I am appreciative of you showing all the video, and not skipping through all the work like "viola!" this is going to help me when I do my jeep caliper as I figure the designs are pretty much the same across brands unless its like multi-puck sports car calipers or something, good work!
Great video in that instead of editing out your mistakes and errors you kept them in so we could learn from them also, shows you are a genuine person and not some overly proud primadonna!
Thank you for taking the time to make the video and share your work. 😉
Very nice video. Points for showing the trials and errors when placing the gaskets.
Do you think that replacing the gaskets would be possible without removing the caliber brake lines? If you block the lines so they wont leak while one takes the piston out.
Noticed that you had copper paste on the outer gasket which might be bad for the gasket. It might be better to use the same special stuff you had for the gaskets or use common brake grease.
The thick accent was sometimes difficult to understand. Nevertheless, I understood most of the video. It was also a bit slow and tedious at times, where an acceleration in FPS would be useful. Although initially I didn't think I'd learn any tips from this video, I did learn some useful tips. Therefore, despite the video/audio deficiencies, I found this video useful to me…Thank You!
Can I use Permatex Dielectric tune up grease on the guide pins if I don't have the caliper grease?
This was very relaxing. I had it in the background while I was doing my accounts…lol 🙂
Thank you Peter for taking the time to explain what is needed. Appreciate this very much and is most helpful. Thank you again.
You can eject the piston from the caliper on the bench with compressed air, but make sure you put a brake pad or a piece of wood in the caliper to catch it as it pops out, and wind down the air pressure regulator to a low setting because it can pop out with some force.
Also, you can use brake fluid to lubricate the piston and seals instead of grease.
Finally, a "G" clamp or "C" clamp is a useful tool when doing this job. It can be used to press in the piston and also to limit travel when popping the piston out as described above.
peter finn. I need a new gaskit. where can I purchase or shoukd I just purchase new caliper
peter finn the legend
I have a 2010 Skoda Octavia II with ABS, can I still take off the brake line off the caliper like you do and put it into bottle without worrying of getting air into ABS pump or any other critical component?
Thanks this helped me knowing how the piston should move after install. My problem was rust under dust boot pushing on piston. After removal and clean up all works good. The kit for my Nissan Largo was not right for the Square cut seal as it did not sit completely flush in chamber making it difficult to get piston past. My old Square cut seal were ok to use again with better pistons. How many spins will the wheel do when you let go ? i get one turn but that is better than before.
Good job man! Keep it up brother.
Why do everything twice.
I just did this job today on both my front calipers. I found it much easier to just leave the caliper hooked up. After pulling it off the rotor, a handful of brake pumps pops the piston out, at which point I pinched off the brake hose. Sanded, polished, cleaned, lubed lightly with silicone and stuck it back in. Takes a little finesse to get the rubber back on, and the bleeder valve needs to be open to push the piston back in, but overall it seemed a lot simpler then completely removing the caliper. Hopefully they don't seize up for a while now..
Superb Video  ! All what you need is here 🙂
Hey Peter, I own a 2010 Toyota corolla and I changed the left front caliper piston seal today. I only did the left side for today. But when I went to pump the brake which was several times the brake wouldn't work . I was just going to do the front left side then do the right front caliper piston seal at a later date. What am I doing wrong?
Great video.
good vid but edit the thing comrade
my paint was dry a long time ago.
Is bleeding complete when there are bubbles in the clear tubing? It looked that way when you tightened the bleeder bolt near the end.
This is a great video. It shows in gory detail the steps needed to rebuild a caliper. Anyone who's not planning to do many of these is probably better off getting a rebuilt part.
Hi. you did a excellent job and i enjoyed every minute of your video. thank you for moving thru it so the old timers like me can understand that not everything is rush rush rush.
wow that was painfull Â
