Thanks. Your video saved me money and I was very pleased that I did it. Never would have tried it. Brilliant
Glad it helped Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
Thank you... a great video and detail....I just finished replacing my disks and pads on my Ford Ka Mk2......it was a very easy job after watching your video a few times!
Glad it helped Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
Quick tip for anyone planning to do this job.
Fiat 500/Ford KA are pretty much the same car, but be careful when ordering discs and pads for them. Some have vented discs and some don’t. If you fit the cheaper solid discs where vented are supposed to be, the discs are too thin for the calliper bridge and the pads can fit between the disc and the carrier when they start to wear down and the pad gets thrown out, potentially leaving the driver in the somewhat less than ideal situation of not having any brakes.
Is the diameter the same on the vented discs? Thanks Tim for the great information👍🏻👍🏻🛠
@@aaanton11 yes mate. They’re the same dimensions but thicker. I’ve heard a few stories where people have fitted the solid ones in place of vented without realising it, or to save a bit of money and the pads have been thrown out about 1000 miles later 🤦♀️
Thanks for the efforts you put in to this. Really useful.
Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
Thank you
You're welcome Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
I would recommend using an axel stand also using something to hold up the caliper rather than let it hang on the brake line👍
Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
Top tip jabbing the breaks thanks mate top video as usual 👍🚗
Can be a big issue on old cars, one which can lead to a big bill, Thanks Norm for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
I use something to hold the caliper is much better and i clean the calipers all the time and use copper greas that make them move more free
Sometimes wash it with jet pressure and apply spray grease on it (not on the disks)..o use brake cleaner.. very eady to replace pads and disks....
Thanks for the great information👍🏻👍🏻🛠
Champion.

Glad it helped, this is the only video on this , the slider rubbers just pull out, Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
@@aaanton11 OK THANKKS WILL SEE IT I CAN JUST REMOVE THEM AND CLEAN THE SLIDER , THANKS AGAIN
Is this the same as a Fiat Punto pop 2014... I am going to attempt to do this myself 🙏 God willing I don't mess it up🙏🙏🙏🙏
Yes very similar Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
These look a decent little car do you think they are better or worse than the Peugeot 107 in your opinion
