    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 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.

    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.

    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!

    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.

      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.

    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.

    What type of lubricant/paste are you using on the bolts holding the casting?

    • @Moonfleet41
      @Moonfleet41  5 років тому +1

      Not a lubricant buddy, it's the same stuff the previous mechanic had put on them, just a copper anti-seize to stop them from corroding in place in the future... just reduce the torque setting a little when you lock them down as although it's not a lubricant, it is wet and therefore does reduce drag on the thread...

    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.

    What is that red grease you used to lubricate the seals and pistons? Is it assembly lube? or something else?

    • @Moonfleet41
      @Moonfleet41  4 роки тому +1

      Yes it's red rubber grease and is usually sent out with the seals.

    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

    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? 🏍👍🏍

    • @Moonfleet41
      @Moonfleet41  5 років тому +1

      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...

    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.

    Gotta ask, why the copperslip on everything except for the pad pins?

    • @Moonfleet41
      @Moonfleet41  5 років тому

      Give it a try, but not for too long, cos you'll find that they stodge up with brake dust and road crap and they'll actually impede the retraction of the pads, the pads need to slide along those pins so keeping them dry and clean is more fruitful than coating them in copperslip... once again, give it a try if you don't agree, it's just my take on it mate...

    • @Liam_Bollocks
      @Liam_Bollocks 5 років тому

      Moonfleet41 fair enough, just going by the Honda systems guidelines they always say to use copperslip (more specifically their own silver version) on the pins
