I've just changed the pads on a 2005 Daihatsu Sirion 1.3 and it's virtually identical to this. I had a service on a VW Golf at a main VW dealer and the brakes needed changing all round. When I picked up the car they said everything was ok and it had been road tested. When I pulled away in the car I nearly ploughed into cars in their car park because they obviously hadn't pumped the brakes to seat the pistons correctly. They also told me that they had washed the car, I complained because the wings were covered in black hand prints, their answer was that they washed it and didn't valet it. I would expect better from a main dealer. I had just spent £1100 on parts and labour

[@screwsnutsandbolts]

Wow, that's pretty bad alright !

[@Passengervehicles]

Good work !

[@screwsnutsandbolts]

[@raymondjr.1080]

Thank you for the video, you can also use a clamp if you don't have access to a retractor.

Yes, but be careful not to damage the rubber piston seal or any other part of the caliper :)

[@tonylam9548]

What a fancy tool to push the cylinder back in. I just use a "C" clamp or a large slip joint plier. But before I push the piston back in, I use a glass syringe and I inject old brake fluid under the dust boot. A rag catch the excess as the piston been retracted.Since I started doing that 35 years ago, I never get another seized caliper.

[@axios76]

I think this tool is for caliper pistons which are not pushed straight, but has to be rewinded.

[@paulabes4220]

@@axios76 it's for rear brake calipers that have and internal e brake they need to be rotated back in when compressing the caliper piston. these type can be used on front calipers to.it also helps to crack the bleeder screw to relieve the pressure when compressing the the caliper piston. Just remember to add brake fluid and to bleed the brakes. Also you should take out the pins that the caliper slide on and put new lubrication on them and reinstall.

[@filibertotrevino6918]

Great video! What's the torque that nuts need to be put to?

[@screwsnutsandbolts]

34 Newton meters (25 foot pounds)

[@simonsuen8096]

Excellent video. One question: how can I turn the steering wheel to one side with only one wheel jacked up? Thanks.

[@screwsnutsandbolts]

I would advise jacking up the front of the vehicle and supporting it using axle stands on both sides of the car. If you only jack up one side and then turn the wheel that's still on the ground, it could move the car a little bit and possibly make it fall off the axle stand supporting the raised side.

[@goldenultra]

Or you could turn it before jacking up anything.

[@falenmakokha8804]

I like it🥰

How big is the head of the tool you are using? I have one that is exactly the same only I am not sure it is the same size head.

[@helix9268]

Are we not inhaling brake dust at every stop light every road that we're on?

[@tvpfox]

Questions. What's the threadlocker for? To lock the thread I'm assuming. ..but why? What is the specified torque of the refitted 14mm bolt? How do you retract piston without the tool?

[@screwsnutsandbolts]

Threadlocker is used where vibrations may cause nuts or bolts to loosen. The torque setting is in the video description, it's 34 Nm (25 foot pounds). Here's a video showing how to retract a piston without any special tools (for front brakes): kzbin.info/www/bejne/e2fMpKJvorucbsk

[@willie3528]

Can i just use a c clamp or do i need the special tool for the brake

[@screwsnutsandbolts]

You can use a clamp or other tools as long as you're careful not to damage the piston seal or any other parts of the caliper

[@thecomptech2113]

Do you need to crank open the caliper bleeder valve when doing it? Thanks

[@screwsnutsandbolts]

No, but keep an eye on the fluid level in the brake fluid reservoir as you push the piston back as it will rise. Remove some fluid, if you need to, to stop it from overflowing.

[@denisbelikov9114]

@@screwsnutsandbolts why people open the bleeder in other videos? Or its just that yaris has a simpler system?

[@screwsnutsandbolts]

What should I do to retract the piston if I don’t have a wind back tool?

[@screwsnutsandbolts]

There's plenty of different ways to do it with the push back pistons. Here's a video that shows a few different methods: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aYO8eGOvorx4fKc

[@brothernero8428]

what can be an alternative if you dont have a tool to pull back the brake piston?

[@LeitoAMGMusic]

You put something on the pistons , what was that and why did you do it ? Thanks

[@screwsnutsandbolts]

It was copper grease on the back of the pads. It helps stop the brakes from squealing

[@LeitoAMGMusic]

@@screwsnutsandbolts i mean about retracting the piston at 4:58

[@screwsnutsandbolts]

@@LeitoAMGMusic That's a tool for resetting the piston so that the new, thicker pads will fit between the caliper and the brake disk.

[@abrahamallen4506]

I have an 2006 toyota yaris i wanna no does brake pads when needing replaced is it back and front brake pads thanks in Advanced

[@screwsnutsandbolts]

The front pads wear out quicker than the rear pads so you don't always change them at the same time. You will need to check each set of pads separately and only change the worn out ones.

[@jeffyork1780]

Is the job the same for the 2009 Yaris ?

[@screwsnutsandbolts]

I think it's a bit different, possibly like in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qIq1p2evntunlaM

[@teamawesome2171]

The old brake pads still looked good to use or?

[@screwsnutsandbolts]

These ones were in good shape but the ones on the other side were bad.

[@teamawesome2171]

@@screwsnutsandbolts 👍🏿👍🏿

[@jasonredden2691]

What happens if you leave the cap on the brake fluid reservoir? Won’t the caliper cylinder still compress?

[@screwsnutsandbolts]

It will still compress but taking the cap of relieves some of the pressure and lets you keep an eye on the fluid level as you reset the piston.

[@screwsnutsandbolts]

[@THRHER]

Did you bleed the brakes off camera? Or can i skip bleeding the brakes altogether?? Pls i have to change my own brakes today because i go to work at 4am tommorow😭🙏

[@screwsnutsandbolts]

You don't have to bleed the brakes. If it's done properly, no air should get into the system. After you change the pads, test the brakes and then break them in slowly. No harsh braking for the first 100km or so..

HFIRST OFF YOUR CHANGING VRALRS THAT ARE FINE SO A HUGE STEP YOU DIDNT DO IS THAT WHEN U CHANGE MY PADS TGE NEW ONES DONT FIT UNTIL I USE A C-Clamp to squeeze clamp back so new fit. You changed pads that were still good so u dint need to squeeze. Huge mistake step. Video was abosolutu no hp as I'm trying to fund out how to do it w/o a c clamp. So good job on brushing metal away, poor overall as I've stated above why. Lee's time working about Mets shaving hitting rotor. They will not allow Me to drive the car if I clean them off. Rotors are easy to buff. Metal to metal. So come o now
