New Brakes For The Fiesta ST150 | Scrap Car Challenge PT4

[@rossmcgarrie9787]

Doing a brilliant job there Kev as it’s what my mate Kenny use to do when he was a mechanic at Stagecoach Fife & a brilliant one to at that. He’s since retired around 6 months ago. We always worked as a great team the pair of us when I was there. Great to see you getting jobs done to ur ST. Keep up the good work Pal & I’m already looking forward to ur next vlog Pal. 👍

Legend has it that Kevs torque wrench was used to fit the tracks to tanks in WW2 😂 Certainly looks like it's seen some action. Halfords professional torque wrenches are very nice, have have mine for a few years now.

[@KevTee]

Ha that Torque wrench has been very faithful but I'm also a bug fan of Halfords Professional range so I think it's nearing retirement for the old wrench 😂

[@MattyEngland]

@@KevTee lol, yeah I know what you mean. I still have a 1/2 inch socket set which I bought with one of my first weeks wages back in 1996. 👍

[@stevedane787]

Ah! Reminds me of the days when I used to do such things on the drive. These days the spirit may be willing but the bones aren't really up to it. You're doing a grand job on the ST, can't wait for the next vid.

[@Stuvonful]

I used to use EBC greens with drilled and vented disks on a Seat Leon. When one of the disks warped I put Pagid all round and WOW so much better! - Good choice Kev. 👍🏻

[@KevTee]

Seems I followed some good advice for a change 👍

[@tonyford7987]

Euro car parts pagid c**p. Dusty as hell on an XF.

@@tonyford7987 Most Jags are fitted with Crappy Ford brakes from the factory. Blooming expensive too. Brembo are much better quality.

I guess I got lucky this time 😂

[@samryman7719]

Great little video Kev :) Decided to give mine ago after watching this (slightly different as I did a 2010 Astra) but all went well :-) The little ST is shaping up quite nicely now. Look forward to the next one ;-)

[@mikedarling-holmes5434]

Good job Kev -that’ll be a good car for someone when it’s finished

[@benevans3733]

Hi Kev another brilliant video as always and and you are staying safe and well and hope you had a good weekend with the family

[@barrypatterson1221]

Brilliant vlog keV. You are doing a brilliant job

[@haydenuk02]

Brilliant work Kev can’t wait to see what’s in store next. Thanks for sharing this with us take care

[@dwrowley]

Great video Kev, will be a great little car when you've finished

[@thisispointless29]

Pagid are owned by TMD friction who also own Textar and Mintex so a really decent make, if you’re ever after upgraded pads mintex racing do a great range of performance pads and they’re usually not very expensive (many people say they’re far superior to anything EBC has to offer). In regards to the coating you don’t have to clean it, it’s ready to fit out the box. Aside from looking a million times better they’re quite good for performance as the coating prevents the vents from corroding and clogging with rust thus keeping the brakes cool. I’d keep copperslip far away from brakes, especially slider pins on those ATE style callipers, makes a right mess of the pins and the rubber guide boots in my experience 👍

[@KevTee]

Nice one, thanks for the advice 👍

[@allanlee5817]

WD 40 "Lanolin" spray (other brands aswell) will coat and preserve all those rust areas on the suspension and linkages............been using it for years......great for tools too

[@williamnorthmore6077]

Nice video Kev, gonna be a smashing little motor when ur done!!

[@jamie123b]

My ST like yours passed it’s mot today wooo also I got pagid brakes all round last year didnt realise it was good, I let the mechanic I know sort it all!

[@tonycox5625]

Another good one Kev, Cheers! 👍

[@gfunkmusic6836]

Impressed to see you using Copaslip! Wish more folk used it!

[@robertwilson6020]

My local garage now recommends the use of a white brake grease in place of copperslip but sensible and sparing use of lubricant on non friction surfaces is good.

[@benevans3733]

Looking forward to seeing your next collecting car salvage video on Sunday and hope you job is still going well

[@TomRxtroWav397]

Got pagid front brake for mine Fiesta. Huge changed noticeable brake performed. Pad were fine but disc look okay however I measured and it was worned to below factory recommend minimum. Definitely recommend myself to used Pagid for brake change

[@ianleak]

Spot on kev keep up the good work mate

[@sallymurray2147]

Brilliant job kev cant wait for the next video

[@JACKJOHNJONES]

Great vid Kev can't wait to see the next installment! 👍

[@aschris87]

Them Calipers and Brackets Definitely need a sandblasting and paint job along with Braided Brake Lines will make all the difference after you Refurb the Wheels

[@josephturrall2333]

Good job pal. Just a quick heads up. With the rear pads theres a little nipple on the back of the pads which should sit in one of the slots on the piston face. I had a problem where the brake pads would be pushed against the disc because the nipple wasn't seated in the piston. Worth checking if it's lined up properly. 👍🏻

[@KevTee]

Thanks mate, I'll have a quick check when I get chance 👍

[@josephturrall2333]

No worries mate. It's very easily missed. I didn't even know about that until I noticed that my rear discs were getting really hot even after a short drive.

[@MrDbone75]

Good Wednesday evening on a wet and windy night from wellington Somerset

[@jacklee2856]

Fantastic job great car kev

[@chrhau-et2tq]

Great videos Kev! Shouldve put a coating of paint on those calipers whilst you were in there. Would've been a nice touch. Stay safe mate

[@MrClogger100]

Don't think you watched to the end somehow

[@chrhau-et2tq]

Tbh I watched to when he bled them 🤦‍♂️ my bad

[@michaelweatherhead9470]

Great job . Cheers

[@jameshumble_gtuk6978]

Great video kev

[@sammytheseal2307]

I think you've done a better job there than the fast fit centres!!

[@BadgerBoik]

I would suggest using your jack as well as axle stands. Just for extra safety. Great vid mate, keep em coming.

[@stephenjones9153]

I was thinking I wouldn't trust just the axle stands on the gravel. I usually put the wheel under the chassis just in case it falls off and leave the jack under the corner I'm working on. Always better safe than sorry.

[@benevans3733]

Congratulations on getting on 37,200 subscribers and well with collecting the salvage cars and with doing the videos as well and how is it going in your new truck

[@DiscoStu12081983]

If it doesn’t fit, hit it with a screwdriver. If that don’t work, hit it with some pliers!!! 😂

[@scorcha100]

Thats the first time ive seen those ST wheels with the ability to screw the centre caps to the wheels. Normally the caps are just push fit and always go missing 🤔

[@Cous1nJack]

There is an mot place near your yard. Take the esta there, not had a fail yet!

[@sammytheseal2307]

So you want them to pass worn brakes and broken springs?

[@Cous1nJack]

Dot 5.1 ? you youngsters have too much choice .. Only joking Kev ,great job loving the revamp on the little fiesta . Peace and love brother 👍🏻☮❤

[@CdotPoppy]

Be kind to your top right strut, get that water out and put some of these on top of it; eBay item number: 313441765304 - Suspension Strut Grommets Cover Bungs I 'm about to do my brakes with TRW discs and pads all around and some CP racetec lines with all new sliders and bolts etc and some Motul brake fluid. Hopefully there will be improvement on what's there now.

[@royboydanny1415]

Hi Kev, you're not on your own with the handbrake been left on. I worked in a very well known garage, car was up on the ramp my colleagues could see me struggling with the rear brakes. One colleague shouted over " handbrake" , I could feel my face getting redder and redder the whole garage was laughing. Never did that again. I think you need to get a new torque wrench. Great video 👍

[@lowenslow945]

When was that Torque wrench last calibrated ? Just a thought !

[@tonywood6332]

Silly Q - but did you bleed all the 4 corners ? Just rears ? - never done it before (although I’ve got the kit 😂)

[@athollmcnicoll256]

Its a pity while you had the brakes disassembled you didn't run that brush over the corroded metalwork, as its bound to fail the next test. Cheers Kev, next time remember to let the handbrake off !!

[@richardagent1924]

Not sure it's necessary to oil/grease the hub. The body will be dead before the disks need removing again!

[@waynehammerton5698]

Are you going to put the prices and hours of work etc at the very end Kev

[@sammytheseal2307]

I couldn't help but share the feeling of the facepalm moment when you realized the handbrake was still on 🤦😂

[@benevans3733]

Hopefully that should passes the mot re test without a problem next time

[@KevTee]

Just the suspension to sort out next 👍

[@benevans3733]

Hope you make a really good profit on it when it comes to selling it and that it sells quickly for you as well

[@KevTee]

It's not really about making a profit mate, it's about just having fun with cars 😊

[@garthyx]

Copper grease should never be put on caliper sliders... (Or anything that comes in to contact with rubber). It's not a lubricant, it's a corrosion preventative!

[@iancoupe20v43]

why do need to bleed the brakes ? you have not disconnected the brake hoses so no chance air has entered the system

[@sammytheseal2307]

To flush the old fluid out 👍

[@sammytheseal2307]

You forgot the KwikFit patented BrakePadPreservation® technique by applying a liberal coating of WD-40 and vaseline on the friction material of the brake pad. It makes them last 2x longer and reduces excess heat caused by friction 🤦 **NOTE TO ANYONE READING** **DO NOT DO THIS. ITS A JOKE!!!** 😂😂😂

[@tonyford7987]

Red paint adds 30bhp 🤣

[@peugeotdudeandson4485]

[@albarn100]

This is the first time I hoped someone was wearing a mask!

[@aodhanpk]

You should paint the calipers and brackets make it look more sporty

[@justinfufun5483]

Its gid like gin. Grooved and drilled disks are no improvement. You should know from CPC that brakes work by converting kinetic energy into heat by friction so putting holes in them just reduces the available surface area. Dissipating tbst heat is good or creating even more heat by stronger calipers but removing dust area us for posers.
