Hi from the US. Just found your channel a couple of weeks ago. I'm really enjoying this series. Clear, concise, no extraneous BS and a lot of common sense. Love it. Thanks.
Thank you Leo, and welcome aboard Sir..
Video editing is so clear and close up when needed. No silly music in background, actually quite therapeutic to watch and learn
Just battled with a zx7r rear caliper..... Thanks for the Handy tip of drilling the 3 mm hole on end of the pin blind hole, helped me get 2 seized pins out without splitting the caliper.... Great video, thanks mate 🍻
I have learnt a great deal from your videos. Your clear cut step by step guide is spot on. Dont stop what your doing because many of us need that consice instruction. Top notch M8. 👍👍
Thank you so much for your kind words of support and encouragement Paul. It's reassuring to know that our content is valued.. Take care and enjoy your week.. Del.
Enjoyed that Dell. Unless you've dunnit, people would never understand how rewarding it is to strip, clean, free off and rebuild something knowing that you've made it better!!!
Totally agree mate!
Alright Del, thanks again for showing all of the bits laid out like that because it breaks it down and if I wanted to do this myself, it takes away how daunting it is because thing like that can easily go wrong if you've never done it before even if you take loads of pictures along the way. Cool tip about the lilo pump and the caliper pin holes too, nice one. Good words with the taking the gentle approach thing.
Most welcome Johny, Im glad you can get inspired by the videos, that makes it all worth while..! have a great weekend and ride safe. Del.
Another brilliant, inspiring vid Del 👍🏻
Was successful in replacing my headstock bearings and wheel bearings on my SRAD (if you remember) Can’t wait for the next episode, cheers.
I remember rebuilding calipers on my 1976 Corvette many years ago. I had pitting on the walls and thus when the piston seated whey would leak by. it is pretty cool to rebuild one. makes ya feel good lol. also on that anneal I never thought about that on the bike. you are so right - it does soften. I use that process on my rifle cartridges when they get hard and it softens them up and makes them last longer. I learned something again. great job man. nice to see someone creative and with patience. I need more of the patience. ugggh.
Thanks buddy, you're so right, and we're honoured that you feel the videos are creative and you're right no point in not having patience with things, it doesn't get you anywhere and you often end damaging stuff as well. and can even hurt yourself aye!... have a great weekend buddy!
That was another high quality demonstration not only of good garage techniques but also of your trouble-shooting thought processes. Excellent video, Del 👍👍
Thank you buddy... good to hear from you as ever... See you soon.. D&Px
@@Moonfleet41
I can't make Sunday but will see you soon. K
You Sir are my hero. I never comment on videos but I have to tell you that I love the way you explain how and why you do things. Everything is easy to understand and gives me a lot more understanding when I'm working on my own bike. I will change the brake pads on my bike in the next weeks and I know the brake calipers are ok. This makes me a bit sad, cause I would LOVE to have to rebuild them. Kinda strange isn't it? Congrats to another great video!
Hi Paolo, Good to hear from you and thank you so much for your kind words my friend, im really glad the videos can help you keep your own bike in good shape.. take care and enjoy your ride.. al the best.. Del.
I’m binge watching your series and I can’t keep my eyes open any longer. Got to sleep. Got to work in a few hours
Thanks mate, that's very kind.. i really appreciate the support .
Success!! Absolutely brilliant video!!
Very therapeutic del, watching you rebuild that caliper. 😀👍 You and Penny are brilliant!
Thanks Charlie, you're too kind buddy.
Hi, nice a tide job. That swing arm bolt was what in spanish we call a " Parto distócico " .. lol, thanks. Gus
Hi Gus, glad you enjoyed, hope you're well! Enjoy the sunshine when it arrives lol, have a great Sunday, D&Px
What always amaze`s me is the number of individual bits that make up anything!!! Fascinating Del.
found the washboard funny m wife says the same on the last sentence and has used it.Love the re-builds etc great to watch.. My swing arm lower links/wishbone are being done at the garage replace bearings etc
Swingarm linkages done and now better handling not twitchy around corners....
A question though have you a video on adjustments to the clutch cable play as I find the bite on mine is to close to the bars
Caliper reseated and cleaned looks great and great job not giving up on that bolt!
Great job dell, good to watch first thing in the morning. 👍☺️
Thanks Simone, much apprecite your support, have a great weekend!
Great feeling when you get it repaired and you did it yourself.
A thousand thanks for this one. Very well presented. Now I know what I'm in for with my Suzuki GS1000 rear caliper. Just hoping that the bleeder screws hasn't seized up. They could break!
Nice to know I did the right thing with the red grease. :) Thank you for making this video and making me fee spot on how I rebuilt mine. I hope you and Penny have a brilliant weekend. Take care!
Those sachets were supplied with the seal kits and i guess it's obvious what they supply it for... good move you... hope life is good, and you have sunshine this weekend... take care and keep in touch.. D&Px
Good advice on 9:45 min mark!
Remember blowing the pistons out of my friends gpz callipers wouldn't even come out at about 110 psi without a bit of extra persuasion - you can imagine the force and speed they eventually came out at 😂
Del, your advice about the gentle path brought a lot of memories of swinging reaches in the air and cursing at bikes 😂😂😂. Will stay away from coffee and try the GENTLE PATH (I think you should coin that 😂)
Your videos are top-notch and fill the gap of having an in-person mentor in the garage! Quick basic question...what is the copper grease you're putting on the bolt threads? Never-cease or threadlocker?
Keep up the great content!
The copper compound is an anti seize, thank you for your kind feedback, am glad the videos help.
Re: The rear caliper torque arm... Agree, the slow safe way is always the best way, good on you brother. Aluminum is annealed like other non-ferrous metals, heat the metal close to melting point and quench in water so, no worries heating up aluminum and then letting it air cool. Really enjoying your content and the awesome stressing of using your noggin when wrenching. p.s. I also agree with you that replacing all the wheel and suspension bearings is 100% the way to go.
Brilliant video Del, wise tips, old school knowledge passed on, informative, and funny as hell :-)
No wonder you're growing so fast and so popular!
Cheers Martin, always good to hear from you mate.
I like how you work clean and professional
I’ve got one of those little windproof lighters too, work a treat they do and like you say to don’t get things too hot but hot enough to help a sticky situation, super cheap too so it’s a great shout!
Classy work on that rear caliper.
With a page full of comments on threaded/not threaded, never an easy thing to believe but you did the right thing and just go steady as breaking the lugs or swing arm is more painful than a stripped thread.
Excellent job Del. Explaining the effects of heat on metals is something I in all honesty would have thought about if I was doing this myself. As usual ace a great vid 👏👏👏
Thanks Graham, simple common sense, always important not to damage stuff that we're tyring to remove aye!
So many great tips! Feel like I can have a crack at swapping my rear caliper now (got a reburbished one, so just fitting it but small steps for me and you’re inspiring me to DIY it)
Thanks Craig, good luck with yours, and have fun with it sir...
Great episode! Two questions:
- When I serviced my calipers, the instructions said to only use brake fluid to lubricate the new seals and pistons. How come your restoration set came with this red grease? What is it?
- Are you planning to service the shock and forks? As you said, it is a fast bike, you probably don't want to take chances with your suspension.
Ha! I too used compressed air when I first tried to service a brake pot....I used 6 bar. Yes, it left a dent in the ceiling and required a bit of creativity to hide it from the boss (wife).
haha I think we've all been there buddy, glad you didn't cop it in the forehead!
in the USA that swing arm bolt is called a shoulder bolt. i love these bike build videos, they inspire me to want to buy an old dog of a bike off the internet and work on it
Go for it buddy, you won't regret it, it's a fantastic journey that gives you a great prize at the end, "or a bike you can enjoy"!
Great to watch del love your videos would love to try that some time myself cheers mate ROBERT from Scotland 😄😄
Thanks buddy, glad you enjoyed!
A ‘shoulder bolt’ Del 😂👍 another great video, ta.
I'm looking forward to the front tokico calipers rebuilt,I think they're the same as the k2 1200 bandit,I do reckon they stop pretty good too
such a pleasure to watch you work Del! your a spiritual guru of motorcycle mechanics! =)
Blimey Kevin, kind words, and much appreciated!
Loved the flying pistons!
Your organization and meticulous methods are to be envied.
Another excellent video. 😀👍
Thank you Harold, i learned a lot from a farm machinery mechanic years ago, he had to work on tractors and huge combine machines in the middle of fields.. thick mud and windy weather.. .and laying things out in sequence on a clean surface was essential not to lose things and make sure nothing got contaminated..! good practice any time id say wouldn't you..! Have a good weekend sir, and thanks for your support.. D&Px
Awesome video and I'm glad no one got hurt when that shot out of device. I have one of those little lighters I use it to like the wood in my fire pit and now I will buy another one and keep it with my tools for the motorcycle so if I have to do what you did without screwing anything up. And yes having patience is the best. Have an awesome weekend Penny and you Del Ride safely.
Hi Paul, Good to hear from you, and thank you as ever for your kind words and support, Patience is the hardest tool to buy aye.. specially when you're on a deadline and under pressure..lol!
@@Moonfleet41 For You Yes,For Me No lol
Nice reconditioning of the brake, tyres brakes & chain.ultra important 👍👍😎
Yes indeed mate, good old house keeping stuff aye.
@@Moonfleet41 👍👍😎
or use copper grease on the end of the pins always worked for me 😉👍
Not sure whether you've already mentioned this somewhere before Del, but worth reiterating that applying copper slip alters the torque setting required. Keep up the good work :)
That's what he called an exellent restoration my friend 🤓👍
Best wishes
Happy Sunday
And...see you 😀
Have a great week!!! ✌️😎
Superb !
Another fantastic video..thanks for sharing.. watching this series intently.
Glad to see you got it out, also glad to see my memory didnt fail me! Glad to be of help! :)
Thanks again Oliver.. sterling advisory mate.!
Mesmerizing, especially the flying brake pistons! Reminds me about my own projects (but far as big as this one). It is very fun to watch :-)!
"Stale pastry" 😂👍
Man, That puppy was jammed in there. Super corroded.
Love it. My FJ rear caliper has to be stripped so this is wonderful. Ta.
You can now get a little slide hammer (similar to the bearing removal one) that you can use to remove stuck calliper pistons. It's excellent, I used it removing pistons from a calliper that had sat on a bike outside unused for over 10 years.
Yep, I bought a caliper piston puller kit last year. I was rebuilding my front calipers - a total of 8 pistons in 2 different sizes. I had been struggling for over an hour with some piston pliers for the total result of a really sore wrist and hand and only one piston out. With the puller kit I had the other 7 out in about half an hour. Best £40 I have ever spent.
@@mightybeanstick9872 Agree 100%, and because they grip the inside of the piston there's no chance of damage. Wish they'd been about in the 90's when I first had 6 pots, hate to think how much time I've wasted on them over the years when compressed air wouldn't budge them.
Great job del and great tips thanks for all your hard work and vids mate
Great Vid as normal learning all the time
Oh dear, Eurovision on..! Shame I’ll miss it. Good shout on the hole for the pins. Stumbled across your channel few months back when looking for something on me XJR1200, great videos and proper advice. That pesky bolt..!!
Great professional work as always, and I'm learning a lot. 👍👍👍👍
I don't have enough confidence in my mechanical ability to tackle a job like this and will leave the anchors to my garage to service I'm afraid!
A really interesting video though as ever! Thanks!
Love your videos, I am learning more and more with them.
Cool vid fella. Some good advise for viewers on drilling the blind holes, old tricks aye! RSMB.
Sure thing bruv, investment for the future servicing aye, never have to split the caliper again! Have a great weekend and hope you got the alignment sorted?!
Moonfleet41
So I was changing/upgrading the alternator, rota and regulator with the bike off the floor being supported on the frame. Obviously both wheels were free to rotate freely with the front forks extended to the max. Finished the work (can recommend this upgrade by the way to a 32 amp system) and took said Harley for a run (just to make sure that their were no bangs and clangs coming from the primary casing lol). Wasn't until I had covered about 30 mile (thorough road test required 😎😀) that I realised that the wheel/top tree were aligned as would be expected. Very weird but very satisfying outcome, but thanks for your time on that brother.
@@softailfun Oh nice one.. Good news mate.. it can drive you made when they just won't align... Still give those steel bushes a go if you get time aye.. they will make a difference..! Keep safe fellah, and have a good week aye.. D&Px
another great video, can't wait for the rest-ACF50 is a better penetrating oil IMO-I have some dog bones of a gen 1 if you want-on my 2nd Busa lovum!!
Thank so much for the very kind offer Marcus, i have them now, and will be fitting them in next weekends video... don't all the best offers come along when you don;t need them..lol.. Cheers buddy, much appreciated.. Del.
No worries I get a lot from your videos, looking forward to seeing the front brake one those six pots are rubbish go for 4 pot conversion one finger braking
Brilliant video as usual Del. Very interesting
Thanks for the videos
When im taking old bike apart i always soke my parts in APPLE CDIER VINEGER ..Even soke seezed parts in and came apart no probs
Great video Del as usual entertaining and interesting. I love your parts washer cheap and effective!
Sure thing mate, does the job, and costs pennies!
love the piston firing out .. I once had one hit me in forehead .. I attached an old brake line to a foot pump and out it flew ,,,lol ouch ...
Doh.!
(P) Another piece of mind rebuild 😀 Always wanted to split mine on the T140V, never actually got round to it. Enjoy the weekend both of you.
Cheers buddy... See you Sunday yeah..?
1 St class Work'manship as always Del. With a twist of word 4 word discription. P. s. The Piston... What a Rocket !
Thanks buddy, good to hear from you as always.. Have a great weekend buddy.
A great & very useful video Del 👏👏👏👌🏻👍
Happy Fridel
A great video mate. Those pistons flying out like that -scary. Lol 👍
Naah, nothing ballistic, just had to walk over and pick them up..lol! Great to hear from you always buddy.
Moonfleet41 lol ya I’ve done it before just looks worst on video take care mate
Hey bud i got a surprise day off so got time to do comments on my favs 👍🏻
good to see ya brother top job ...flying pistons and all ..love it ..that'll spark the lower bell curve gene pool into action ...lol...any how i've been watching just not writing so take care , peace and love to you both 👍🏻☮❤
Cheers Springy, yeah for sure, it doesn't take much to ripple the peanut gallery does it, they always remind me of those two old blokes in the gallery on the Muppet Show, shouting rubbish at everything...! Coping mechanisms I guess, enjoy your weekend bruv, always good to hear from ya!
Great video. Had me laughing. Lol. Just the video I needed to see for my rear brakes. Thank you sir!
Hey Del, I wanted to ask you to look at my project. I'm so proud of it and you are the only one that is helping me to rebuild it. Because of your expertise advice, it's almost done. The video is in my vids. Thank you again sir!
Hypnotic. :-)
Lovely little projects! I like it especialy how you don't invest a lot of time in cleaning and painting. There is something about bikes that are allowed to be just machines ;-)
Enjoying it loads!
(btw, two of the regular "thumb-downers" have allready watched the video and it's only up for 50 minutes! They should be just called fans from now on :P )
Thank you Han.. im glad you're enjoying the videos..
Nice work, Del!
I'm glad you weren't my armourer, I'd have never got out lol.
Great video and very Haynes esq ( that ain't a bad thing ).
Looking forward to seeing your work.
alway's enjoy your video's .
Absolutely ...
Hi Del, Nice video, but one thing I want to mention. Your idea of puting grease on the treads to get them out easyer ist ok, but you will overtorque them. so please put less on it. just a verry little amount will do.
(P) Patience, patience, and after all that....Patience. Leads to success!
Great vid Del
Couldn't put it better myself Christopher, thanks for your support buddy... have a great weekend... D&Px
Great vid again. 🤘
Nice video Del with great tips. Don't you love that wire wheel lol. Penny and you have a relaxing weekend mate. Cheers
Thanks buddy, you too, althoug could do with some hot, sunny days, not seeming to get that this weekend though :-( hope you have a great time yourself, D&Px
That is a nice jet lighter
I used a wire wheel to clean my caliper bolts just like that and they ended up rusting just rusting just as quick. Did you apply anything to the bolts to stop them rusting as you have now exposed bear metal??
I will do!
do you not put a little bit of copper slip/grease on the back of the brake pads?
I cant remember who told me or when.. but over 20 years ago, little bit of copper slip helps stop squeal. lol
Only of they squeal buddy..
Moonfleet41
😂😂 waiting to see this come up in one form or another.
Whats a noble and WINNIG combination? Bloody spellchecker strikes again haha
It was an observation test... congratulations.. you passed..!
Hi Delboy's Garage can you please tell me what PSI i need to pull those sucker pistons out? Is 8Bar high enough? Thanks
Nicely done, Del. Glad you went the “easy does it” route! BTW, does drilling a small hole on the other side of the pin increase the chance of corrosion though? 🏍👍🏍
Hi Gary, good to hear from you, the pad pins will corrode in place no matter what, drilling a pilot hole out the back of the blind section will give you access to drive out the seized pin from the other side, which you can't normally do, meaning you have to split the caliper, or even risk breaking it off, in order to get it out...
Moonfleet41 gotcha! 😎
Hi Del, a really great and useful vid - thanks. Could I pick your brain and get some advice? I’m keen to start learning skills etc to clean up paintwork on metal and thought before I start on a bike I’d learn on something that’s not too expensive. So the BBQ will be my practise area. Can you suggest abrasives, wet n dry grades and any other bits n pieces that will be necessary for prep work? Many thanks and yours aye, Alan
Hi Alan, get yourself a multi pack of wet n dry from Halfords, get some heat proof black.. and get stuck in mate... Rub down with the courcest first, working to the finest.. and get practicing buddy... you'll soon develop the hand skills and realise how easy it is.. Good luck.. Del.
Thanks Del. Sounds simple enough. It will be my first venture into any kind of metalwork since the early/mid sixties, I’m ashamed to say! I’ll get on with it when I return from vacation. Best wishes, Alan
I hope you paint this swing arm!
No mate, will be scuffing off the paint that's there (a thin layer of rattle can by last owner) and scuffing out the anodising too!
Poor Hayabusa... I can't wait to see the end result :)
top video as ever!
Cuppa tea and more cracking vids
Terrific vid Del, copious amount of copper grease👍😁👌 Though none on the back of the new pads; is that for a final assembly or would you recommend not to?🤔
The purpose of that is to absorb the hi frequency vibration that manifests in Brake Squeal, ill wait to see if the brakes squeal before i take that step..! same as the front.
@@Moonfleet41 cheers Del, never knew that so thank you.
Same lighter as I use.... but for my Cubans 😎
Another top vid del 🖒🖒🖒
never change a winning caliper Suzuki !...not even after 20 years....tssss
Another good vid del,cant wait for the forks as im doing mine on my gsxf if i can get the bloody mud guard off,even thinking of a grinder or dremmil to grind off bolts
Did forks on my gsr600 last year. Mudguard was worst part of job! Ended up using 2 different front stands - one to do mudguard job, the other to do fork job. Then stripped mudguard bolts. I do empathise.
@@damoncampbell115 thanks fella
What grease did you use while rebuilding the caliper?
Thanks Del - I'm really enjoying these! BTW - did you have a South Australia number plate on your wall? I see Victoria & NSW... sing out if you'd like one I can send one over!
Hi Paul.. we don't keep count of the places we have plates from, they arent a random collection just to have lots of different ones.. .we see them as more important than that.. we use them almost as a world map of all the wonderful far flung places we are viewed from... each one represents a viewer and friend around the world who watches and enjoys what we do with the channel.... so if you have one, then we would love to mount it on the wall with the others.. we have lots of friends over there in Oz, and no matter which part it is, we value every one as a personal gift and token or friendship... if you can drop Penny a line on delboysgarage@yahoo.com, then she will give you the land address and other details you need so you can get it here safe.... Thanks so much in advance Paul.. its really kind of you mate... Take care.. Del.
