Hello, today were going to show you how to change your front brake pads.
It's a really quick and simple job.
This job is similar for most cars and in this video we'll be doing it on a 2005 Volvo V50,
and as you can see from the box the pads come in they are fitted to all these cars,
so the callipers are pretty much the same.
We're going to give you a full explanation including the tools you need and torque figures.
Brakes are pretty safety critical, so if you're unsure please check with a mechanic.
Right then, tools and equipment.
This is what you'll need.
Firstly, the brake pads, some red rubber grease to lube the caliper pins, some cord or tough string,
a breaker bar, a ratchet, small pair of pliers, 7mm hex key, a small flat bladed screwdriver,
a 19mm socket and short extension,
and a torque wrench able to go to torques of about 30 to 130 Nm.
Right then, to start with, clean off around the brake fluid reservoir cap and loosen it,
wrap some rag around it just in case any fluid comes out when you push the caliper pistons back in.
If your reservoir is full it's probably a good idea to take some out.
Crack off the wheel nuts with the breaker bar while the wheel is on the floor.
Safely jack up the car and put on a stand.
Remove the wheel nuts and the wheel.
Turn the steering to give you better access to the caliper.
With the flat bladed screwdriver, gently remove the anti-rattle spring from the caliper.
With the flat bladed screwdriver, pop the caps of the caliper slide screw covers.
With the 7mm hex key undo the caliper sliding pins.
Once they are unscrewed, use your screwdriver to gently tease them out enough
to give you enough space to remove the caliper.
Take your piece of cord and attach it somewhere in the top of the spring
and make a loop hanging down at around the same level as the caliper top sliding pin.
Remove the caliper and the brake pads,
and hang the caliper on the cord loop,
check around the piston and the rubber boot to make sure they're in a good condition.
Then push the piston in until it's fully retracted.
If you can't do it by hand you can use a rewind tool or g-clamp.
At this point you can use a wire brush to give the caliper a bit of a clean.
Be careful of the rubber boots when doing this.
One by one, remove the sliding pins and give them a bit of a clean,
then apply a bit of rubber grease and put back into the rubber guides,
making sure they are free to move.
With a clean hands or a fresh pair of gloves, take out your new brake pads,
take the pad with the metal clip on the back and pop it into the piston.
Next, place the outer pad without the metal clip on, into the caliper.
If your pads haven't got an anti squeal backing on them
you can apply some copper grease to the back of the pads.
Unhook the caliper,
making sure both sliding pins are retracted and re-assemble the caliper.
Using the 7mm hex key, start both the sliding pins screws by hand.
Then ratchet them up.
With your torque wrench, torque the sliding pin bolts.
You should check your manual for the correct torque figures, but at the time of making this video,
these are the torque figures we have found.
Once they're torqued, pop the caps back on.
As you can see, there is quite a gap between the pads and the disc,
you need to gently apply the footbrake a couple of times to centralise the pads
and make sure they are going to work the first time you go down the road and hit the brake pedal.
Replace the anti-rattle spring.
This can be a bit tricky, and using a pair of pliers and a screwdriver handle can make it easier.
Remove your cord from the spring and keep it handy for the other side.
While everything is exposed, it's a good opportunity to check the parts you can see
for any damage or wear.
Like the CV joint boots, bushes and other suspension components.
Centralise the steering and remount the wheel.
Tighten the wheel nuts by hand and then with a ratchet.
Lower the car to the ground and torque up the wheel nuts.
Again, you should check your manual for the correct torque figures,
but at the time of making this video, these are the torque figures we have found.
The wheel nuts should be torqued in opposites.
Once you've torqued your wheel nuts, and you've done your brake pads on both sides,
make sure that you have a firm brake pedal.
Tighten the brake reservoir cap and check the fluid level.
On your first outing with the car, apply the brakes gently to make sure they are in working order
and when you return, re check your wheel nuts again with the torque wrench.
Thanks for watching.
