Not only did you make it look beautiful but your work ensures the pads slide freely and are not stopped by rust causing dangerous sticky calipers. Very well done!!
There is something about taking old automotive parts, stripping them down, media blasting them, painting them and make them look and function like new again. It just never gets old. Thumbs Up Martin!
If you leave the banjo bolt, piston, and piston seal in, and leave the bleed screw tight, you can blast the whole unit and not worry about having to stuff things in holes or tape if off, Just my 02 cents!! Great job though none-the-less.
Now that’s a perfect break job my friends
Powder coating is just great. makes everything look brand new again. great job.
Wow...you have the most immaculate and clean old brake fluid that I have ever seen! Usually it is colored anywhere from tea to cola or coffee. But your's? Kudos to the person who cleans the inside of your brake lines. They do a fantastic job.
Top job Martin very therapeutic watching the transformation of the caliper from the start to the installation back on the signum keep up the good work 👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks for showing the installation.
Gonna do this on my Transit Connect callipers when it gets warmer, gets a thumbs up from me Martin.
The right way to put loctite on screws......thumbs up!
Good looking calipers. And the best is, they are not red :-)
This was so satisfying to watch, thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Top job Martin, my four calipers on the way to you to restore lol ,brilliant as usual
All I can say is to bad brake shops don't take that much care in doing brakes.
Keep up the great vid's.
The good ones don't either, not by a long way.
Doing this level of restore wouldn't earn most shops any money. They do your brakes in minutes and you'll be lucky to get a wipe down of the calliper... Brakes are not rocket science, I think I lean towards doing them myself as that bit of extra attention means they'll last so much longer on the car.
That is a great job, Martin. Around here in the states, I usually just install remanufactured calipers. When I try to undo the bleeder screws on them old ones, they almost always break off. They throw so much salt and stuff down on the roads in the winter time everything gets rusted out. Even trying to replace a brake hose is kind of a big job. I went to Community College and I had a job at an import shop, Volkswagens and Subarus, and I was taught to use never seize where the threads are and where the pads slide on the caliper mount. Never had any trouble.
Yes, I got lucky with these ones
The music in this video is nice.And then in the old videos, the music reminded me of a funeral March.😉
I think it's from this movie. Sounds similar ruclips.net/video/aL4jssSI6h8/видео.html

Great job and tips Martin. As I mentioned before I have my son's to do in the Spring, so this video has proved very useful.
Mükemmel bir restorasyon oldu, tebrikler dostum. Türkiye' de olsaydı, o parçayı çöpe atarlar, yenisini kullanırlardı. Güzel bir kazanç başardın.
Came out nice mate.. better then new
Hard wearing too the powdercoat Mick
@@RetroHax yeah mate
Great video, Martin. Original parts work best.
ottimo lavoro
Bom trabalho!!🖒
Great.
bienvenue, bon travail
Very nicely done. ;o|
Oddly enough, the first brakes I ever took apart were on a Vauxhall - my Dad's HB Viva 1600 Slant Four, quite a beast. 1974, I was eight at the time.
It went up mountains in North Wales like nothing. Mind you, when pushed it only had slightly better mpg than the flare at Stanlow... #o.
Just paid almost two months rent on entire system and they're still working on it. Taking a torch to get the calipers off? Car is from Michigan but now in Georgia. So the salt and deicing junk from Michigan made this type of restoration impossible?
Couldn't sleep from it all and came across this. Beautiful.
No way I can do that... I'll buy new ones. Thanks for the video!
Great stuff as always Martin. You don't get that service at Quick Fit.
That was amazing job that you have done for that. Caliper it looks like you've just got it out of a box. Well done, Martin
Love to do this on my car, but in red.
Hi Martin,
Beter use ATE plastilub on the rubber parts and ceramic grease on the metal parts so you won,t disturb the antilocksystem (abs)
Greetings from Holland.
powder coating is far superior to paint, can you do me a bodyshell Martin, lol, best wishes.
That things more lubed up than my missus on a Friday night lol
Хорошо.
apart from the silicone grease which i don't know if is dot 3-4(+) break fluid compatible i think this is a good walkthorugh
She may have been rusty, but everything else looked brand new. Bleeder not even frozen.
Ah I don't have a shot blast... Guess it's more sandpaper for me then!!
Была совершена одна большая ошибка. Никогда нельзя смазывать внутри резинки направляющих,и сами направляющие. Именно резинки не гармошки. Они должны быть чистые и сухие, и направляющие так же.🫵🤔
Bit much doin it on your kitchen top mate bloody hell 😉
🤭
You should have powder coated them in either Red or Yellow to make people think they are high performance brake calipers.
What's the point. I'm not fueled by ego.
Cracking job, how much for a full service and MOT?
Your doing a few jobs on that signam I reckon be up for sale soon 😆😅😂👍
I wouldn't do all this work to sell it.
Wow
The slider pin on that model of ate caliper should be dry fit no silicone paste needed
Nice video what kind of grease is ok to use the one you use is out of stock
All that silicone grese is gonna contaminate the DOT 4 brake fluid being made of glycol... if it took DOT 5 youd be ok as its silicone based
No it won't, it will be fine
RetroHax Martin are you trying to get Sharon’s life insurance money 💰 😂
If you say so 👍
Use ATF assembly paste instead
I'd have used rubber grease for the piston seals and piston.
They come with silicone grease in the kit.
@@RetroHax I get that. Buy some parts include some grease. I use my own or an appropriate one. Silicone grease in the other places is fine. Even brake fluid as a lube for the seals would be fine
Got a brand spanking new caliper to my Chevy Camino for about 80 bucks, on ebay.
them mole grips need restoring!
10:15 well done, you've now contaminated your brake fluid with grease.
Hi Martin, did you use a new rubber seal kit? Nice job👍
Yes all new
Hi, i'm wondering, if i wanted to correct the imperfections on the caliper surface, can you powder coat over bondo?
This rebuilt caliper has a much better quality than a rebuilt Dorman caliper
You skipped over the worst part, getting the rubber sleeve to fit tightly against the brake piston all the way around!
Thinking about that part still makes me sweat..!
Все хорошо, но вот только направляющие пальцы открытого типа не мажутся смазкой)
