How To Replace Front Brakes Opel/ Vauxhall Corsa C

[@varvinpaja]

Hi! Nice video again 👍 Any reason why didn't recommented grease brake pad edges? And another thin why only silicon can Be used those other sliding parts 🤔 Good to have new videos 🤗

[@TheDutchGarage]

Hi there, you need to use silicon paste on the slide pins be course of rubber parts. Most greases will swell up the rubbers. The grease parts is a good one. The article I read I cant find it anymore. So i went to some manufacturers and read true there pages.(ATE, BREMBO, TRW, LUCAS) All of them do recommend using a bit of grease on the ends. I do believe I read it wrong in the article. So my advice: read the instructions of the brand you are going to install.

@@TheDutchGarage Aah ok 👍 yes now i remember to do one rubber Part washing with diesel and it didn't go well🤣 Part was next Day 2times bigger😅 thanks answer!

Just discovered this guy. Stunningly good intro explaining why you MUST check what brake combination your car has, not rely on internet information!!

[@TheDutchGarage]

The multiplied parts combinations are just getting worse and worse unfortunately.

Thanks for the video. I did brakes on my wifes Corsa earlier and just wanted to to brush up a little before I do them on my Combo. I also think it's a good idea to buy new sliding pins - mine were i a bit of a state (one on one side I even had two upper ones).

Great stuff as usual. I'm catching up on some of your older stuff. I like the fact that you don't waste money on lots of Snap on tools, just sensible stuff, like KS Tools and similar. I have a few bits of Snap on, Stahwille etc, but get by just fine with other tools that are very much cheaper, and do the same job. 🔧 🔧 🔧

A good tool doesn't have to be expensive , why spending a lot of money on tools that you almost never use.

Hey, great video! Would you say I can use copper grease where you used ceramic grease? Thanks!

[@TheDutchGarage]

Sure!

[@rayproductionsbackupchanne3862]

any additional tips for replacing the calipers too while i am replacing pads and discs? i never done any brakes before. and tought having "hard to move" sliding pins is a issue, but seems like on your video even after regreasing and cleaning, the sliders are quite stiff, i have new calipers/pads/discs and sliding pins along with all the greases needed here,

[@TheDutchGarage]

Maybe get yourself some new sliding pins, or try to clean the bore with some sandpaper. Replacing the calipers mean that you need to bleed the brakes!

[@rayproductionsbackupchanne3862]

@@TheDutchGarage i already got new sliding pins, they are just a bit tough to move like yours on the video, they might be fine. i used plenty of grease and removed any excess. but yeah i was already planning on replacing fluids with DOT5.1 so i needed a full brake bleed (and clutch) anyways

[@TheDutchGarage]

@@rayproductionsbackupchanne3862 Try to clean the bores with some sand paper. Or take a old slide pin chuck it in a drill and spin it into the bore to clean it up.

[@tommylarsson2025]

If the rims get warm is it because of a stucked cylinder or could it also be like yours that the slider is stucked so the caliper doesn't float as it should? Thanks!

[@TheDutchGarage]

That's definitely possible, but a bad bearing can also be the isseu. But brakes are more likely.

[@tommylarsson2025]

@@TheDutchGarage Thanks for the answer🙂 I have no play in the wheels, it's steady and no bad sound so it's likely a brake issue. I wonder about the rubber that goes above the sliders. Has it any meaning more than protection? Cheers. Thanks!

[@TheDutchGarage]

Protection, nothing more.

[@tommylarsson2025]

@@TheDutchGarage Thanks! OK! I will change them anyhow cause they look like shit 😂. And silicone is best for the slider if I get it right?

Great video! You sound like Finnish but not sure? If so, best wishes from your old neighbour Sweden! 👍👍
