Your tip for getting the slide pins out after the thread had been undone just saved me going nuts. 😅

Typically I wire wheel the pins and lube the pins with silicone grease. I do not take those boots off - ever. Also I sandblast or use file on the carrier where pads make contact.

Why do you need to replace caliper carrier bolts? Can’t you just loctite the existing ones?

@Gunman1628 4 жыл бұрын

i just use an old brake pad and c clamp to press the piston back in. also, i use silcone grease for the rubber stuff to prevent swelling .

Videos I would be interested in: Rear coolant flange Removing and replacing cats. Particularly how to get to f*king bottom nut without burning that car down. Cvt transmission fluids ( yes there is 2 different types in one stupid transmission) Trouble shooting vacuum leaks, boost problems etc. Intake flaps removals or upgrades. High pressure pump trouble shooting and replacement. Rear in side gas tank filter replacement and fuel sending unit troubleshooting. Wheel bearing replacements and speed sensors (abs) system replacement. Install aftermarket radio rear back up camera and additional features. Hope this would help for good content because replacing breaks its 30 min job...

All in all a good d.i.y. video. However - when forcing back the piston into caliper bore, use a proper tool for that. Also its a must to block off the brake hose with a brake hose clamp tool, and then open the bleed screw to let out old brake fluid as the piston goes in. That way any contamination and dirty old fluid wont go back wards into the system, through the ABS unit and what not. This is especially true if your car is being used hard like on track days, mountain driving...etc. Old brake fluid in the caliper must be drained.

Thanks for the great recommendation, and I wish I had the confidence that my repair shop would do this properly as you've described.

@SmokeyMcPot42087 3 жыл бұрын

What is the tool to push the piston back into the bore? Also is the other step needed if you are flushing the brake fluid anyway? It worries me about clamping on old rubber brake hoses..

Wouldnt you need a silicone (or rubber-friendly) grease for those guide pins?

Thanks for the video. I have a 2008 Audi A4 and all the new rotors I've found do not have the rotor set screw. Where did you get yours?

@froggy0162 4 жыл бұрын

Make sure you use the right sort of grease - needs to silicone based and specific for use on caliper sliders. Using oil based normal grease is bad for the rubber components.

what can i do if i cant get the back caliper bolt off???? any suggestions

@Balomis 4 жыл бұрын

I've got a B6 that I did a Touareg BBK on with the 17z calipers. I'm running PosiQuiet semi-metallic pads on Centric rotors and while I like the braking performance and the dust level, they screech pretty constantly. I rebuilt the calipers with all new seals after powder coating them. And I used high-temp caliper grease on all the sliding surfaces between pad and caliper. The screeching seems to stop when I get enough heat into the rotor, but they cool down so fast they essentially screech all the time. Any tips or things to look for?

If anybody could tell me if these would fit on a mk7 golf I would really appreciate it I’m looking to pull these off a set at the junkyard and I don’t wanna waste the time and money if they won’t fit so if anyone could help me out I would appreciate it!! I have a 2017 golf no gti no r just a regular golf! If anyone knows if these calipers fit I would really appreciate it!

Do not lubricant pins. Grease gets dirty and stops from sliding.

@ebag77 4 жыл бұрын

I spent a long time researching whether or not to lubricate the pins on my B7. Couldn't find clear direction on it but I don't believe they come lubricated from the factory. Eventually decided to use grease that wouldn't degrade the rubber bushings and hope for the best. So far so good.

@@ebag77 if we check blue manuals from replacement set of ATE guide pins or guide sleeves, there's no recommendation to lubricate it. Because ATE type caliper has open type of guide pins. www.drive2.ru/b/508692079321285658/

@VioletGiraffe 3 жыл бұрын

With ATE floating brake calipers, the pins must NOT be lubricated and the manual says so. But maybe with other types of calipers lubrication is desired. And yes, don't confuse lubricating the rubber sleeves on the outside (so that you have an easier time pushing them in) with lubricating the pins inside the sleeves.

You should do some digging into why disks were slotted and cross drilled originally and see if it actually still applies with the brake pad material in use today.
