Great video, in the process of doing this, couple questions.
1. Do you have a link to the exact seeger ring pliers? I bought some but they arent long enough
2. How did you know what position to put the ebrake arm back on in?
3. What is the grease in the small squeeze tube that you used?
Hi, thanks for asking.
1. I'm using very similar to this one: Long Nose 50 mm Snap Ring light duty Internal Circlip Pliers 1.2mm Tips link: www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Long-Nose-50-mm-Snap-Ring-light-duty-Internal-Circlip-Pliers-1-2mm-Tips/310147049669?_trkparms=aid%3D222007%26algo%3DSIM.MBE%26ao%3D2%26asc%3D20140122125356%26meid%3Dd088e3cc8dc340c8bb478d24bd08e1c8%26pid%3D100005%26rk%3D3%26rkt%3D7%26mehot%3Dag%26sd%3D183517365085%26itm%3D310147049669&_trksid=p2047675.c100005.m1851
2. I always take a picture before I disassemble something, but anyway when you put back hand brake cable bracket it has got some kind of bumper at the end, bended part 90 deg ( ruclips.net/video/YHPX8lEHFKs/видео.html#t=11m35s in video, on the left side) and ebrake arm have to touch this bumper or be as close as possible.
3. It's silicone grease for brake piston , safe for rubber elements, www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Silicone-PTFE-Lubricant-Grease-For-Brake-Pistons-Valves-Taps-Joints-Gaskets-6ml/162730609118?epid=1754588867&hash=item25e38009de:g:uUEAAOSwESdcbHzT
@@carsguidediy You shoud use it on all ruber.
@@CRiCU90 Some applications here demand lubricant properties that PTFE can't really deliver.
@@pr0xZen
How can you tell ,why are you so sure❓❓❓👍🏻
@@gottmituns3225 Because PTFE starts to deteriorate at 260°C and it decomposes beyond 350°C 🙂 Several components in auto brake (caliper) assemblies get _much, _*_much_* warmer than that, especially during extended or heavy application.
"Ordinary" brakes are entirely friction based. When you clamp the brakes to stop, the kinetic energy of literally ton(s) of mass traveling at (high) speed, within just a few seconds, is converted _almost entirely_ into heat. Like, *_a lot_* of heat. Super duper mega-a-lot 😊
Hence silicon lubricants Because they can "take the heat" (and don't really evaporate) ^^,
It's great to see there are still people willing to rebuild calipers.
Just one way different.
Do not put grease in the O ring grooves. Grease the O ring are it's installed. Why? Because the grease under the O ring will make it tighter and wear out fast. O rings only need lube on the surface that moves.
Great video 😅
A level of skill and attention to detail rarely seen in a commercial environment - I’d take a properly rebuilt OEM caliper over a cheapo reman 100% of the time. Well done. 👍
Veoma pedantno,veoma precizno,veoma poučno i korisno za sve kojima ne smeta da malo zaprljaju ruke.Hvala majstore 👍🏻🙏🏻
Explains why calipers are expensive with such small parts. Glad it can be a rebuilt and excellent video.
Great video! I was looking for this exact thing about 6 months ago and coulnd't find anything as well detailed as your video. You have a new subscriber.
You read my mind, I was also repairing my rear brake system last summer and looking for something like this:))
What a awesome video helped me out loads fully restored the rear calipers on my astra vxr
This man showed a quality work
This was so relaxing
Thank you. Its very much appreciated. As a heavy duty mechanic I enjoyed your work. Keep it up
Excellent video. You are a competent worker.
What a beautiful video. Thoroughly enjoyed
Excellent work. Really helpful, made the job a whole lot easier, thanks!
Amazing job ! No Lyrics, just clean work. I thank you for this video !
Great video 👍🏻
I have the same problem now with handbrake. Thx for video! Lets start restoration :)
One of the best videos I have seem. Will be using this to help me to dismantle a caliper from a Peugeot 407 which is the same design.
And 307 is the same.
Great video, very detailed.
Just finished this job and I would like to add one bit of information in case someone needs it.
You MUST compress the handbrake mechanism before you install its circlip. If you don't you will never be able to properly seat it and the handbrake will not work.
I used my brake calliper wind back tool with a suitable socket to hold it down while getting the circlip in place.
You can check afterwards by manually operating the handbrake lever and seeing if the piston continues out which is the correct way.
so before putting the last clip back in place i need to put the piston inside the caliper, compress it, remove the piston and than install the circlip?
@@caioramos5198
Not the piston.
The part where he puts the handbrake mechanism back into the calliper at 9:06.
You need to compress it slightly on the metal surface surrounding the big thread or the circlip won't be seated even though it looks like it is.
The way to check is to operate the handbrake lever at the end like he did at 12:53 and the piston should keep coming out of the bore. If it doesn't the circlip is not correctly seated and the handbrake will not work.
Well done mate great video 👌
One of the best videos showing the handbrake self-adjuster parts inside the brake piston.
However, you did put the spring and bearing back to the brake piston in opposite direction compared to the position they were installed when you took them out.
Great video and explained everything exactly thank you so much keep up the good work
You make this look to easy man,for me I wouldn’t never attempt this,but you make it look easy,top job
Lmao why? It's not hard at all
Great!!! I needed a DIY on how to rebuild caliper.
Thanks!! ;)
W końcu jakiś porządny poradnik.
Thanks man!!
i'm hanging out at the shop, going thru a whole mk4 Jetta.
I got held up on what I was doing, and there is never nothing to do.
So I need to repair a caliper anyways (it's on a lengthy list) and I have the kit, so here I am on a Saturday night.
I guess there's no brakes being put on this party!!
Folks, don't worry I have a day job.
Thanks again.
Nice job! With some grease works better than new! 👍👍👍
Great video, thanks a bunch! Saved me from scrapping a caliper and buying a new one - local dealers are extremely expensive, and shipping here is so costly it's more to return the old "core" than the core deposit in return. I'm gonna need some of that mechanism though, road salt and rust got in there really good.
Great video. Helped me!
Nice work👍
Top class video best on RUclips I have ever seen please load up more. Kind regards from uk.
Goede en leerzame video. Ik was vooral benieuwd naar het mechanisme van de handrem. Nochtans opletten voor mensen die niet volledig op de hoogte zijn van remtechniek. Remmen blijven zeer belangrijk en ik vrees voor de amateur technieker die fouten gaat maken. Voor hen is het misschien beter om een nieuwe te kopen of het werk uit te geven aan een ervaren technieker.
finally helpful video! first normal "car dude" on ytube.
Piękna robota widać że dla siebie👍:)
Just about to do this on my E34 5 series - thanks for sharing very useful !
Love this video step by step guide well-done
You're a life saver. Thank you.
Amazing video, very thorough thanks for sharing.
This is a fantastic job
Great video! 👍👍
Thank you so much for the video!
I like this alot this is very professional work, good job.
This video saved me big time. Thank you for sharing your experience!!!
Thank you so much. This video helped me massively! The main rubber boot piston seal was a bit of a fiddle, but got there! 😂
Thank you very much, awesome vid!
Thank you mate, most excellent video.
Svaka čast.
Congratulations for your tuto. Good work. I understand now how it works. And all this without speaking!!!
Este foarte detaliat 10 nota,puțini știu a face un tutorial.Din cît se vede astai profesia din vare faci banii
Sir very good work and nice viedo
Precizno, pedantno i čista 10.Svaka čast za trud...
Great instructional video. Congratulations. One comment I would like to make is I have never seen that type of contamination before on a brake caliper. It is like a gooey oily substance. Normally they are covered in dry brake dust.
Thank you ,great video :)
I really appreciated this video. I'm going to attempt to rebuild my rear calipers on my 03 Olds Aurora, it has a similar piston style. At 1st I wasn't sure how to do it but because of your video I'm confident that I can do them now! However I was wondering why you didn't paint the caliper before doing rebuild? Anyway was still a great video!
You’re a God, I’ve looked everywhere on earth on how to rebuild my Kia Rio calipers, i was about to spend $120 on 2 new rear ones.
Video says Volkswagen but the caliper is the same as a Kia Rio’s
I don't think they have the same mechanism. I disassembled an OE Mando caliper, but I found it's practically impossible to rebuild/reassemble the caliper parts back without some type of special tool. There are 2 springs you need to compress to put the circlip into the groove.
Thanks for this guide!
thank you,it was a perfect expression.
Done mine 💞 thanks, FYI I found the seat Leon kit cheaper than the VW one?! Seat kit same and fitted fine,good luck to all ☺️
Great video, thanks!
multumesc excelent...
La mulți ani, de ziua familiei!
Дружище ты мегакрут. 👍👍👍. Ты вдохновил меня. Пойду переберу суппорты.
Great video
Great job
trés beau travail, très explicite , je m étonne que vous démontiez sans avoir nettoyé un peut l ensemble ,pour plus de visibilité !!sinon parfait ,jp
Great job well done
Fantastic job! I will try it! Now I know why the mechanic replaced the whole caliper instead of rebuilding it. He unscrewed two bolts and a banjo bolt and just bleeded it in the end.
Amazing
Bravo chef
This is an excellent demonstration, even without sound. Does anybody know where I can find a detailed description of how the auto adjusting feature of these parking brakes work?
wish you the best
Excellent
Looks good.
Finally got it👍I am gonna do the same thing with my damn car.thanks a lot dude
very helpful video thanks for posting
Brilliant vid. Off to do my BMW mini calipers now.. What music is this, stuck in my head now..!!
Adam piston tamir etmiyor insan ameliyat ediyor 😊 ne kadar özenli ve temiz çalışıyor 😊birde bizim ustalara bak toz lastigini tornavidanin keskin yeriyle yerine yerleştiriyor
The music made me feel like I was having my caliper refurbished in Nando’s ! Lol
Awesome Video thank you , going to need to do this rear brakes are sticking and much cheaper option than buy new calipers
23 euros vs 140 took me a while as it was very seized but now works perfect thanks again for the vid
I didn't need to rebuild my calipers...but it was very cathartic watching this being done.
Gratuluję, bardzo dobrrra rroobbboottaaaa
Alot of goood work there. Makes me think wonder if I would rather buy a factory recon caliper for around £50-£70
Bardzo dobra robota! :)
loved this video - super clear. just please no more repetitive music, i can't hear this song play for the 5th time in a row.
The music was ok, the first time. I had to mute it after the third time, and I still haven't recovered.
These Lucas style rear calipers are fitted to a huge range of European cars & vans, they come in differing size & alloy or steel, and are very simple to repair, having said that I just fitted a cheap-O to my T4 Cali camper, after 2 attempts to get the adjuster to leave some pad-to-disc clearance causing the brake to drag and excessive pad wear I gave up, I’ll have another go when I have time as I want the original Lucas back on my 21 year old VW van.
good job 👌
nice video thanks 💪
excellent vid thanks
Great explicación
Es un tesoro este video
Saludos de MECATRONIC 🇲🇽🤗
J'aurais du voir cette vidéo avant de démonter mon étrier, sur cette vidéo j'ai appris entre autre qu'il fallait mettre d'abord le soufflet sur le piston et ensuite dans la gorge de l'étrier. Merci Cars guide DIY
Good video. You do love that grease !! 😂
very awesome thank you
Thank you for taking the time to make this excellent video. Can you tell me if the internals are the same for a 2001 audi a6. I have read that for some older audis removing the seeger ring will cause the spring to explode outward if it is not compressed first.
Excellent working method
Это называется профессиональное комплексное обслуживание суппорта!👍
Toata stima! Thanks!
awesome video
Brilliant vid thansk😊
Thank you very much
great video
Extraordinary, simply extraordinary!!!!🙂🖖✌
well done Pal
