Nice post on vintage brakes great information 👍🏽🏁🏁🏁🏁
Thanks for watching.
Love it
Thanks.
A while back, Classic Octane showed a method of bleeding brakes that seemed really straightforward. He does mostly restomods of CB750 down to CB350F (and some others), so well acquainted with Hondas of this period. He uses a big syringe from a farm supply store, the biggest he can get (100cc if I remember), fills it with brake fluid. He uses a piece of brake hose between the syringe and the bleed valve, uses a clamp or big rubber band to hold the brake lever down all the way, then pushes the brake fluid up from the bottom through the caliper and up into the master with the syringe. This way all the air gets forced up through the lines up into the master cylinder and reservoir. When done he just tightens the bleed valve, tests the brake lever and should be done, even if not he can still refill the syringe if needed and repeat until the air is purged. It looked pretty easy and makes sense, after all the air should want to go up, not down. Just take your time pushing the fluid with the syringe, no rush.
That's a great idea. I have a vacuum bleeder that works great also. Thanks for sharing the tip. Classic Octane is one of my favorites. Thanks for watching
I love that you're cleaning and sanding that pad and using it again. If it works it works. I tend to throw away too much stuff that I could probably re-use. Ive found that some of the brake pads for these vintage bikes have to be sanded down on the sides (where the paint or powder coating is.) Otherwise they don't slide in and out correctly.
The pads definitely had plenty of life left in them. 😂 You’re right about the sides of the pads needing to be sanded.
interesting because I just received all my new parts to rebuild my frontend brakes lol! perfect timing on this video, but audio sounded muffle in some parts.
Sorry about the audio. Been battling with audio. Just got a new microphone. Thanks for watching.
Yea I used my air compressor to get my piston out on my 73 350, that was a bad idea lol didn’t think about a grease gun until now
Did you shoot it across the shop. 😂
I have some spark plugs that have been converted to grease fitting to use the grease gun to free up pistons.
@@motorcyclerewind hit the bench wall and landed somewhere across the shop… I don’t think I ever found it lol it’s under a quad or a mower lol I had ordered a new piston anyway but scared the crap out of me
That pad😂😂👍👍
Thanks for watching.
Anything bike related I love watching🙏 keep up the good work😁🇬🇧
2:18 He Said "Whoomp There it is" 😂
🤣🤣🤣Thanks so much for watching. I really appreciate it.
I’ve also took the pad to the wire wheel to knock off a thin layer of baked pad crap.
That’s a good idea. Might as well give it the best opportunity to work. Thanks for watching.
Ive got a couple brakes to bleed next week. I just bought one of those 17 dollar amazon brake bleeder kits. I'll let you know how it works.
Dave, I have a vacuum bleeder that connects to the compressor. Not sure why I did not grab it for this video. Plus it pretty easy to bleed these guys. I used it for the 6 bleeders in the front of the GPZ😂
On these bikes the bracket that the calliper mounts on is on a pivot and that seizes too - so same time you do this you should remove the calliper bracket (two 6mm bolts shared with mudguard mounts and on 8 mm bolt below) then the bolt with the spring on it at front of fork leg.. do a similar clean up to this job
Note you should use copperslip brake grease on the side of the pads because it doesn't melt like regular lithium grease
Great tip on the copper slip brake grease. Thanks for watching
Thanks for the info. I have the same bike but the front break lever does not return. any ideas? thank you
Master cylinder stuck?
Good job, but change the o-rings piston 🤷🏼♂️
Do you mean the seals? These did not have any cracks and were in good condition. Thanks for watching.
@@motorcyclerewind Rubber becomes old and very less elastic and fragile with age 🤷🏼♂️.
I do the same, do the same for cars also.. Thanks
Thanks for watching.
