Hi from Australia, I have been a heavy diesel mechanic for almost sixty years and the first thing that you learn is to clean everything BEFORE you pull it apart. It prevents any crap from getting inside while you work on it, and you hands and tools stay cleaner.
Spot on. I've been wrenching around for little more than 3 decades. Same, same. Even "restoration" projects, fancy name for saved from the scrap! The first thing they get is a decent bath. Including Q-tip cooling fins. LOL 😂 😂
I told many people if dirt, was any good for performance, efficiency, etc. All cars and bikes would reach us covered in OEM mud. ;-)
Here's one piece of advice, you should do the majority of your cleaning and blasting with the old seals and piston in place. This will help seal and protect the piston surfaces far more than anything you can apply.
Good point
that depends, they use a lot of salt on roads where I live, so the biggest problem with these calipers is the corrosion of the piston AND the seal seat in the caliper, so if it has corroded bad enough around the seal seat (and I mean the hydraulic seal, not the dust cover), then the caliper is scrap, since there is no way to clean that area, if you do a really thorough job, and perhaps use electrolytic rust removal (or chelating rust removal solutions), then grease to fill the rust pits when seating the seal and dust cover, then it might work for couple of years, but if water gets in, it will corrode and seize in a matter of months
not sure what they make calipers out of these days, but I don't recall them rusting this bad 10-15 years ago, just had to repair a caliper on my 7yo VW that seized on me suddenly, dust cover was intact, but when I pushed it off, revealed heavily corroded piston, chrome flaked off etc, and visually, there seemed to be very little chrome on the piston compared to cars made back in 1990ties
and they talk about sustainability and green etc, and produce these cars that are junk in less than 10 years...
@@dsfs17987 sustainability talks is a joke... the only thing that matters for the BIG fellows is profit... and that's why they make your car last maximum a decade... 🤮🤬
You are like the Polish version of ChrisFix! Good tutorial and I love the home-made sandblaster - definitely going to build one for myself. Dzięki!
Thanks, I really appreciate it ;)
"Like so" ;) would bet Ive heard that before...

Buen trabajo 👍
Łoo panie kurła, co za geniusz z tą komorą do piaskowania. Biegnę do szwedzkiego sklepu kupić sobie 😜
Outstanding work! Your explanation of all phases of the rebuild is very easy to understand! I was a pleasure to watch such great work! Thank you for posting.
This sandblasting box is amazing!!!
Great job. I like sandblasing box 😊
Great video. Also I can tell English probably isn't your first language but you spoke so clearly. Thank you for your hard work. Good job sir.
I leave the piston and seal in the caliper until I have sandblasted the caliper.Save taping and makes it easier to clean up.No chance of getting grit in bore.Very good video.
That is an awesome caliper work man!!! Thanks.
Nice video really easy to see what you were doing!
Very well done video with good clear description of the job. Thank you.
Beautiful.
Great and clean job.
Great video, nice pace, very informative AND entertaining!
Very clear and detailed video without unneeded talks.
superb! well done great job and looked very satisfying to do 👍👍
I was able to rebuild the 2 front calipers for my VW after watching this video, the part about putting the dust cover on the cylinder was particularly helpful, I'm sure it would have taken me 3 times as long if I had not watched.
Again Thank you very much for the helpful tips contained in this video
Thanks / Ed
You remind me of Peter Cetera
Love the sandblasting box
real nice complete job...Well done....
Thanks. Very helpful video.

Za piaskarkę masz plusa chłopie, pozd.
Love the tune !!
A Superb video Mate. Fantastic workmanship. An Inspiration for my 1970 Cortina mk2 Caliper rebuild which i plan to work on soon. 👌
Very nice job. very good video. Nice work with the sanding box.
Many thanks for doing this and really good film, and all credit to you.
Instead of compressed air at 3.26, I used a stirrup bicycle pump to get the piston out.
I used the Schrader end over the bleeder valve which fitted the bleeder valve end and which was partially open to allow air in
And covered the other end with my thumb
Pumped the stirup biciyle pump and the piston came out
Haha that's awesome.
What an amazing job well done 👍
Great instructions
I always replace the calipers... never knew it was this easy. And it looks brand new! Thanks for a nice and easy guide :)
it looks easy, we always repair them, because the repair kit is 1/10th of the price of a caliper, but when something goes wrong or it's not repairable( very rare cases, because of wear) we have to buy a new one. in some cases the pushing mechanism of the handbrake gets destroyed when the piston is siezed and you try to remove the piston, we can't get a replacement kit for the interior parts.
Yep. That's right. Where "rebuilt" calipers are available. They pass trough a similar process. Of cleaning, rebuild and re-sold. Quite honestly virtually "as new". In what the end client is concerned. Totally worth.
its bether replace all caliper then take a crap part and ruin all job :D
Bellissimo lavoro!
Great Job!
Good video. Thank you.
Great job! Tomorow I am installing brand new OEM bake calipers because my front right one has jammes 3 times now...2013 Golf tdi with 250 000 km..They were due!
Top job, thanks for the help.
AMAZING!!! Wow!!
Good job man, greetings from Italy
Very nice work!

Wreszcie jakiś Polak nagrywa w języku angielskim jakieś tutoriale
Excellent 🧨
Congratulations on a good video! The greatest point is the DIY sandblaster box! Please do a video on it!
On the less than good parts, please let me comment on your use of too much high-temperature grease on the piston seals. I believe that it is better to just use new clean Brake Fluid to assemble the piston seals, as any grease will contaminate the brake fluid. In respect of the many comments saying not to use grease on guide pins, my experience is that pins MUST ALWAYS be well lubricated with high-temperature grease because it is the design of a FLOATING CALIPER! If NOT well greased, one is certain to end up with very different wear on the internal vs external pads, a less than good pad retraction and more noise! That is the reason to use rubber sleeves with caps! Just do not over grease them to prevent ANY grease to migrate to the rotor or pads.
The sliding contact points on the pad backplate must be also lubricated with Hi-Temp grease, but not more than a match-head blob of grease will suffice.
Thanks :) As you said, everything goes straight to the point
Regards :)
Great work!
Super job
very nice job thankyou
thanks for a great show, also you speak well as we can hear English is not your mamas tongue nor mine either. bravo to you Sir
Thanks a lot! Big help!
Magnificent!
Good job
I'd do this for a living... Looks so fun
Well done job, explained every step according to instructions, also great little video.
Fantastic and amaizing Job
Nice job as new!
Fantastic!
Very helpful.
Thanks really appreciate it :)
Regards
Very good! You could prime the caliper before painting it and you could grease for the bleeder screw thread.
DIY on that sandblasting box. Very nice Job!
It was indeed a nice bonus to the video!
excellent Work very nice
good job and don't be late for in other videos
Good job bro
Superb, I never managed to sort the seal and now I see where I was going wrong. Very helpful thanks
Yep, the outer part of the seal is held in place by the piston so unless it's set correctly you'll never get it in!
MUY buen trabajo , Exelent.....
Outstanding ❤❤
Not every aspect of life needs a soundtrack...love the tutorial 👍🏻
wowowoowo is so very nice you are good .
I agree ? Soundtracks are generally annoying.
Very good video
Your sanding box is AWESOME idea!!! totally going to build one for myself
+1

Beautiful 👍👍
Thank you! And please do a video about making the sandblast box.
Take a big transparent plastic box and cut 2 holes for your hands, then use long rubber gloves.
Top job
It is an amazing job, but I have a different experience.
I also bought this repair kit for € 19 each.
At the cost of cruel work, I degreased, disassembled the caliper that required a special tool, filled the system with new brake oil, and finally bleed the brake system.
The success lasted for about 1 week because he started to release the brake oil again.
No, the cylinder was not scratched, I just think it was asymmetrically worn.
I then bought a new caliper for € 15.95.
A week later, the caliper on the other side broke, I also bought it.
If I had bought it in pairs, the price would be € 27.06 / pair.
The brake caliper replacement is a fraction of the refurbishment, it takes half an hour.
The renovation is an incredibly big suck, and after that you can clean up and pay for the consumables.
The price of a new caliper is dependent on the vehicle, the calipers for my car are £200 new and the rebuild kit was £15.95. If you could get a caliper for less then a rebuild kit why did you even bother rebuilding it?
No way a new caliper was 15.95
Nice sandblasting machine🙂
