- Its time to restore and do some powder coating to the front brakes and service the calipers and suspension. In this video, I clean up and powder coat all the brake and hub components and replace the wheel bearing, disc, seals, brake piston, dust seals and brake pads. I hope you enjoy the video.

What an amazing transformation, and great to be able to see it being done from start to finish, nice work!
It makes my day when i see any one of your channels videos come on, keep them coming
I've always enjoyed the challenge of a difficult take apart, perhaps because the result is so rewarding. I enjoyed watching your techniques and professionalism. Excellent video editing.
Wow, I'm impressed. That was quite a chore to restore the lot.
what a lovely job its nice to see something rusted and knackered being brought back to life and put back into service rather than being scrapped.Watching you do this martin is poetry in motion, Many thanks for the upload .
Glad you enjoyed it
how on earth is there 6 dislikes of this ? couldnt believe this video was 30 mins long !! its so relaxing and informative that i thought it was a 10 min video
It may be that some people have taken umbrage at the use of red rubber grease (vegetable based, intended to lubricate rubber seals etc.) on the caliper pins when most opinions seen to favour a silicone based dielectric grease that won't wash away from the pins causing them to msybe seize. Or it could just be 6 tw@%$! 😁
Not masking the inside of the caliper before sand blasting. He'll never get the sand out...
Overheating the parts makes them brittle....
@@GardensoftheAncientsHerbal what utter rubbish !! Thay are BRAKES they ARE going to get HOT !! They are designed to get hot !!
@@familyplans3788 not the entire shield glowing red hot..... you ruined the brakes once they get that hot and need replacing..... if you heat metal like that it ruins it. One thing if it was thick metal and he only heated the bolt..... I refurbish antique cars and would be fired for that....
I don't know why I enjoy this sort of thing so much but I do . I appreciate anyone who has the skill and patience to work with their hands and you always do a good job on anything you work on . I've never seen you say that will be good enough , Whether you are fixing and old lawn mower a kids toy or this old car . Thanks
I found that extremely relaxing,therapeutic and informative that refurb was a work of art
Glad you enjoyed it!
Hi Martin.Yet another great video and I never get bored with any of your channels. Keep up the great work.
Excellent job! In our throw away world it’s good to see someone else that will take the time and do the labor rebuilding themselves.
👍🏼👍🏼 from this guy!
great detailed video Martin, very slick production too, congrats and thanks
Great video Martin. With all the right tools and parts the job was a breeze. Looking good can't wait to see the finished car.
Cheers, Jeff.
You and me both Jeff
Lots of critics! Coming from someone who doesn't have a shop of their own, I really admire the amount of equipment you have. Every tool for the job, speaks volumes of your experience! Thanks for the satisfying video.
Always a highlight to see a in depth restore from you, great, great job Martin! Thanx for showing how you removed the inner bearing with the air hammer (very easy) From all the video's you made make me a youtube car professional xD
Glad you enjoyed it
Martin
A very nice job that is old school servicing parts and repainting modern day most guys would just replace with new parts their is no better feeling than knowing u have done a good job well done again
Phil in stoke
Yes Phil, I enjoy it too.
Great restoration. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
What media, nozzle size, and pressure were you using?
That pretty neat that you was able to restore that suspension Martín.
Great work. I love the way you describe videos
Restauração perfeita!!🇧🇷👍👍👏
That was strangely relaxing to watch, while appreciating your work
Glad you enjoyed it!
Good video, Very nice work. Fantastic transformation.
What de greaser are you using in your parts washer? I'm currently trying to decide what to run in my new cabinet.
Great Brake job. Nice instructional video on the operation of disc brake calipers, short but sweet. Thanks and stay safe.
Thanks 👍
Really beautiful job of restoring that old caliper.
thanks for the upload martin
I remember when Acclaims were a common sight. It’s now been a very long time since I’ve seen one.
Great work, 👍
Many thanks!
Arr the satisfaction on hearing the "click" as that tight screw gave up and came loose
Thank you Martin I always love watching your videos I am from South Africa
I've always fancied a black and red Avon Acclaim Turbo, kinda a proto MG Montego, reminds me of my 85 Civic Sports S which was deep black with red highlighting and red panelled black seats and door cards. It was what the Acclaim could have been if they had factored in a 2 dr version or Triumph badged the Civic into a hatch. I swapped my Civic for a 3.0 Ghia MK3 Capri which had an insane blood red interior but the exterior was silver with a vinyl roof and a thirst that was unbelieveable, had enormous pulling power though and whipped up to the ton fairly rapidly, oh I did love that Capri.
I never had a Capri but if I did, it would be a 3 litre.
When you say pulling power? I used to have a 2.0 Capri Laser. Didn't pull anything driving about in that. Mind you it only cost 200 quid!
I had a 2.8i Capri in my youth (I was about 25 and this was in the early 90’s). Think I was the only one that liked it, got loads of stick. If only I had it now.....
As with the other side Martin, another fantastic job.
Well done!
Take care, Jeff
Many thanks!
Master of restoration
Great job again Martin!!
great work as always Martin,yet another excellent job.
Thank you! Cheers!
Hi Martin, no workshop is complete without a gas heat gun, I have one the same as you great to have can save a lot of grief, good video🙂👍
Yes Luke, an essential bit of kit taking apart rusty stuff.
To remove the stuck piston You can do the bread and grease methode
Nice job. Now only the other 3 to do!
A good job 👍 but did you do both sides?
You shouldn't have paint on mating surfaces, or under bolt heads
Looks great. Should hit the rotors with caliper primer/paint (parts not in contact with pads), so you don't have to come around and clean the rust off later.
It was a gripping experience watching you tear that down just hoping nothing snapped
what air compressor do you have?
That was most impressive Mr Hax well worth the 30 mins, can you help me with a 'slight problem?' I have a 1982 DeLorean and the Flux Capacitor is playing up a bit. Ok, buying a box of broken biscuits from woolworths for 3d is a bargain but not quite what I need.
Another great video Martin the difference the powder coating makes
Yes it does William
great video the caliper dust shields are a real BEEP to install. I found the rubber grease far too slippy and resorted to clean brake fluid . i trust you replaced the retaining clips the correct way around . I always seat the brake pad stainless steel guides using copperslip grease . but what do I know I am a 76 year old and still mechanicing . Quite a lot slower now .But still enjoying it .
It keeps us young bud. Keep going.
Thanks to yourself is use the same powercoating system. Works great looking at getting a sandblasting unit xxx
You were supposed to put the grease to the guiding pins. Used the break fluid to lubricate the piston. The grease would contaminate the break fluid.
No it wont.......Red rubber grease is compatible with DOT3/4 and 5.1 brake fluids. No mineral oils or greases may be used in places that come into contact with brake fluid.
@@jimosullivan1389 good to know. Thanks for the info.
Good job, I can't wait to see the Triumph Acclaim it goes on.
You and me both!
Where did you get that little anvil ??
What a wonderful job hands down your the best
Brilliant job there Martin
Its like a movie and i am watching it very nice.....
Magician at work, Great job Martin
Thanks 👍
Good work Done 👍

Good Restoration
Thanks 👍
@@RetroHax welcome 😊
What a satisfying and rewarding way to spend a few days, cracking job Martin, when I grow up I hope to become a proper man like you lol(I'm 39) lol
Glad you enjoyed it
Nooooooo, todo era tan perfecto y satisfactorio, por qué pintas sobre óxido!! Las cosas bien echas bien parecen, pero bueno son manías mías de perfeccionista, muy buen video, like!
No hay yema de óxido
Impressive and meticulous work. But I always knew to use brake fluid when pushing in the caliper piston, won't putting the slider pin grease on the piston and inner seal contaminate the brake fluid system when it is back in the car? I was wondering.
No bud, it won't
This is Master class.
You had your hands full with that one, Brother
Wow great job Martin what a transformation looks like new 👍👍👍👍
Thanks 👍
Wow nicely done, sir. My only question is, did you do this for originality sake or because you knew that you could? Looks great and looking forward to seeing more on this build.
Keeping it original
Van Gogh would be absolutely jealous! Excellent work sir.
Thank you very much!
Отлично! Теперь осталось сделать так ещё три раза :)
Outstanding Martin they have come up fantastic
Another lovely job!!
Question about powder coating, does heating the item before coating make any difference ?
Great video looks great what you have done..
Not as far as I know
Are you going to service the rear brakes Martin 🤔
All you need now are a set of Redline tires!
Well done looks amazing
14:50 Didn't mind the lack of sound Martin. What were you listening to, was it a certain track from 1966 by the Rolling Stones, by any chance?
It was pop master on Radio 2 lol
@@RetroHax Not Paint it Black then? lol
great stuff martin
Sweet!!
Very nice job!
Better than factory that Martin
Great job mate, did you make your baking oven?
Yes I did
Well done Martin
Like from Brazil.
Good work.
Thank you! Cheers!
1984 is considered a classic now. Damn I'm old.
Best practice is to put silicone based grease On calliper sliding pin.
Retro just to let you know there is a really nice cast iron powder that makes it look exactly like it is fresh cast iron. Looks really good.
Thanks for the tip!
From rusty to radiant Martin!
Nice video as usual. I have enjoyed if you estimate the total cost of this rebuild.
The cost is not important to me, its a hobby.
Nothing beats OE parts
Awesome,spectacula54👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽
Thank you so much 😀
Weldone Work Brother.....
DO NOT USE this loctite 2700 threadlocker. It has very high streght and if you wanna demount it will be a problem. You need the to heat up the threaded connection to 250 degrees C.
Use a medium strenght threadlocker. Usually it's blue.
23:00 hopefully that is not a petroleum based grease
Nice work, but ...er that's a lot of effort for a triumph acclaim ;) Something of a rareity these days. I used to get ferried to/from school in one of those occasionally and sometimes we'd actually make it on time!
Why didn't you wear gloves? Because A: You didn't think you'd need them B: Just get bloody stuck in! C: A+B
Just don't let Sarah Moore or the others from Money for Nothing get their hands on that Martin, they'd turn it into a table lamp or coffee table or something. It's that good sir :)
just came from ‘restoreit’ channel
Glad you came bud.
Jiat three more corners to do.
Nice job, man
Thanks!
Съёмник для подшипников стоит не дорого. И не надо будет с отбойным молотком извращаться... Ps тем более не понятно зачем рисковать деталями, если набор съёмников есть.
Great job on the brakes.
PS Keep up the cool vids.
Thanks 👍
As old pop Larkin would say,"Perfick"
spent years of my life doing this, you will regret not putting a coat of paint on the disk hubs, they're the first things on the car to start rusting .. just looks bad after all that hard work
Wow, you are grumpy lol
@@RetroHax not really, I've done the same thing. lol
There’s nowt you carn’t do Martin RESPECT
Excellent
Thanks
I quite like the lack of speaking 😄
Much better than some nutter rabbiting on a load of rubbish about something they have no idea about 😂
Gut gemacht
