Replacing the front brakes on my GQ Patrol

[@qubepoint3968]

This is the most helpful vid on KZbin. Please do one on bearings and brake lines

[@downtheshedwithbyron]

Thanks mate Yeah got the parts on the shelve to do it just building derby cars haha but ill get there mate 👍

[@blakesheppard8304]

Thank you the install of the brake pads helped me out a lot! Couldn’t remember how they went back in and your video was immensely helpful on this, thanks again.

[@rylanherrick5660]

Awesome easy to understand video. Now I feel confident changing the front brake discs on my GQ

[@ventman2au]

Great vid mate. Just got my GQ back from Vic to Qld. Was sitting in a shed for 8 years. Done the whole cooling system and water pump and other stuff. Now the brake pedal is hard, gotta really press hard to stop so I'm going to service the brakes and check calipers. Thanks again. Going through your other GQ vids🙂

Great info mate👍you explain things so clearly. Can you please do a swivel hub rebuild.

[@downtheshedwithbyron]

Cheers mate I will be attempting that in the near future hopefully to help others out thanks again mate

[@shaneastwood9920]

That was really good mate - thank you.

[@downtheshedwithbyron]

No problem 👍

[@montefurze3811]

Locking the hubs also works to hold the wheel

[@downtheshedwithbyron]

Yeah thats a great tip 👍 cheers mate

[@Jonesey2625]

Great vid mate My front calipers started sticking a while ago, the car would almost stop in the middle of roundabouts... Just to be safe I went through and replaced all the Discs, Pads and Calipers

[@downtheshedwithbyron]

Cheers mate with the amount of abuse we give the old patrols or any four-wheel drive in that nature it doesn't hurt to lubricate the slides every now and then. 👍

[@CliveWebbAustralia]

Great video. Thank you...

Good timing, about to do my brakes all round my GQ. Good to have a bit of a refresher before doing it.

[@downtheshedwithbyron]

Awesome glad I could help Take it easy mate

[@SN-jh3bb]

you do a good job

[@downtheshedwithbyron]

Cheers mate

[@sigh299]

Hey mate, great video. However, the guide pins are the wrong way around according to Nissans schematics for front brakes. Might want to update this video so people don’t go chucking their brakes back together wrong. The pin with the rubber sleeve goes to the bottom and the larger pin goes to the top. Hope this helps.

[@downtheshedwithbyron]

Oh bugger mate Awesome pick up and that would make sense to dude I will look into it

[@sigh299]

@@downtheshedwithbyron no dramas mate, great content none the less. I’ve learned a lot from you. Appreciate the good work!

Awesome video mate! Keep them coming :))

[@darrenmoore2]

good to see your using the GU lock tabs instead of the GQ ones.

[@downtheshedwithbyron]

That's a great upgrade for anyone that has a GQ Patrol fitting the GU wheel bearing nut and retainer

Great vids, deserves more views

[@downtheshedwithbyron]

Thanks mate 👍

[@glennbyers6918]

Finding it hard to find retaining plates are they necessary.

[@downtheshedwithbyron]

Yeah kinda the help stop the pads from excessive movement and vibration

[@danielgentile5564]

Is it the same for the GU patrol?

[@downtheshedwithbyron]

Yeah mate pretty much

[@boofy081965]

Great step by steps on replacing rotors and pads, however are these the same on.GU?

[@Sethjxl]

Yup, same process for both GU and GQ. Only difference is that the GU has twin pot callipers..

[@henzmatto4982]

Hey mate, without the proper tool for the lock nut, can it be undone/tightened with screwdrivers across from each other?

[@downtheshedwithbyron]

Yeah mate depending on what retaining nut you have gq or gu

[@henzmatto4982]

@@downtheshedwithbyron just a standard gq? Do I need the special hub nut tool? Cheers

[@BigRedGQ]

What year is your gq

[@GhostOfJohnRittter]

Thanks so much mate, my warped front rotors be gone! Great video, clear and no longwinded American bullshit 🤙🤙 you got any good videos replacing the radiator on a 92 Patrol 4.2L 6cyl Petrol? D.I.Y is the key!

[@downtheshedwithbyron]

Cheers mate I think ive got an old video i done when i first start the youtubing so bear with me i was new to the game haha

[@jamiewatson695]

[@peterspillane7115]

Will you be doing a brake bleed video with the rear weight proportion valve? Great vid again. Cheers 👍

[@downtheshedwithbyron]

Thanks mate yeah can do see what I can do in the near future

[@Arron-S]
