R.i.p bro

[@Bilboooooo]

Such a motivational video, proving anyone can really tackle these sorts of problems and get a lot further than they would imagine!

[@MattsMotors15]

That's the plan mate , I know no more then ya average enthusiast so it's definitely possible and I guess the more I do it there easier it will become !

[@mopedmarathon]

Good on you mate. Never think about quitting. You’re not a quitter. If you were you wouldn’t be where you are with it. Good luck brother!

[@MattsMotors15]

thanks for the kind comment. your right i dont and wont quit!

[@FightingGullyFarm]

Great work Matt, love the confidence to just give it a go 👍

[@MattsMotors15]

Thanks a lot mate

[@vaughanh2905]

Great vid dude! Nothing like getting stuck in and having a go, the feeling of achievement after is amazing. Looking forward to more. 😊

[@MattsMotors15]

I appreciate the kind words and the comment and glad you enjoyed

Well done Matt! I’m the same as you, learning on the job, and there’s no better feeling than figuring something out and making progress. Happy days my man 👍🏻

[@MattsMotors15]

Exactly that man thanks for watching and commenting ❤️

[@clarence2174]

[@benrandle9113]

Nice job, be sure to bleed those brakes 👍 Looking forward to your next video.

[@MattsMotors15]

thanks pal itll be out Friday :)

[@shxdowplay_]

good job mate, look forward to the next one. tip - if changing the pads & brake rotors down the line, be careful not to let the caliper hang by itself like that, you can rest it on the control arm or hang it off it with a bungee cord

[@MattsMotors15]

Great minds think a like I didn't know you shouldn't do this but what wasn't on the video is I didn't leave it hanging I left it on the control arm as I thought it shouldn't be dangling :) thanks for the advice :)

[@bck0001]

Everything I try to do on a car takes longer than I think it should so this makes me feel like that’s ok and just part of the process. Thank you

KZbin vid: "It's a ten minute job!" Me: 6 hours later...

[@MattsMotors15]

I completely agree this went smoother then I imagined but equally a few small parts took way longer, just have to keep going !

[@mattbishop30]

Love the sense of pride and confidence it seems like you got from tackling it and doing it, you come across well on camera and are becoming more and more natural each video in a very short space of time!! Looking forward to the road test! 😊

[@MattsMotors15]

Thanks for the kind words Matt I really appreciate it ❤️

[@tomcanning8269]

Thank you Martin :)

[@ajaylyons6939]

Loving it mate, can’t wait for the test drive 🤩

[@MattsMotors15]

Thanks mate 😁

[@swivvy3037]

Really refreshing to see someone just giving it a go. Had my MK1 for 3 years now and Ive given up with doing stuff myself as everything I did turned into a bigger job than I wanted to/could handle

[@MattsMotors15]

Sometimes good , sometime maybe s**t 😂 thanks for the comment

[@Billybob09871]

The screw hole in the disc looks like the kind used to help remove seized discs. Usually if you struggle to get the disc off, you can screw a bolt into that hole and it pushes the disc off the hub. Discs are sometimes bolted to hubs, but the holes are usually counter sunk so they don't foul the wheels, but that hole looks like its only threaded. To be honest, even when the discs have bolts they're not really needed as the wheel does all the clamping it needs, and generally the bolts just go rusty and snap.

[@MattsMotors15]

You are 100% right my mechanic told me yesterday! Thanks for the helpful advice ❤️

[@edgereviews2924]

Wow, love the cutting tool. Someone, please donate some tools to Matt to keep the channel going! Matt could do a box opening! Keep up the good work.

[@MattsMotors15]

[@wynm123]

Well done!! Keep up the good work!!

[@MattsMotors15]

Thank you! Will do!

[@beccasn8725]

Try not to let the caliper hang off the pipe like that, it can do damage and cause your breaks to fail - instead hook it off something like the coil on your suspension or something.

[@MattsMotors15]

Thanks for the advice after I had filmed the video I put it on the video so for the 2 weeks waiting for the part. It wasn't pulling on anything just why I filmed :)
