This is a really well made how-to video. Clear, concise instructions, great camera work, good audio, and a musical soundtrack that doesn't compete to be the centre of attention.
Thanks for taking the time to put together a very useful video.

[@CraftyWorkshopBuilds]

Glad it was helpful! Much respect and thanks for watching!

Man do more passat stuff, i am subbed but you don t upload frequently.

[@Rempakas]

Must be nice to work with minimal rust, i did rear rotors and pads and it took me 2.5h because of rusted components. i live in northern Europe.

Hi, and thanks for your excellent video. Your videography was well-angled and good quality. Too often, guys will do an instructional video on rebuilding a carburetor,, for example, while while videoing with one hand. You had well placed , concise, instructions. The music was good, not too loud or distracting. Good job, and thanks again!

No prime of the turbo before starting engine 😮Excellent video but setting yourself up for premature failure

[@russianwolfhound1]

??? When did he start the engine ?

[@tmnt3998]

Hi, what exactly is the anti rattle spring? and why that name? Because I have this annoying rattling sound coming somewhere from my front right wheel while driving and it sounds like hillbilly car. And by looking into your video, my eyes are opening! :D

[@CraftyWorkshopBuilds]

The anti rattle spring helps the caliper, pads and rotor to have a snug fit, which minimize movements and squeaking.

[@tmnt3998]

I have managed the brake change easily as you made a good instructions. Thank you ver much man!

[@CraftyWorkshopBuilds]

I'm happy I was able to help!
