and heating and having the life smashed out of it Easy 3hr job if everything is rusted

Great video…Very helpful.👍👍

If you hammer the bearing carrier from the knuckle by hitting the disc surely you will damage the wheel bearing, unless it comes free very easily!??!

[@macdaddymcgrady]

What you should do is take two disc to hub bolts out, then screw a long bolt in through the disc to hub, protrude it right through and use it to press against the knuckle and push the hub away from the knuckle with a steady even pressure. Two bolts do the trick, one top and bottom, it’s very easy and effortless in comparison. Plus it doesn’t impact the bearing into the race so a lot less likely to Brinell the bearing.

What’s with the annoying strobe?

[@MaNNeRz91]

I break those abs plugs all the time.. the rubber seals inside are stupidly big. I take them out and it plugs in no problem. With a bit of non conductive grease to stop water👌

Great video, very helpful.

[@subiwrx1]

Cheers mate fiddle jobby on tomz

[@timgosling1205]

All in all pretty good, but you should tell people that the 13mm disc bolts are stretch bolts & should be changed never re-used and use a log bolt to remove the hub rather than a hammer.

[@Rogerdodger-z7x]

My disc won’t come off the drive shaft any idea why?

[@danman9017]

could you tell me the snap on tork bit part # for that t50

[@mrgcav6689]

Excellent video. Are 5 Lug hubs and 6 lug hubs interchangeable ?

[@gerryhayes6385]

Our 2015 ford transit custom is on its 3rd set of front discs and pads but then it does have 265000 miles on it 🤣🤣🤣

[@ALLTHINGSJIM]

Aha! Been around the world?? 😝

[@gerryhayes6385]

ALL THINGS JIM it has been a good van we have it form new it has earned its keep 🌍🌍👍

[@lewiscunliffe1051]

Blimey!...I’m on my 3rd set of front pads and on 1st disc still. Will need a new set of discs by the end of the year though haha always been stuck in my ways of using more engine breaking that the brakes lol😬. Nice video by the way including the spanner/socket sizes and torques is spot on, now I know il need a 36mm socket as the halfords box is only up to 32mm. Dunno why but the start of the video each section was flashing on the screen, weird. 👍🏻

[@karlsanderson8127]

265000 miles thats impressive is it a timing belt or timing chain engine

[@gerryhayes6385]

Karl Sanderson timing chain engine it has 282000 miles on it now 😀

[@chrispovey8328]

Do you have any advice if the T50 bolts are rounded off?

[@jamsstar2010]

Hammer the next size up into the head

[@stimacsays]

LPG torch and penetrating oil, in whatever order you prefer. Then hammer to chisel

[@kamrankeeb]

Hi, how can I contact you regarding some work I need doing? Thanks

[@jamsstar2010]

None come apart like that,nice try If its that easy to come apart we wouldnt really need the video

[@elmirabranch]

why is the video flashing

[@PCongeries]

Is the same instruction for front mk7 2.4 and mk7 2.2?? Thanks

[@chrislee7817]

You tap the hub off with a hammer with ease, however the transit hubs often put up a big fight and an extractor is a better bet.

[@StephenStephen-h2x]

No the disc is still attached to the van after tapping back the drive shaft

[@reecetaylor9518]

How did you remove the hub it doesnt just fall free

[@berndcassel2581]
