Hey Anton thanks for the video.. I did notice some viewers comments about not using axle stands etc but i did notice and point out to some people your trolley jack has a drop lock on it incase it fails. Could you Please let us know more about what jack you use? Noticed some trolley jacks eg sealey 3000LJ have automatic lock. Maybe a vid Cheers

[@aaanton11]

The Jack I use is an Major lift professional jack, with a drop lock, so in effect it has a built in axle stand. it is a fantastic jack.Thanks Simon for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠

Good job mate have you ever done a citron ds3 disc and pads before and if so is it the same procedure 👌👍

[@aaanton11]

Almost identical, Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠

I changed mine recently and they bind now after doing it. Any ideas why? Piston easily pushed back in and comes out and the pins all moving easily. Someone mentioned resetting abs? Any other ideas?

[@aaanton11]

Are the pads too tight in the caliper cradle, might need a quick rub with a file, Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠

[@bambam1676]

How much would a job like this cost and are you based in Sheffield

[@aaanton11]

I am in Leicester, at a garage you would pay around £400 for front pads and discs Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠

[@aaanton11]

Shouldn’t really use the impact gun on them locking wheel nuts!

[@aaanton11]

I have the torque on the gun set low, so no issues here, Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠

Good morning, you have four mistakes. False 1. Insufficient cleaning of the disk base. You do not clean even 10% with a wire brush and by hand. He wants a round brush and a drill. False 2. you do not clean the base of the caliper and the whole mechanism in general, especially where the tiles slip. False 3. you do not lubricate either the base of the disc or the sliding - and contact points of the metal parts of the tiles. Wrong 4. you tighten the wheel and you do not finally control the tightening with a torque wrench (OPEL 120 NM) ... These from me, these from someone who is old now after about 40 years

[@valleysman1234]

Everybody has a point of view, but the videos that aaanton11 has done has never gave me any problems, he has helped me sort out many of my problems, and gave me advice about my daughter's bug and saved me a few quid what more could you want.

[@aaanton11]

We all have our own ways of working, you are not wrong with what you say, but the job is done and works perfectly, I appreciate your opinion Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠

[@georgerousakis8501]

To complete, wrong 5. and perhaps the most important. You lift the vehicle only with the hydraulic jack. You do not install a fixed tripod ..... Safety is the first priority and unfortunately you ignore it .....

[@1simonreed]

@@georgerousakis8501 axle stands are always best used just as you say. I have even had axle stands fail so the more support the better. I did notice though antons trolley jack has a drop lock on it so it shouldn't be able to drop until the lock is disengaged.

Yeah get ur point and thats what they teach in college but a lot over the top. Aanton knows his stuff and a lot of stuff unnecessary. The stuff is only going to corrode again, as long as sliding pins are free. We all have our own way of doing things and if they work, stick with it. I like to use copper slip and loads of it as i have found it stops squealing
