Helps if you speak French

[NZNick]

Enjoyed watching this to see the engine removal process and a couple of other things that I haven't seen before.
I found that I could kind-of follow what was going on, despite having finished with the French language 33 years ago...
I was surprised how casual the mechanic was with the centre console piece of plastic, considering the cost of replacement. Also, showing my ignorance here, I didn't realize that brake discs were skimmed on the car - I imagined that they were put on some sort of precision lathe for this type of job.
I wonder how much that car lift costs?...

The car lift is a Finkbeiner FHB3000, price not cheap, try heavylift.co.nz
Group buy?

Hi Nick,

You can do both depending on the reason why they need doing ... on the car is usually to overcome uneven ware potentially from mis-alignment during installation. Skimming them on the car should correct this and leave you a nice smooth brake pedal, no more pulsing through the pedal.

Personally, I would remove, correctly clean and prep the hubs and fit new ..

Thanks - my daily driver suffered from brake shudder - the disks were skimmed twice (not sure if on the car or not) but the problem still came back over a couple of months. They have been fully replaced since (successfully, so far...)
