Renault Kadjar front brake disc and pad replacement

[@usergoogle54]

You worked like a pro. There are few car mechanics who work so well. Congratulations!

[@lucb.3261]

A great moment of car mechanics. 5/5 !! I have never seen this done at the best garage... To get such a great service, you have to do it yourself ! Thanks for sharing. The list of the different products used (copper paste, ceramic paste...) would be a plus... On my side, I add : for my Kadjar, the minimum thickness of the front brake discs is 24 mm.

[@bulletgt3]

I think you and i could be good friends by just seeing how you work with your car. The effort for all the details! 5/5! :-)

[@hartpower]

Thank you!

[@cosmozh]

Amazing show. Great work bro, i newer see someone working on brakes like you. Congrats!!

[@sergedavi5655]

Bonjour et merci pour ce tuto très explicite et je voulais vous informer que sur mon kadjar de 10/2016 les écrous qui maintiennent l'étrier sont en 14 et non 13. Heureusement j'avais un coffret de douilles à chocs supplémentaire, car pas dans mon coffret à cliquets. Bonne continuation et encore merci pour vos tutos Serge

[@fredvanhetnet]

One big mistake is that you didn't put the springs behind the brake pads, they should help push the brake pad back away from the brake disc.

He should use a brake pad tool?

[@nikosk12]

you are the best. very good work

[@michaelfearn83]

That little clip which fixes to the edge of the pad which is only on the back pad. Should it go at the top or bottom. I see you fixed it to the bottom but on mine it was at the top of the pad. Thank you.

Great job! I also plan to do mine. Do you know the torque ratings for the brake caliper bolts. I see you use anti sieze copper grease for pads and another anti-squeak white grease. What grease is the white one? What brands are the break discs?

[@hartpower]

Thanks! Unfortunately i don’t have torque specs but it is about 90-100 Nm as in most cars. The white grease is Crc ceramic paste. Discs are from Vector, it is basic aftermarket brand which is sold by Motonet in Finland.

How to release the handbrake for replacing rear pads ?

[@steviewonder5764]

the most important thing about a brake service is to clean and re grease the sliders on the carriers, this guy missed them totally. nice clean job though.

[@hartpower]

Good point, I actually checked those pins and added some grease. Unfortunately forgot to film it😅

[@riorooney]

Did you release the electric handbrake before you started this job?

[@hartpower]

I did both the front and the rear at the same time so yes I did release it. If you are going to do the front only it is not needed to release handbrake.

[@massimoval1979]

@@hartpower how did you do it? Congrats on the channel.

Those are the salme as megane 4?

[@ik19685]

Bravissimo

[@rehab2007]

If i didn’t find copper grease can i use any thermal lithium grease ?

[@hartpower]

I wouldn’t recommend because it could trickle to friction surfaces and cause problems

Big like from my....

molto preciso, bravo

[@jeanejchler4023]

Is there only one screw holding the disc?

[@frickers1000]

There is only one holding screw although there are two holes in both hub and disc. The unused hole in the hub does not have a thread though so to use it you have to use a tapping bit of the correct size to put a thread in it (takes 2 mins). I ended up needing this when I replaced my front discs as the holding screw was so tight that the head was stripped trying to remove it. So it had to be drilled out. I then bought a new screw (£3.50 Renault or 50p from breakers yard) and used the other mounting hole instead. Job done. Just make sure that there is nothing of the old screw sticking proud of the hub. By the way, be prepared for a fight to get the old hub off! I needed heat, some big hammers and a lot of patience. If you can get something in the slot between the two disc faces (the vents) it helps as you can apply a twisting motion- provided that the car is in gear to lock the wheel.

[@Naqualtd]

at what point did you bleed the brakes?

[@hartpower]

It was not necessary to bleed brakes because no hoses were disconnected

[@emil9208]

What is that orange stuff and is it absolutely necessary?

[@hartpower]

It is copper paste, it prevents seizing and helps pads to move more freely. If you don’t have it no problem, it is not mandatory

[@igordalina6288]

What brand are the brake pads?

[@hartpower]

Brembo

Tutto pieno di sale😁

IT'S TERRIBLE TO SIT ON THE GROUND. !!

[@nickhenderson9943]

seriously man, just move the frikkin box out of the way of the tools!!

[@hartpower]

Brake caliper was resting on it so that is why I did not remove it, I know it is blocking access ;)
