Watched your video yesterday and changed my front discs and pads today. It took me 1.5 hours in relaxed pace. My car is a skoda fabia 1.9 tdi estate 2010(UK) completely different car but the process was exactly the same. VERY informative video and very easy explained thank you.

57********:

Thank you very much for your videos, they're truly very helpful, I never thought I can fix my own brakes thinking it's a complicated job & it's only for professionals...but watching your videos made it really a piece of cake...auto mechanics must hate you for this !!!

CH*************:

Your channel is seriously taught me so much  DIY on the car, seriously you're a lifesaver and money saver thank you 

Do********:

Dude!! Awesome video. I sat in my driveway with your you tube video playing on my Ipad mini and pausing it along the way and it worked like a charm. I was changing brake pad and rotors on my 2008 Suzuki Grand Vitara. Thanks Chris!

St*******:

fast, informative and good angles. Nice

Ja************:

Thank you ChrisFix for this tutorial. I was confident enough to fix my Golf MK5 blocking brake pads. I had every piece of required tools and a lot of knowledge thanks to you!! Best wishes from Poland ;)

Ut********:

I'm studying to be a mechanic what would you suggest to learn about specific torque needed at any bolt?

Nu****************:

As a guy that didn't have a father or another suitable figure to teach me these things, I am glad that you made videos and now I am able to do what I was helpless to do on my own. Thank you! Changed my life.

Hey Chris - Just finished my second set of disc brakes - Thankyou once again. Your channel is helping so many people. We should all donate even just $1 . You have literally saved me hundreds.

In****:

Bro can you be my mechanic?

Ja****:

it seems like the best way to really learn this stuff is to just say fuck it and take what you learn in the videos and try to apply it when you do things to your car

Se*********:

Not gonna lie.
I'm never going to do this,but watching you work is very relaxing.

Bo*******:

Chris fix is one of the only YouTubers who actually tutorials that are easy to follow for beginners. He doesn’t have to explain the details but he does. We appreciate you man!

Before you drive, pump the brakes 20 times

CH********:

I love that you explain the “why” behind a lot of things you’re doing. Even the little things. Thanks bro!

An********:

“The brake pads actually don’t look bad” -Me everytime I change brakes

Sa**:

Not only do I appreciate the easy to follow and detailed instructions, I appreciate how you point out little tricks along the way (such as using anti-seize instead of brake grease). The tire under the car as a backup is also a great idea, I'm going to start doing that (before I used just a jack and jack stands). Please keep up the good work.

AN******:

Magic as usual.Thanks from UK

Ro********:

When you compress the caliper piston alway remove the brake fluid reservoir cap first.

Vi*********:

Thank you Chris! I changed one rotor and set of pads today. Unfortunately, I started kind of late and will need to do the rest tomorrow because I don't fancy fixing things in the dark (I changed a headlight once and stretched into the night and it wasn't fun at all). The rotor had 13 years of rust seizing/ welding on it and knocking technique saved my bacon. Though with my flimsy mallet it took a good 20 minutes of continuous knocking to release them.

Also, I couldn't pry the lugnuts off until I got an improvised breaker bar (a long pipe to extend the wheel change wrench kit). That's also an indispensable tool.

Never underestimate rust!

pu*******:

Chirsfix Thank you for your awesome videos. I followed all your instructions while changing my 2014 ford focus brake pads and rotors. I had a hell of a time compressing the rear caliper cylinders. I was having such a hard time that i thought opening the bleeder valve while compressing. I t was still difficult but i managed to get the brake pads in. On the second rear wheel, i released the emergency brake cable which is somehow tied in to the outside of the caliper with a spring. I don't know if it was my imagination but I thought i had an easier time compressing the cylinder. I also opened up the bleeder valve on this one. Did I do something wrong? FYI everything installed fine, but now it seems i drew air into the line. Please let me know what to do next time.

Ja***:

Great video! Thank you.
For ages I've being reluctant to mess with brakes components with my own hands. 2 decades ago it was said to be carcinogenic etc.
Now that I'm starting to get more handy working on various aspects of the vehicle, I'll be giving this a try myself.

Some comments:
I like how you put the anti-seize on the clip, before putting the clips on the front caliper. For the rear you did the other way around, which risks getting anti-seize onto the rotor.
Also, ideally, pop and change the upper clip first. Notice when you changed the lower clip first (rear), and then you go to pop the upper clip -- the dirt from upper clip loosening fell right onto the lower (new) clip's anti-seize. Now the dirt will just be stuck there.

Depending on the caliper & bracket, might not want to use wire brush, especially not steel wire brush. It could ruin the anti-corrosion coating. (Whatever the coating is). Ideally use just hard bristle plastic brush if that is sufficient for the job. Otherwise bronze brush is used to clean firearm barrels exactly because bronze is a softer metal (relatively).
Folks that have only seen original factory caliper take this anti-corrosion for granted. Those that have seen "OEM replacement calipers" installed by dealers, and being disappointed 2wks after the installation at the sight of corroded "new" calipers, know what I'm talking about.
Last time I had calipers replaced, I painted the "new" (refabricated) calipers with G2. (Yeah, and then I took them to a garage to have the guys install them for me.)

Again, great stuff. Thank you for posting this!
