BMW Brake Caliper Rebuild & Painting | Project E30 5 Stud Brakes [E36 & E46/Z4] | 005
In this video, I take the set of new BMW calipers (E36 front and E46/Z4 rear) for my E30 project’s 5-lug swap brake upgrade and get them painted in gold and fully rebuilt with pads ready to go on the car.
If you missed part one where I strip, de-rust and get these calipers in primer, you can go back and watch that here: • Rusty Brake Caliper Re...
This has been a challenging job and taken a lot longer than I expected, however, I’m absolutely over the moon with the result and can’t wait to get that swap done and fit them on the car.
Follow along and discover the various techniques I use to complete this task including how to fit those BMW pad retaining clips or spring clips that are notoriously fiddly, how to avoid pad squeal and rattle with the correct grease, and how these calipers and carriers are reassembled.
