DIY Ferrari Brakes Repair Saved £6000 With A Simple Hack

Ferrari won’t sell the cheap parts to fix a common brake problem on several of their high end models so I fixed it with some simple hacks and saved an absolute fortune doing it myself.

Paul Turner says:

Try Barum Engines for the bolt removal

Big Baz says:

Just a quick bit of advise when putting components back together all threads need to have a dab of anti seize grease especially
when steel bolts are going into alloy as the two metals start to oxidise together in a very short time the reason you had that
calliper bolt snap it more than likely free up if a large nut like a 10mm with a 17mm nut is mig welded through the center of the nut
and built up to form it into a bolt, the heat generated should break the porosity between the steel and alloy use a six point socket
on the nut to prevent rounding off the Nut, and take it slowly to prevent breaking the weld, There should be someone down at your
friends garage where you have your BBi that can handle that for you easily. Keep up the good work and i'm especially interested on
how you get on with the BBi as I used to work on a few of them in the past.

Did you enjoy your daily dose

Jono Willetts says:

Can't you get a local company to spark it out?? We've sparked out broken taps in the past with our edm m/c.

Graham Palmer says:

Adding Copperslip to teh threads as you but the bolts back in will make next time you undo them ..so much easier !

Stuart Horswill says:

Something which really won’t have helped your brake line was that you didn’t disconnect it front the bad caliper before you took it off. It looks like there’s no flex line, so you were putting all the stress into the hard line. Those pipes are only about 0.75 mm thick, so doesn’t take much.

AshGTE says:

Weld a beefy washer onto the bolt. The weld a nut onto the washer. Inside and out. Let it cool down for 30 seconds and it should come out. Chase the threads with a tap and bobs your uncle.

Matthew Harmer says:

Just drill out the broken bolt to the correct tapping drill size ,then re-tap the thread.if you can't do this any machine shop could do this it's very easy.

Nick Brown says:

Barum engineering or any local engine re manufacturing company should be able to drill that broken bolt out and install a heli coil

I subscribed to your channel because I like the enthusiasm that you show to a brand that doesn't give a monkeys about its customers but – the amount of promotion you give to vpn just spoils it because the vpn you promote is a scam! .good luck with your future videos
