This may be my opinion but I'd say those screws are for assembly line purposes. The screws hold the rotors on while they roll down the assembly line before the wheels are fitted idk maybe.
quick add on to your tip about the brake caliper slider pins being cleaned and greased, make sure you use a silicone grease rather than ordinary grease. ordinary grease makes the rubber components on the sliders/in the slider housings swell up and they still stick. silicone grease avoids that effect. im sure you already know this, but viewers may not.
If anyones the guy to find parts its that Benny dude from BCW, heard he's pretty good with that kind of thing.
Hi al/woody. About to watch your new vid now😉
Heard al an woody from skid factory are pretty good too.. hit em up for subaru adaptions and mr2 parts.. get the dog....btw dont hit the beach in nsw.. covid plus sharks is good for culling foreigners buts ausies chooks no better so hit the beach you hooded pricks..
Overnight parts from Japan, surely?!
But can he find a Skyhook to hang my bicycle on?

new merch idea
The screws in the rotors are used on the assembly line so the don't fall on any workers before wheels are attached. Other than that there is no need for them
yeah , took me years to discover this
Maybe until calipers are mounted? They can't fall off with calipers on.
Didnt know that, learnt something new today.
oooooohhh that makes total sense now.
Trying to remove them can be annoying when they're completely seized on lol
The new wheels give me a full chub
Cleaning/greasing the slide pins is a good tip. People always miss doing them and wonder why brakes are uneven
Use an impact screwdriver to take the screws out of the discs (as in one you hit with a hammer), or a quick jab with the ugga-dugga will probably work. Also, tightening the bolt slightly will sometimes crack the rust.
I really love that Century, it looks really good, the white with the chrome/gold wheels fit the car really good, and looks even better slammed with the air suspension, like a real VIP car haha, i hope you put a custom exhaust on it at some point! 👀
Devine aka Mike has a slammed ls 400
V dubs have those brake disc location screws aswell, made of aluminimum and screws into a steel hub, greatest idea on the planet. Just drilled them out after they ripped off on three corners and welded the hole shut. Engineers sometimes... Should be part of their education that they have to work on the stuff they design.
Benny, you'll need an oversized gold chain necklace with diamond encrusted BCW logo to match with that wheel bling now. :D
Or a gold tooth, your choice.
Benny wrenching on Toyotas to dark synth wave is something I can watch to the end. Props to Benny and editor from Hokkaido Japan.
How am I just discovering this channel!!!! Benny! Super thrilled
One of the most satisfying brake job videos I’ve seen
Such a phat ride and those WHEELS! On point mate, look just perfect. Thanks for a great year Benny. Not just awesome vid content but also all th amazing things you have done for humanity this year. Bring on 2021.
was pretty cool to run into you out at tahmoor, was wondering when there was going to be a video out on this. Thanks for the chat benny!
Never thought a sentry will make me smile... Tons of room... Nice
nice job with the lil wheel tease around 15:30 hahahahahaha. Just enough to be like Ooooh Ooohhh what is it????
They look flippin SICK !!!! Absolutely beautiful wheels. They fit the car style so well.
what a sick car...super clean example. those wheels are absolute mint
Car looks amazing. Looks like a cool, comfortable cruiser.
Quiktrip to get brake rotor screws out of Hondo's and Toyotas is an impact driver you hit it with a hammer and it turns a screw out
Such a clean unique car love it! Pretty "grangster" looking lol
right? ganster af, I saw yakuza cars in Tokyo that had this look going on.
Gangster as Fark!!!!!!! love it looks mint
Nice change to seeing a barge that’s different to all the Caprices and Fairlanes on the road.
Figs Engineering does a kit to adapt those calipers to your IS200... if they can pull up a Century they should be awesome on the Lexus!
I was going to fit some but they’re very tall Nd clash on most of the wheels I have
This is super cool to see, I plan to import a Century by July this year. Good to know you have found a bunch of service parts and common parts for the car.
Can you provide a complete review of the centry Benny, looks mint 👌🏻
Love this car benny, the JDM Bentley mate😄
hey benny, I’ve been following your compliance journey in the century FB group and am super happy to finally see it in a video. I hope we get to see lots of videos on it as I think they’re sick cars and I’m keen to see more here in aus
And now I want a big saloon, Lexus LS or something, man the Century looks so right with those wheels !
Looking great Benny, a well fed and patiently rumbling monster. 👍
In the first episode I didn't think much of the Century, but the bad boy is growing on me, particularly with the new wheels.
0:30 Damn that thing is looking sharp
@14:49 That reveal... wow
Ive seen so many in black - beautiful in white. Id love to replace my aging Caprice with one for my chauffeur business
Hot damn, the literal choice of transport for Japanese CEOs. The award of long hours of overtime and climbing the corporate ladder. Or having money.
Nice choice in the wheel department mate! Thanks for the handy little tips, much appreciated! I hope you and the family enjoy your Christmas!
PS.. I am warming to these thing's!!!
Love those wheels so much!
tease tease tease and then BOOM! full wheel frontal. sic.
The filter is the same one they use on the Toyota Coasters
Great info on the slide pins and bedding in process, it'll benefit the uninitiated. 👍
Super clean lookin century
Those wheels are sick !!!!!!!
I was puzzled when you initially said you were lucky you can reuse the brake sensor, until you explained why.
They are completely different to the ones I've seen and reused. The ones I've met are a single conductor in plastic blob. They work by earthing the wire through the disk then it wears down, and that makes the light come on, so with that type you can reuse as long as there's still some metal contact left in the end (maybe put a little bit of paint over the shiny bit to protect it, but the disk will rub through any oxide when it hits next time anyway!).
Oh and one last thing... Seized bolts, get some left hand drill bits, they often pull them out. Worst case they just drill the head off anyway.
That’s what I drilled the heads off with ;)
@@BennysCustomWorks Ah, I couldn't tell the rotation in the video! They've saved me a few times!
As you were Sir ;-)
Happy Christmas!
@@juststeve5542 merry christmas mate.
Thanks for all insider tips! 🇦🇺
Those brake slide pins should be lubed with silicone grease. Petroleum based grease will cause the protective boots to swell, allowing water to enter and cause the pins to rust and seize. I know this because I was once a Honda tech, and the old geezers that always told me I had a lot to learn were using bearing grease on those, and when I showed the service manager what was happening, they wound up having to pay for hundreds of repairs of seized slide pins due to years of those old bastards doing it wrong.
seen this at gtr festival looks awesome
when you putting the ITBs, 12-1 headers and high comp pistons into it?
Fully built engine from Hartley Motorsport?
@@upgradeNEVER Why would Benny buy in when he can do it himself?
Naah, this car's a cruiser, not a race car
The Century that is!
Good job on getting 100K subs, Benny!
Good to see you using rubber grease on the caliper slider pins! if anything else is used the rubber anti rattle ring on the pins will swell and cause the sliders to bind up... pain in the arse. you would be surprised how many people don't know this.... also for the wear sensors I normally just short them at the socket... if your doing regular services no need for them anyway.
Wheels are legit mint!!! I needed a tissue after that
man Toyota made some good fridges.
I seen this down the local supercheap and it looks even better in person, I had the blue aristo
I was surprised to see an Aristo :)
@@BennysCustomWorks i was just as surprised to see a century in person, i could see you looking for a lexus badge lol
@@scotttamblyn988 the badges on the rear doors were the give away
Looks dreamy in white.
What a beast of a car!
Would the disc locating screws be JIS not Philips hence the easy stripping ? They are only really there during assembly line location......edit as previously mentioned a load already down there 🙈
It's like a big version of an MX83 Cressida , cool looking ride .
That's one seriously cool machine!
Sticking slide pins can also cause creaking or popping when applying the brakes.
That thing looks Phat !!! Love it !
god it looks soooo goooodd ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Man, this car looks so good for a luxury barge.
I'd have one!
century is soo fricking nice
Presidential style benny.
Looks amazing man. 👍
Awesome ep Benny! Love your content
meticulous work, very enjoyable to watch, have a good Christmas Benny!
I wonder if those disc screws are JIS head instead of Phillips and that's why they're stripping? I usually have good luck with an impact driver, one of the hammer powered ones, not an electric thing.
GORGEOUS!!!
Awesome vid mate always learning something new
That is sooo nice, you must be proud as
I've had luck getting those screws out with a hammer driver ns if that's the name of it but u can put any bit in them then u hammer the other end and it spins them out
Impact driver. That's what I use in there Canadian rust. Does the trick most times
Yup that's the one in the rust belt a bit south of u but same
Anti-seize on the disc retaining screws? Switch to stainless? You need a set of JDM Yakuza decals for the side windows...
the paint won't mess up the pads?
Worth noting if the slide pins have the rubber seal around them, not to use copper grease. Use silicone grease. Copper grease will eat the rubber seal.
18:27 'Just waiting for a mate!'
I thought he got pulled over when I saw the HWP and Benny with his hazards on
Bodykit is sick
Looks so cool 😎
What size turbo you putting on this Benny? Turbo is standard fitment once these motors are over here isn't it?
Was going to get one way tooo big . Thoughts ?
@@BennysCustomWorks it’s the only way.....
@@NuggetGarage century supreme.
Benny use an impact driver to get those screws out. Works a treat
Give it a bit of a clean while you're under there. It's beautiful but I love to think it's what's inside that counts.
So customs threw away the pollen filter but left the engine air cleaner?
Painting the rotor hubs! I do the same. I can’t stand it when they go rusty.
That is a beautiful car my dude. Cant wait for NZ import laws to change to try get one in! Soo sexy.
What about them? Centurys dont seem to be all that unusual to see in NZ.
There’s heaps of them in NZ compared to AU
My question is with painting the rotor hats - does the excess paint on the pad running surface contaminate the pads?
It’s only overspray so burns off during the bedding in process
Oversized novelty car. Sweet
Those wheels 👌👌
This things long. Benny 2020.
merry Xmas Benny thanks for the Vids
Is it possible to do equal length headers on the century ?????????
Heck yes.
want one. damm they look cool.
Bit excited there benny
looks so good in white! Still got it man? Anything changed/needed replacing since? Waiting on mine and shopping for wheels, was wondering if you remember max measurements (back/front) for them, would be a huge help if you can, but no stress if you cant recall.
Hey mate, yes I still have it, mine’s got adjustable arms all round + modified guards+ rear quarters so wheel specs won’t really help you sorry.
Is that just aftermarket air suspension controler like You would use in Celsior/LS400?
Yes same thing ..
Are stretched tyres even legal in Oz?
Them ssr wheels 😍
Been looking at getting one of these. Real similar look to a jzx171 but obviously that big V12. What's the big girl like on fuel?
That is a bloody good looking car, I like these videos, really informative, thank you 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
Great vid as usual. Looks like a sweet ride. Not fun to park I'm guessing
Too bad we can't post pictures on here,I snapped an epic photo of your car in Lake conjola a while back
Looks perfection mate... And another video with helpful tips!
What did you spray the rotors with? I figured one was paint but was the other brake cleaner, silicon lube?
