      I wrap the drill bit with a dryer fabric softener sheet. The meshy material doesn't tear like a paper towel would, and the flutes of the bit grab it nicely, resulting in a good scrubbing with only a few manual rotations of the bit.

    Main reason for viewing this video was to learn how a professional mechanic cleans the bore. I was expecting something like a small bottle brush but the drill bit is SO practical. Now I should go check my brake slider pins because I am sure that I used too much anti-seize grease and particularly within the bore and the end of the slider pin.

    • @Zeek800
      @Zeek800 8 หลายเดือนก่อน +5

      You don’t use anti seize on the calliper slide pins! It’s okay on the hub to make removing the rotor easier but silicon brake part lubricant is best and especially if you have the pins with the rubber bushing on them. Silicon won’t damage ( swell ) the rubber bushing or damage ( crack ) the rubber boot on the calliper slide pins which allows water into the slide pin bore. Grease is a petroleum product and it will “ eat up “ rubber parts.

    Thanks for the info, I just put in a full set of new brake pads this week and had 1/8 slider pins with much more rust than expected and not much silicone. Cleaned up with several cycles of insertion and cleaning of silicone, but plan to check out again and clean better soon with your information. Seal may actually have broken as well, will investigate a bit.

    Take the caliper bracket off, only 2 bolts and put the bracket in your vice. Remove the rubber accordian boots and clean them inside too. Use brake parts cleaner and a wire brush on the bores till all rust or dried grease is gone. I use regular wb grease on the pins. Re-assemble everything.

    Don't know if you grease the bracket where the brakes slide back/forth ? But if you do, it's better not to......sounds strange I know. But the grease on the sliding surface on the bracket, will collect dirt and drie up over time. Then at that ends of their slide travel it will build up. Your brakes won't fail, don't worry.....but it's actually better to let the bracket just rust as that rust will fall off / blow away....grease will dry up and build up at the end of the bracket with nowhere to go. Trie it on your own car and you'll see after a few years the grease became dried up gunk. 🙂 Thanks for the great video and tip for lubing the pins 😀

    Shoot some brake cleaner in there; remove the rubber boot and let it air dry a few minutes. Then stick the blue towel in there to clean up any lingering old lube/crud in the hole.
    Re-lube slide pins.
    Use Sil-glyde- rubber safe for the boot.
    Clean and re-lube brakes every couple years, brakes will last a little longer and work properly.

    I just had my rear end brakes and rotors done, but one side I had an issue with the longer slider pin not compressing after greasing it and cleaning the caliber whole, it was a big gap, I eventually replaced the longer sliding pin with the smaller sliding pin and it worked just fine, now the issue I'm having now is when I brake, my car makes clunking loud noise. Could the removal of the longer sliding pin be the issue since it was replaced by the same smaller pin as the one on the bottom?

Do you think failure to clean out the bores is my issue causing the pads to not release? I had replaced the rotors and the pads. I’m not sure why it scrapes. What would cause the scraping?

I went from 19 mpg mainly city to 24 mpg since doing that so it was really killing my gas mileage! One pin does not slide as loose in the driver side caliper as the other one but it’s moving ok and both pins in the passenger side caliper move loose. Not sure why the one pin was a bit stiffer. Maybe the heat messed up the plastic insert in the caliper as it is clean and I can’t think of what else could cause that. I did receive new inserts with my new pads and I considered to remove the old insert but I was concerned that maybe it’s not a perfect fit and then I have to replace the caliper if I mess it up. Do you think the one pin being not as loose will be ok? As mentioned, the gas mileage is significantly improved and there is no scraping and the wheel was feeling hot after being driven in the city for a while before, but now each wheel feels only slightly warm to the touch and the back wheels feel cold to the touch. I think that is normal considering the front has so much weight.

    I like to remove the rubber boots, clean the inside. They will have old dried up lubricant in there too. Then hit the chamber with some brake cleaner. Roll a shop towel into the size of the chamber (cigarette) and twist it inside till I get it clean and all the old grease out.

    You dont really need the rubber bushing if its swollen you remove it there is only a small chance of rattle

    I'm starting to believe the grease does more harm than good. I've never had more problems with uneven pad wear since i learned to 'properly grease' the pins.

      Too much grease on pin will cause issues I did video just on that

      I used less than you did, not even a year ago, and here i am with another pair of rotors wasted on one side.

      If you don't use grease the pins will rust to the bores and you will need heat from a torch to separate them. Don't ask me how I know this.

    it's like pulling wax out of your ear !!!.. turn the drill bit counterclockwise and use it like an Archimedes screw and it pulls out all the grease
