Brilliant work mate.. The factory paint... or really the clear coat was awful. After 18+ years of my ownership.. it was simple servicing that killed the coating on my calipers...They were still red... not what is known as brownbros....lol I eventually got a professional guy to do mine (Cos I'm Lazy and had open Heart Surgery) after ( prior 4 years..) another set for my Legnum, I removed had soda blasted and then... resprayed myself... They came up perfect... pro job on the TME even more so.... Your's OMFG... wait Steven... they are just Brakes... they don't need to be perfe.............. Pure froth .... epic... Awesome vid mate... subbed...
Cheers Steve. Thanks mate. I’ve done a few caliper resprays before but this was the first one using 2k paint of the correct colour. It makes a huge difference having nice brakes. Everything is important.
@@UzumakiGarage mate Glad you've done the vid... The attention to detail shows. They really make the car look so much better... we're lucky nowadays as coatings have such better performance than 20 odd years ago...
Sorry I didn't document it well either as I was figuring out the procedure as I was doing the job, so my video footage was messy. So, especially on the 4 piston calipers its really important to remove all the pistons evenly and gradually in a controlled manner. I used some blocks of wood and plywood shims of similar size to the brake pads only thicker so when I add compressed air to the brake fluid port the pistons are restricted in the distance they can come out. About 1/4' (5mm) at a time is good, then remove a shim and apply air again, and again. You need to get all pistons to come out evenly because if 1 or more pistons pop out before all of them are almost out you will lose all air pressure and have to slide the pistons back in temporarily to try again. Several old brake pads might make good shims. Don't add high pressure air and don't put your fingers in there as you could get seriously hurt with a broken or trapped finger, wear a face shield too! I think about 30psi is recommended but seriously be careful. I had to crank the psi a bit higher. Re-installing pistons is possible if they prematurely pop out but they need to be perfectly straight and lubed up, if they don't slide back in without force wiggle it out and get the angle straight and try again. The seals come out pretty easy but try not to use a metal pick as if you scratch the piston or caliper its probably game over.
@@UzumakiGarage I appreciate the reply. Still good information for me to have as I was initially thinking they could just be pulled out. I may take on this job soon with a spare set of evo 8 Bembos and was wanting to do some homework ahead of time.
@@BoostedFilms It's really not a difficult job for someone with your skills. I probably go into too much detail when trying to explain things. The other idea I thought of this morning is to use a brake pad spreader sitting inside the caliper to restrict the movement of the pistons when compressed air is applied. Then gradually back off the spreader to allow the pistons to come out (if that makes sense) I really wish I had filmed it properly but I think that was my first video.
Thanks Kezza. No the pistons were still in perfect condition. I guess they're protected by the dust seals and submerged in brake fluid. Perhaps if the brake fluid hasn't been changed enough and has absorbed too much moisture from the atmosphere maybe they can corrode and get pitted. not sure. maybe they 're coating prevents that but I have noticed really old cars sometimes have seized pistons in the calipers.
Great job. I've folks use brake fluid in rhe piston assembly as well, is that okay? The OE seal kit for the front Brembo's is over $100 in the US, but found aftermarket ones much cheaper, just not sure they'll come with the assembly lube.

Beautiful. I hope we get lot lot more videos of the TME and Evo 5 too!
Thanks Sanjay. Yes I’ve shot another episode that I’ve started editing. Hopefully upload one each month.
Amazing Andy! Good to see you in action 👌🏽
Thanks Adam. Cheers mate
Insane production quality for first video! Was a good watch 👍
Thanks very much. I spent a lot of time trying to learn the editing software. I hope to get a lot better at this.
Nice work Andy. TME is looking awesome 👌🏼
Well done on a magnificent job on the calipers and the editing.
Looking forward to the next video
Thanks Bro cheers
Love this mate!!
Awesome video
Nice one Andy!
Thanks Christian
Wow great video! It looks amazing
Thank you so much!
Nice looking. Will do this for my Evo.
Yeah man. It makes a huge difference to your car. Let me know how it goes.

So epic, good quality video for TH-cam. Well done. Love the car
As always thanks for your encouragement and advice
Nice vid man, haha I was lazy and sent mine to get done.
Haha. you think you're lazy. It took me 3 years to reply to you. Sorry :)
Nice video! How hard is it to remove the pistons and old seals? I don't see many people document that part.

@@UzumakiGaragestill a good video. I was happy to see you mentioned the part of removing the paint from the mounting surfaces.
Vete good Job!! Where did you get the replacement for pins and rest of hardware?
Thanks !!!
I bought all these parts online from amayama.com I've bought lots of parts from them
Love your work!
Did you replace the pistons along with seals? Thinking of doing this myself
Thanks Kezza. No the pistons were still in perfect condition. I guess they're protected by the dust seals and submerged in brake fluid.

Where can I find the paint code for the brembos?
Great job. I've folks use brake fluid in rhe piston assembly as well, is that okay? The OE seal kit for the front Brembo's is over $100 in the US, but found aftermarket ones much cheaper, just not sure they'll come with the assembly lube.
I would think brake fluid would be fine to use but assembly fluid is nice and slippery so i think it just makes the job a bit easier.
What rotors did you use?
I used DBA 4000 rotors to retain the OEM look but to get better cooling.
@@UzumakiGarage Thank you!
