VW T3 / T25 / Vanagon - Front Brakes and Wheel Bearings

In this video I replace the front wheel bearings, brake discs and pads, and rebuild the calipers. This in-depth video covers each step of taking all the parts off the van and refitting new parts to the correct specification.

Warning: As this video deals with critical brake systems it should not be used as a technical how-to guide, it is for information only. This is just my experience of completing these jobs, I am not a professional mechanic.
