Thanks for the video. The brakes on my 2018 S-Max were slightly different. It has electric parking brake. I used Forscan to put the brakes into service mode (choc wheels first!). This retracts the piston but I still needed to push it back a bit further with a G-Clamp (no big force required). Otherwise I needed a 7mm hex for the pins and 15mm socket for the bracket bolts. The outer pads (Pagid) came with a 3M adhesive pad attached. Needed to clean the bracket and remove the backing tape before fitting. I used silicon grease from an Amazon seller on the slide pins.

Hi ! I have the same car model with electric parking brake. I removed the clips/springs that goes before the pads. I didn’t notice there were slightly different. One has 3 languets on each side and the other has 4 of these. I cant figure out which one goes up and which one goes down. Colis you help me ? Thanks 😊

@@tycas5699 Are yours dual piston brakes? I think mine were only single pot. I can't remember if there was an arrow on the pads (indicating the direction of rotation) or if they could be fitted either side.

@@ColinWatters Hi ColinWatters, Thank you for the answer. Mine are single piston. I’m not worried about the pads. I think you are right and they can be mounted on both sides. I’m worried about the thin metallic plate that goes between the « legs » of the pads and the brake caliper. There is such plates only on the rear brakes and you can see them in profile. They are shaped a bit like a wide « U ». Can you locate them ?

@@tycas5699 @Ty Cas Do you mean the shiny clips/springs/shims he fits at about 07:47 ? I'm afraid I didn't have those on my car. Mine have a wire spring similar to those on the front wheels. Mine is a diesel which might make a difference.

@@tycas5699 There is a closer view of the shims in this vid. Not sure if you can see enough to work out the orientation though kzbin.info/www/bejne/d2aZgX94l9x_es0

Good video but please use an axle stand. I had one of those scissor jacks thread fail and the car drop back down. Fortunately the car was just off the ground with the wheel on.

Hi. I was going to change my discs but unlike your hex bolt heads, it turns out that the bolts holding the pad retainer bracket are Torx (T50 I think). There is no access to get a ratchet on the Torx, so I used 2 extension bars to get a ratchet attached behind the turret spring. But no, the "Halfords Professional" Torx bit twisted (I was giving it both arms on a long bar) and the f*ker hadn't budged. So in the end I just changed the pads. What sort of plonker designed this to use a Torx FFS? The discs are ok, so I was only changing them as I had also changed the front discs and had bought a full set. Rant over.
