Throw that in the 360 and you can go Mach Jesus like Mike Patey.

👍🏻

Thank you.

This happened to me on my 10th Gen Accord Sport 1.5 T I believe there are a few less ball bearings but I will try to start assembling it now

Best video about ATE rear caliper with EPB on youtube

Thank you so much!!! You saved me from a new caliper after I accidentally rotated the shaft in the wrong direction. Tedious to rebuild but worth the time and swear words.

Thanks for sharing. I think they are all similar across all marques, in that I don’t think they have a mechanical stop, I believe they only stop when they meet resistance, which will be why this happened to you and others. Well done figuring that out 👍

Thanks so much Kraftwork. I have a Jaguar F pace with identical piston. Your video saved me a fortune. Bit fiddly but well worth it and I felt very pleased with myself once completed. 👍👍👍

just saved me, thanks a lot man

Praised the Lord for you. Just saved my bacon big time i saw all those barrings and panicked but you made it really simple actually

Oh snap I was preying that this wa goma be okay as i accidentlely turned on the ignition whilst the calaper was off. now Im up the swany without a panel. sheeat lol one lapse in consentraton and Boom! The day is buggered lol

These SPA rear calipers seem to be on intergalactic backorder from any source other than the dealer (where they cost an arm and a leg). This video is worth it's weight in gold. I was worried about the parking brake but it's great to see that it installs/removes from the piston and caliper easily. I tore off my dust boot to brush the rust off the piston and grease it so it moves again, but the dust boot appeared to be bonded to the caliper instead of sitting in a slot? Can you confirm that I'm wrong?

Nice video 👍

Nice. Still building Lancairs?

once again the amazing power of youtube and wonderful people sharing awesome knowledge!! Just did the same thing, got the whole thing spilled on the workbench, and already searched my purchase replacement options xD Thanks to you, there is hope

I know you're a true crime documentary enthusiast. I recommend watching the latest true crime documentary video. If you can share your thoughts, it would mean a lot to me.

Just had this happen to me on a VW Mk7 rear caliper, but I wound it out manually not knowing what was about to happen. It had 72 bearings, 8 small springs and both the different length long springs. I'm not 100% I didn't drop any, but could see anymore. Anyway, used your video and put it all straight back together, longest spring 6 balls, small spring, 6 balls, etc and finished with the other long spring. Pretty easy once you recover from the initial panic. Thanks👍

I have been working on my volvo since i got it. Same thing happened to me last week. I dont know the exact amount of springs and balls are there. Is there anyway i could buy any missing spring and ball. Thank you!!!

Thanks for this heads up. I used it a basis to rebuild my Ford Mondeo electric caliper, which seems to have the same adjustment mechanism. I too made the mistake of using the parking brake manually, with the motor removed, to eject the piston. However, I did catch 100% of the bits by tipping the whole lot into a magnetic tray. There are 70 balls, 10 small springs, 1 long spring and 1 extra long spring. I'm pretty sure the extra long spring goes in first (because I found it at the front of the carnage. I too spent some time rebuilding it, in the same way you did, but I did remove the back plate to get full access to feed the bits in. I decided to put the extra long spring first followed by a group of 8 balls, then a small spring and 6 balls repeatedly, and finally 8 balls and the long spring. I found that applying some downward pressure whilst rotating clockwise, helped in moving the balls down the screw, to make room for the next ones to be fed in. I then made sure the back plate went on in the extact position, that locked the machanism, with the back plate against the adjuster, but without any pressure able to be applied to the back plate by the screw motion. I then put on the holding clip.

same just happened to me. I just rotated the shaft the wrong way and too far. this stinks!!! what a nightmare for a simple job...and i even researched the EPB. So is it worth it to try to fix...or should I just buy a new caliper? looks complicated and worried it may not work correctly afterwards?

What CAD app do you use? Really looking forward to your build and the performance with the UL520T!

God bless you for that video! I have the same calliper on VW Passat B8 2017 european spec. Autofren sells the internal guts with piston so you can take from there if the ball bearing is lost. Cheers.

Well, the day this video helped someone fix the same issue is today. I did something similar to Patrick here. I knew you had to take off the back and unwind it manually, which I did, but I kept turning until the piston popped out, well I was like, no problem (well, not exactly, shit my DIY brake job is going to cost $$$$) I'll just push it back in, I did that and nope the handbrake sound was not nice afterwards, it would not engage and warning on the dash. This weekend I finally got the nerve to lift up the car again and take apart the caliper as per your video, and low and behold, that was obviously the issue. I had one more problem, one of the springs was nicely bent up, so I had to fix that first. As you said really wasn't hard to get the 'pusher' back together, the main issue was the piston into the caliper - found a cheat for this, took some plastic, made a funnel to leave it into the boot, then the piston in took the sleeve out and worked like a charme. Thanks for posting this video, it gave me the confidence to give it a try.

You don’t need a headrest in an airplane. You never touch it with your head and you never experience a crash from the rear. It’s just WEIGHT!😂

I just aquired the same kitplane. Already on gear def looking fwd to getting started on it

Good stuff. keep working at it! Any updates on recent developments?

The Lancair lacks a modern and safe airfoil. The NLF 215 is not suitable! The australian horizontal stabilizer is still much to small. Reed Harry Ribletts book for airfoils!

The BLUE winged 235 wirh a O290 engine is Don Goetz‘s airplane. It was the first production plane finished.

RED: one day Lance Neibauer sat down with me at the cafe shop in Santa Paula airport and asked me „what color should I paint the new 320?“ I said: „if you wanna hit the cover of every aviation magazine, make it RED? Lance did not like the idea due to UV and temperature concerns. I said: „the proof is the wooden RED GP4 of George Pereira. George made it on every front page!“ A few weeks later the prototype was painted RED 🥂😍🤩😎🚀

Is this kit up for sale?

"Beacuse I was a moron..." I love your commentary and I'm so glad you made this video! Because I, too am a moron and did exactly this on my 2019 XC60 when changing the rear pads and rotors - right side replacement went great but on the left side the EPB kicked in with the inner pad removed and overextended the piston as yours did. The piston did not come all the way out of the boot so unfortunately I thought I could simply rewind the EPB manually by using an E12 (I think?) external torx bit to turn the EPB shaft clockwise to unwind it and then re-compress the piston after that. While re-commpressing the piston I heard a number of cracks and pops and the piston would not fully retract to be flush with the boot, so I'm certain that some of the intrernals were damaged and it looks like a replacement caliper is in my future. My first experience changing brakes on an EPB-equipped car - live and learn.

Niiiiice

This was really fun to watch.

Doesn't this software cost thousands? I'm new to manipulating scan data and looking for a software to easily convert my scans to usable surfaces in CAD.

Ugh, now I need to sell my Mooney….. I miss these days when kitplanes were the bleeding edge of technology. Now everyone is making back country STOL aircraft. I live in the Midwest. Nothing is close to here, so we need fast aircraft! These fast glass planes were so awesome. Maybe Dark Aero will be the new Lancair.

This video is demonstrating VXModel not VXElements. VXElement is the parent program to VXScan, VXModel, VXInspect, etc.

get a tripod for the camera save yourself a bunch of head aces. Also invest in decent camera sound wide shot and your channel will grow fast.

Thank you very much for sharing this. Truly a joy to watch! Makes you appreciate how advanced they were at the time, and how they still stand up very well against modern offerings.

Hello : I am building a Lancair 360 Mk II kit. I have the Underwood Beluga fuselage mods, long wingtips, Zavatson landing gear doors, TK-5 shocks, etc. I am seriously considering the UL 520iS-T for my plane. Would like to share with everybody my progress. I haven't been able to rejoin the LancairTalk Forums, thought this would be the best way to stay in touch with the Lancair community.

Hi Chris, I am just completing my 360 fast build kit that was purchased 4 years ago with most of the major fabrication completed. I purchased a Baluga modification and installed it on the fuselage. I hope you understand how much work you have ahead of you. I suggest you begin a procedure that will allow working on multiple projects in the same time period. For example, wings, control surfaces, and fuselage components. You should be working on all of these components at the same time otherwise building will take forever. In addition, prepping finish components for paint also takes a lot of time. Also, figure out exactly how your antennas, major components of your navigation system will be located and installed. You should know where it all will be located. I would also consider building the backrest of the seat assembly to be removable to make it easier to work in the area behind the seat. Install your landing gear pump behind your seat and not behind the bulkhead behind the luggage space.. I also did not install the header tank in the cockpit instead main tank was enlarged to a max capacity 40 gals. Your videos are outstanding, please continue. The major fun to me about building a complex airplane is to research how other smart builders have solved many of the very complex issues building this airplane. The Dark aero project is also using the same engine you are planning to use but non turbo. You are making the airplane a lot more complicated with this choice. Is your project an R&D project or a build project? Turbo mods on 360's have just not been successful. I would definitely spend a great deal of time researching about how you are engineering the complex issues of turbos and intercooling. I hope your enthusiasm remains intact throughout your project.

Where did you ever find this?

Chris, this brings back memories! I was never involved but it was cool to pay attention too... Great editing and I'm pretty sure some narration...

Wow - really excited about this! Thanks for sharing your project with us.

We're ready for another build video:)

Nice work and congrats on your two kits acquisition. Very informative videos, thank you for sharing. I already subscribed and looking forward to follow along your projects. In future videos, could you share your thought process on modifying the wingtips (winglets/sharklets)? I understand they create an extra surface that redirects the air, reducing the vortex drag but why using them on Lancair 360 in particular? Have you done some specific analysis yet? BTW, great job on those 3D rendering. 👍

Hello I am watching you and wish you good luck! I am under construction my own airplane as well. Maybe it will be interesting for you th-cam.com/video/Tg3C7cyc7nU/w-d-xo.html

thank you for the update. I was going to do a vblog but its so time consuming, i would rather build.

Chris, I look forward to your build series.
