Best video I’ve seen on vw similar calipers! Is anyone familiar with 2007 Vw gti caliper and is the shaft locked together like his in the video? The part where he says it can’t come apart. Thanks in advance as I’m trying to powdercoat my calipers.
Some slider pins are different on leading and trailing side of carrier , so watch for that and make sure to put them back the same way or you can get noises, also sometimes the carriers themselves are very slightly asymmetric, so are different left to right , but it can be hard to spot with the naked eye, so best to keep track of which is which when you take parts off car .
Very nicely done and presented. I am fanatical about applying graphite filled anti-seize to the bleeding nipples because I have seen too many corroded in place...I also prefer to apply graphite filled grease on the sliding mount pins (I like this even better than simple grease which can be displaced or cooked away). Thanks and Greets from Connecticut!
Great video but was never expecting the brush paint. I was thinking powder coat or even a spray gun maybe even a rattle can but never a small paint brush.. But came out great 👌
Great video! I have tried the circlip pliers you recommended but they will not fit into the small gap as they are too wide. Please can you let me know which ones you used in the video.
Sorry to hear the the plier did not fit. I'm not sure where I bougth mine, but I think it was from www.biltema.com. I cant find them there any more so not sure I got them form them. Anyway, to make mine fit, I had to grind and ben mine as well.
Question for anybody that has worked on GM cars: is there any way to remove the mechanism inside the caliper piston, it does not have a seeger ring or any sort of removable retaining ring, the mechanism is just held in place by a spring that sits in a groove. I honestly have no clue how they even assembled it, i'm stumped ...
What can be the reason why brake is not completely released when you release hanbrake? A general cleaning could fix? Or maybe that part that you can't disassembly has to be replaced?
I just completed the same job on the same type of caliper. How far out does the piston move when u operate it manually as u did? Mine would only move out marginally. Thank you!
Has anyone ever had a problem with the c clip that holds the assembly in the caliper popping off? I assemble the calipers and test the lever and the c clip pops out internally. I’ve been struggling for 5 hours and I can’t figure it out. The assembly is in with the alignment dowel, everything is assembled correctly. Am I losing it?
@@Italjohn Excellent and very informative video extremely helpful any tips for the same issue last internal sageer ring is very difficult to replace? Thanks in advance Mark 🤟
Takk for tips på deler. Fant repkit til min subaru på biggred ebay uk. Veldig bra how to video. Selv en gammel bilmekaniker fant nytte i dette. Vi overhalte aldri bremse-caliptere med parkbrems-funksjon på det verkstedet jeg jobbet så dette var faktisk veldig interessant. Tror jeg går for pulverlakkering på mine caliptere. Har du tips på hvor man kjøper pulver i norge? Fikk tak i noe billig pulver på ebay men det var av dårlig kvalitet. Kunne virke som om det var overskudd fra lakkjobb feid opp fra et gulv og pakket for salg igjen. Hehe. Never again...
@@Italjohn Haha sorry John I just can't help myself!! hope you're not too offended and wavy washer is correct 😉 very informative video so thanks and I'm jealous of your workshop 👍
Mitt bromsok läcker på baksidan. I din video ser jag endast gummi och ingen aluminium ring som jag har. Minns inte hur den satt i packningen. I din video syns inte denna ring. Använde du någon ? Syns inte vid 22:55.

Verry good vid. I laught when you sad that ......mmmm maby its time to put on gloves. I Did like the vid.now i know how to put on the bracket en handbrake lever.....i forgot to order the spring damnit. Thanks !

Thanks for the comment 😀
Thanks for sharing today I learned something else.
Greetings from a corner of Mexico.
The most thorough rebuild video I have seen. Thank you sir!
And thank you for the comment sir 😀
Like a proffesionalist! Great video, thank you...
this was the best video on a reseal, Ive ever seen PERFECT 100% brilliant.
Thank you, glad you liked it 🙂
I really like that magnetic piston tool. Very slick

Thanks for the tip. It's too late for this build, but next time 😀
That's a great video and the procedure is very well explained. I am now hoping to find a similar video for a Golf Mk7 with epb.

Brilliant video. Thank you
Good video. One things you missed is to grease the new bleed nipple threads !!...makes them easier to remove/bleed in 3 or 4 years time.
Thats a good tip, Jim. What greas do yu recommend?
@@Italjohn Just a little red rubber grease. Completely compatible with DOT4 or the grease supplied as it is on the piston anyway.
Kolay gelsin ustam çok güzel çalışma olmuş çok teşekkür ederiz iyiki varsınız 🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷🤷👍🍀👏
Excellent video and great result with the callipers.
Thank you sir 🙂

Trw emergency brake not taking out piston but turning in and out is easy with piston tool any suggestions?
Wow well done

Usually the problem is a sticking piston. I will recommend you to take the caliper apart and check the pistion.
Very detailed thank you
Thank you for the nice feedback 😃
Perfect!
I just completed the same job on the same type of caliper. How far out does the piston move when u operate it manually as u did? Mine would only move out marginally.
Thank you!
You should be able to move the piston all the way out.
@@Italjohn Thanks, great video, very informative!
@@Italjohn what would cause it not to come fully out when pumped? Mine did same?
@@peterhilbert6428 Did you sort this as mine doing the same?
@@rickynaylor1059 I don't know, sorry.
Great video thanks!

The C clip is a very tight fit, so you have to be sure it's inserted in it's grove.

Vi på Glamox kjøper pulver hos Jotun. Du kan jo høre om de kan selge deg noe?
The new piston is a wise choice . I reused mine which looke kinda ok ( I also cleaned it ) and it’s dripping :(
Hei kan man bruke bremseverktøy som du bruker fra biltema til å presse bremsestempel inn på bremser framme?
Har ikke prøvd, men det burde gå.
Great ! Thanx a lot !
You'r welcome sir
Dimple and circlip 👍
Thanks for teaching me better english 👍😀

Hvor kjpte du delene fra Bigg Red i Norge?
Kjøpte de på ebay, eller direkte fra UK
@@Italjohn Er ikke det ganske dyr porto? Jeg så et sett i ebay men de skule ha £95 i porto.

@@indian2003 Nei, her er min: th-cam.com/video/rmaKnXCGFSs/w-d-xo.html
Aren’t you supposed to grease the piston?
Yes, grease all moving parts 😀
I’m not sure weather I missed it or not but I didn’t see you do it, thank you!
@@jimellison9580 You are right, but I had so much grease on the seal and gloves, so I managed ok. I did it real good in my other caliper clip 😀
