Cheers mate, this is by far the best video on this subject on KZbin. I wasn’t confident enough to do this on my own until I found your video. Nice one Marty

Thank you for your feedback, i really enjoy making these videos and hearing comments like this make me confident that i am doing something wright, thank you again for watching.

[@bobmuir5811]

This is a brilliant video thank you very much, I have just finished doing my discs on the van. There is also a great method for getting the disc off the bearing by Bodgit and leggit garage. No hammering required, worked a treat. Thanks agin.

I'm glad my video could help ☺️ thank you for your feedback.

[@yetiandbean9223]

I wasn't going to say anything as for the most part I was learning from you, BUT you did ask for advice at the end LOL so; I worked for a torque tools manufacturing company (Norbar) and they drilled into us that clicking multiple times on the torque wrench actually increases the torque every time due to the function of the torque breaking device - every time it clicks beyond the first one is increasing the torque. They showed us this on a torque measuring device with a normal click style wrench and its interesting to see how much it goes up - its a bit like an impact hammering action. So to get the correct torque you should click it once and trust it or, if you really must, a second click only, no more. And if you are doing a bolt circle best practice is to click once only first time around, and then give each bolt just one second click to double check nothing was seated oddly the first time round. Cheers for the help you have given me!

[@Martysworkshop]

Thank you for your feedback, i have never given it a thought but it makes complete sense! Thank you again for this comment i will definitely give this a thought as i use torque wrenches every day.

Very informative and helpful. Thanks

[@Martysworkshop]

Thank you for your comment

[@Abbadon2001]

This was a great help, and avoided me starting the job without the torx bit and a long m10 bolt, and saved a lot of head scratching! I needed to use a second bolt to get my disc off on ond side, the side where the disc was fractured thru the cooling fins....! Another tip, gas bottle spanners are 21mm on the smaller end in UK, as I didn't have a 21mm apart from that one :)

[@Martysworkshop]

Thats good input thank you for your feedback its not a bad job once you get into it. Thank you for watching

[@skoprivlenski]

What is the length of the M10 bolt?

At last 100mm

Great video mate. Just started doing my disc and pads today. Mines doesn't seem to have a brake pad wear sensor Also the bolts holding disc to hub are absolutely solid all the way out . Feel as if they are going to snap .

[@Martysworkshop]

Spray some wd40 or something simular, have they started to turn? If they have work them in and out a few times to get the release oil into the threads. Thank you for watching

[@SeanagnewA7X]

@@Martysworkshop Yeah they have started turning. Will try and spray them in the morning with some pb blaster and work them in and out. Cheers mate for the advice

[@DirectGecko]

Massively helpful guide lad but after following it to the dot, one thing I'm wondering about, copper grease for the pads ?

[@Martysworkshop]

Thank you for your support, yes copper grease on ether end of the pads where they slide is good to stop them sticking in my opinion but some people think it is a bad thing so i left it out of this video

Great concise & well explained video 👌 I’m looking to purchase a Transit custom at the moment so came across this while looking for information on their common fault, do you know what the best engine version to go for around the 2014 - 2016. Watched all add’s so you get your Pennies 👍 “Liked & Subscribed”

[@Martysworkshop]

Thank you for your support ken, i own a 2013 limited 130 i couldn't be happier with it, i was advised to stay away from the 150 model when i bought mine as they have more problems, but it is the same engine just tuned up more so i can't see a problem. I Guess its more on the driver. Know i do know the newer ad blue engine (new shape) is having a lot of issues so i would stay clear of them. Hope this helps

[@luckysmiler]

nice video ,i like the bolt idea i do have a tool ,but you have to remove the drive shaft

[@Martysworkshop]

Thank you for your feedback, yea i know the tool you mean.

[@mathewmorris1469]

Great vid. Problem I’m havin is the drive shaft won’t knock through, it’s stuck and I’m welting it! Any tips on solving this? Thanks. Mat

[@Martysworkshop]

I would try a puller on the flange witch pushes on the shaft. If that fails you may have to remove the complete hub and shaft and put it in a press, i have had to do that before tbh, hope this helps

[@zteveh]

Great video, I have the same juddering under braking. What causes that juddering? as this will be my 3rd change of discs/pads in 25k miles of gentle driving and braking due to juddering. Tempted to DIY it myself. I have the 9 seater Tourneo.

[@Martysworkshop]

Mine warped due to being worn thin. Only advice I can give is use a good make disks, I use apec or mintex, most factors offer a cheep or premium brand and garages tend to use the cheep to keep cost down. Thank you for watching.

[@alessandrobertolo585]

Top video. Quick question, which tool did you use to retract the front caliper pistons? Thanks again.

[@Martysworkshop]

I just use a large flat head screwdriver

[@alessandrobertolo585]

One more question Marty. I see videos where people when pushing the caliper pistons back they open the bleeding nipple which is connected with a little pipe to a plastic container. What do you think about that? I am concerned that opening the bleeding valve you can get air in the sistem. Thanks for your advice.

[@Martysworkshop]

I have never done it tbh, I just push the pistons back with a screwdriver. I would also be concerned of air getting in the system just to make it easier to push the pistons back.

[@eddyrunip]

Hi, Just wondering whether you need to add the 90 degree angle after torquing the bearing to disc bolts as they are not new stretch bolts. I thought the final angle on the bolts is for the stretch. Would a bit of medium strength thread lock be suitable with the 30nm torque on the bolts ? Cheers

[@Martysworkshop]

Your wrigh as the bolts won't stretch the same the second time but 30nm is nowhere near tight enough for thease hubs a simple rule for stretch bolts is if you can run a nut down the thread with your fingers then they are good to use again. Hope this helps

[@burger_man.]

Great walk through video, is it the same on a rear wheel drive?

[@Martysworkshop]

Thank you craig, the transit customs only come in front wheel drive but the larger transit couriers and previous model transit in rear wheel drive is the same setup to my knowledge but instead of a driveshaft you would have a dummy shaft in its place.

[@eddieash1669]

Great video mate. Some of the torx bolts are knackered on mine but can't seem to find any on the web, any ideas for suppliers?

[@Martysworkshop]

Not sure but you could replace them with alen head bolts as they shuld be more available. Hope this helps

[@ltaylor3281]

How tight is the front hub nut, I cant undo it I've bent 2 t bars already, it just wont budge.

[@Martysworkshop]

It's 500nm so you need to use a 3/4 bar or high torque impact gun,

[@garydeandeery]

Did you take off the brake fluid cap to help push the piston in

[@Martysworkshop]

No the cap will vent to no need to take it off. Thank you for your question

[@sezeryal]

what's the mm thickness of discs that will require a replacement?

[@Martysworkshop]

Technical manual says 30mm is the minimum front and 13mm minimum for the rear, thank you for watching

Has anyone done the rear disks on this type of transit custom . Is it the same process or do you need any extra tools ?
