Hey Guys, As you have probably noticed already i have updated the channel name and logo. The channel is no longer Really Random Channel it is now RRC Restoration. Just incase you were wondering why the water marks in the video still say Really Random Channel. Enjoy.
I haven't seen anyone rebuild a caliper in a long time. Rebuilt caliper works as well as a new one and you know it's right doing it yourself, Nice job.
This video was very satisfying to watch. No rambling commentary, no annoying background music, no outside noise disrupting the process. Just a master of his craft diligently working. You can tell he really cares about the quality of his work too. He really gave this caliper some special treatment. Nothing overlooked or half-assed. The decal work he added was an especially nice touch. A superb restoration hands down.
Nope Beau, one left and one right green 50 HP caliper make 100 HP together; for it's the front axle caliper pair, it makes that little Miata an AWD also in the same go ...
i guess the paint is some kind of heat resistant. so it gets baked in while braking. normally you do that if the paint is half dry. but i did it also very late. no problem with that.
No apologies here required or received. This is almost emotional to watch and so satisfying. Some people rush too quickly through the process, but you show us. Bravo!
Watching you disassemble everything answered an Integrated Bellows question I was having. Specifically with the front brake calipers. Thank you very much.
One of the best videos (of any kind) I've seen. Great job. Changed my mk2 discs & pads recently. Cleaned them up but they didn't look as good as yours. Well done 👍👍👍👌
Finally!! A car related video with no commentary, no annoying person’s face saying: “Hey what’s up guys welcome to my channel! And today we’re going to be talking about.....” And remember to comment, share, like, subscribe..... God, I love you for making this video and just showing us what we care about!
I agree, dust seal are a nightmare to put on. My way is to put the dust seal on the caliper first then push the piston in and blow the piston using a hand pump so the seal will seat on the piston, proper lubrication is the key.
I tell you, it really is a pleasure to watch a pro at work, and do the job properly. I was a little worried when you used vice grips to remove the bleed nipple etc but was happy to see a ring spanner for the replacement of the new one! You had me confused with that whole reverse masking situation re MX-5 logo but then the penny dropped. Well done on an awesome job, and an entertaining video. Cheers.
Try Por15 next time. Is brush able, comes in multiple colors and resist Any fluids, also good at encapsulating Rust, which you got some a little. Miatas are plentiful and cheap in the Phoenix area, rust free. Come visit and drive home...
As a professional powder coater I can tell you after blasting those weren't even close enough to being clean enough to coat. All the dark in the gray areas is corrosion. When I blast that part will look silvery and uniform. Powder coating, we would have removed the vinyl after a partial cure. and then a full cure to seal the edges.
Clear won't stop it from peeling it most likely will make it lift the green paint didn't like the black single part paint also pulling tape on a single stage paint after it is completely cured gives it a better chance of pulling up paint
I have two observations: 1. After you laid the sticker you should have used primer again (really light colors or neon colors need a white base) 2. after the green paint, before drying you should have removed the sticker and then clear coat everything. You can see in the video that the surrounding paint tends to peal off. Imagine that after a while and some heat, when you will try to clean the caliper with a brush or a sponge. Otherwise a great project with amazing results. Keep up the good work and keep posting ^_^
I agree that he should remove stickers immediately after applying paint! Though temperature resistant clear coat may be hard to find in some regions (seriously) ... BUT! it would be great to apply it as well.
Hi, Thanks for your comment. The reason this sticker removal didn't go as smooth as planned is because i messed up a little and built the paint up too much around the sticker making the edges a bit harder to peel up but usually it works a treat and your left with a lovely deep looking logo.
Good job on the project. I recently did this myself during the x-mas holidays on my car. Just remember when fitting the seals and outer dust cap to do a few tests using the compressed air to check on the movement of the piston as in moves in and out of the cylinder. I'm not sure what grease packet you used but I'd only use brake fluid to grease the internal parts with the seals.
Wow, the caliper‘s look amazing! Great Job! I‘m very impressed how you‘ve done the font! Maybe i had a little useful tip, how to install the cuff much easier. If you put the cuff on the piston and slip it down to the end of the piston. So you could handle the cuff-end with on the piston easily and slide it in the cuff-nut. After the nut is round on in the nut, slide the piston back into the caliper. It‘s much more safe and comfortable!
OH MY GOD... I can't believe this, I'm getting more and more addicted to this channel XD Brutally feeds my hunger for perfection PS - speaking of perfectionism :D I would have tear out the mx-5 writing while the green varnish was still half fresh and soft... so it would not risk to break around the edges while tearing! And maybe, a spray of glossy coat on the whole structure would have made it jet black, and fill out the "hole" of the writing. It would have looked SOOOOO factory made (drooling)
Hey, Thanks for the tip. I didn't remove the paint from the carrier as there are stainless steel shims that go on it so the brake pads will never actually be in contact with the painted surface.
@@RRCRestoration Yes, I understand. But the thickness of the paint may delete that little slack that the pads and shimms need to work properly. I am a mazda mechanic and that is my small advise. I dont want to be too obtrusive. That's why that surface is flat and always cleaned.
@@RRCRestoration it is not going to be a problem. If the shim fits, it will not seize anything. Just a big mouth trying to give you crap on the internet.
@@RRCRestoration oh you would need a bag full of special tools. No problem to disassemble the top and bottom part but to change the bearings and the pressure plate. Oh and it's hard to get tools for the gear mechanism. Trust me, it would a nightmare.
A RestoreIt and RRC upload within 4 hours of each other? What a time to be on youtube! Here's to seeing the MX5 restored... 1 vid at a time :D awesome work as always!
Looks great! If you ever do this again, you should think about taking the stickers off before assembling the calipers, and clear coat over the top so the green paint wont chip or peel back, other than that these look amazing, im gunna have to give this a shot!
Hello budy, how are you? I was missing your videos. As always very interesting to be gratifying to see a piece restored as new. Success for you always okay? Hugs.
This is more like "I did it an I show it to you" than "how to do it". By the way, the colour is fantastic, and people can talk about it all that we want. If you don't like it, that's not our problem, get over it man.
Good video, only thing I did different was the removal of piston. I blocked the banjo bolt hole with my thumb and blew compressed air in the bleed nipple hole to push it out. It took very little force and came out straight away.
It seems pretty pristine to me, before, of course, for a car that age. Living in an area where sticky salt is used to melt any snow from the roads; beach cars regularly are "as new" for us in comparison ... 😖
I reckon. What does give first? The multilayer flaky pastry tin structure or the (on first sight ...) more stable looking bars and strutts, corroding away in light velocity at any weld and bend ...? Steerings wandering through flaky pastry when the wheel is turned, engine mounts breaking through secondary framing rusted to crumbs when revved, drivers seats falling to the ground when driving through depressions, wheels flying off together with disc, caliper and all the rest when steered into a pothole by accident ... salt is the worst ting we can do to our cars, be it maritime environmental salt near the beach or pickling roads in snowy areas.
You don't have to leave tha pistons in when you're blasting because it doesn't matter if you scratch the machined surfice in the cylinder since the piston doesn't touch it. The seal is the only thing that will cause a leak. Although you don't want to get blasting sand in the bleeding canals. I usualy just put something in the bottom of the cylinder to block the sand. With the piston out it's easier to blast the whole caliper and you don't have to sand it by hand. Great videos!
@@BlueCrystal1996R to me there is. Mainly because stock wheels are generally ugly on a lot of not most cars. Unless it going for a full stock restoration.
зря так поздно наклейку отодрал, там видно как краска отставать начала, надо было сразу после покраски убирать, со временем в этом месте краска может начать отлетать, а так работа вообще топовая)
My job is a industrial sandblaster/welder and a tip to saving threaded holes is to roll up a bit of duct tape into joint shape and just thread it into the hole
Great video, thanks for sharing! Someone said that you cold buy stickers... Yeah you also can buy custom brakes caliper... But video is about to restore yourself! It's showing that anyone can do it with few tools and good knowledge! Last ear I restored my Dodge Neon ''99 and was awesome finished product, and its giving a great self-esteem... ( bad that I wasn't post any video...).
Hey, The reason the sticker was a bit difficult to remove is that i actually built the paint up a tad too much around it causing it to be held down a bit more. Thanks for the comment.
You have an integrated workshop and your work in the re - pieces is creative and your possibility allows you to return every user to a new thought and creative work Thank you
should of taken the decals off while the paint was still soft so it wouldnt pull up the paint like that and it will last longer through out the different weathers and the heat it takes when used. Other than that man, this is a great change on these calipers. keep the good work up.
@@emailadmun21 he could've played it off and said, "This is my technique for loosening heavily rusted nuts and bolts" good to see an honest mistake, responded to honestly.
Call me picky just because I work in an oem brake manufacturing plant I would have taped off the mounting surfaces and the machines broached areas where the pads go just for fit form and function. It might not effect the brake performance but it might cause paint build it later in time but eventually it will rub off. But I could have covered the machine surfaces.. this is still bad ass if like to add it’s satisfying to watch
I have a suggestion. When using paint masks. Remove them after the paint has started to set up but before the paint is dry. This well give you nice soft edges with less risk of pulling the paint up. The masks will also be MUCH easier to peel off.
I've just done mine in a similar fashion to you and I really enjoyed it. Getting the new piston in was a bit tricky but other than that, it's satisfying as hell.
I did the same for my MK3.5. Unfortunately i didn't know about the importance of primer at that time so I will have to redo this at some point. You can actually use vinyl stickers and they hold without any problems. There are 2 other things to consider. You most probably need to apply clearcoat. Also check that clearcoat is compatible with your paint before applying it or test it somewhere else (ask me how I know..). Second thing is if you plan to take your car to a track your calipers will get black. I painted both front and rear in red color and after 4 years i have red calipers in in the back and black in the front. Just something to keep in mind.
Near perfect job. With that level of restoration, the pitted bolt heads and jacked up bleeder valve should have been replaced. And what, no bleeder valve cap? It's all about the details. I look forward to you taking parts like this to the next level. Powder coating is something I think you would enjoy.
the grease is for lubricating the sliding pins and the rubber guides to make them go in easier, it shouldn't be used on the piston nor anywhere in the cylinder as it may react with the brake fluid and/or affect its propperties

Hi, Thanks for your kind comment and im glad you enjoyed the video :)
Green paint adds 50 hp
at least ;) haha!
Quick, do the other side or that extra 50 hp on the one wheel will make you go around in circles.:)

Nope Beau, one left and one right green 50 HP caliper make 100 HP together; for it's the front axle caliper pair, it makes that little Miata an AWD also in the same go ...
That's why I got red
Was I the only one expecting to see a clear coat at the end? Only because when he was peeling off the stickers, the paint was coming up with it.
uBreakIt iRepairIt was thinking the same
@@craftydayv1 no clear coat would be baking the cake, uncleared paint is no Bueno
i guess the paint is some kind of heat resistant. so it gets baked in while braking. normally you do that if the paint is half dry. but i did it also very late. no problem with that.
can't put a clear coat on and retain Matte Black lettering.
that and the fact that he did not sand off the banjo bolt hole

You can be any othef craftsman in any industry where patience is needed. Bravo for the job, to me it looks unreachable level, somehow a lot to do.
Those slider pins need to be free so that the pads wear evenly. I see you greased them during reassembly, good work fella.

Also check that clearcoat is compatible with your paint before applying it or test it somewhere else (ask me how I know..). Second thing is if you plan to take your car to a track your calipers will get black. I painted both front and rear in red color and after 4 years i have red calipers in in the back and black in the front. Just something to keep in mind.
The rest of your car better be getting just as much love as that caliper
WOW - just wow - incredible work
Thank you so much :)
Охрененно,шедеврально,сколько работы,это просто жесть.Но итог работы того стоит!!! Мастер просто супер спец!!!
Near perfect job. With that level of restoration, the pitted bolt heads and jacked up bleeder valve should have been replaced. And what, no bleeder valve cap? It's all about the details. I look forward to you taking parts like this to the next level. Powder coating is something I think you would enjoy.
If you wanna clean the rust off calipers just drop them in some "evaporust" for 2 days .they'll come out like new...no labour required
That caliper looked like you found it magnet fishing lol top work on the resto very satisfying.
WOW.... WONDERFULL WORK!!!!
Thanks for share it.
Hello from Brazil mate!
Cool never knew how to pop out that piston... well done
this was so satisfying to watch
Loved the video , your meticulous and nice clean working area ,a pleasure to watch
Thank you very much :)
the grease is for lubricating the sliding pins and the rubber guides to make them go in easier, it shouldn't be used on the piston nor anywhere in the cylinder as it may react with the brake fluid and/or affect its propperties
Hey thanks for the comment. The red rubber grease is designed for brake assembly and is 100% brake fluid compatible ;)
i love the detailed closeups... great camerawork!!
Thank you, I try my best :)
