This may be my opinion but I'd say those screws are for assembly line purposes. The screws hold the rotors on while they roll down the assembly line before the wheels are fitted idk maybe.
quick add on to your tip about the brake caliper slider pins being cleaned and greased, make sure you use a silicone grease rather than ordinary grease. ordinary grease makes the rubber components on the sliders/in the slider housings swell up and they still stick. silicone grease avoids that effect. im sure you already know this, but viewers may not.
If anyones the guy to find parts its that Benny dude from BCW, heard he's pretty good with that kind of thing.
Hi al/woody. About to watch your new vid now😉
Heard al an woody from skid factory are pretty good too.. hit em up for subaru adaptions and mr2 parts.. get the dog....btw dont hit the beach in nsw.. covid plus sharks is good for culling foreigners buts ausies chooks no better so hit the beach you hooded pricks..
Overnight parts from Japan, surely?!
But can he find a Skyhook to hang my bicycle on?

new merch idea
You need a side kick/lackey. Everyone has one, Cletus and James, nugget garage, mighty car mods, even woody and the bald guy
How about a jdm robot dog mechanic?
Woody and the bald guy.....lol...
Alan, his name is Alan and Woody is the sidekick.
@@zappy7393 I know lol
You're either a brave man or a sodding fool. I'm just here for the popcorn and show
@@nud3231 Woosh! Straight over the head XD
The screws in the rotors are used on the assembly line so the don't fall on any workers before wheels are attached. Other than that there is no need for them
yeah , took me years to discover this
Maybe until calipers are mounted? They can't fall off with calipers on.
Didnt know that, learnt something new today.
oooooohhh that makes total sense now.
Trying to remove them can be annoying when they're completely seized on lol
The new wheels give me a full chub
Cleaning/greasing the slide pins is a good tip. People always miss doing them and wonder why brakes are uneven
Benny, you'll need an oversized gold chain necklace with diamond encrusted BCW logo to match with that wheel bling now. :D
Or a gold tooth, your choice.
I really love that Century, it looks really good, the white with the chrome/gold wheels fit the car really good, and looks even better slammed with the air suspension, like a real VIP car haha, i hope you put a custom exhaust on it at some point! 👀
Devine aka Mike has a slammed ls 400
Use an impact screwdriver to take the screws out of the discs (as in one you hit with a hammer), or a quick jab with the ugga-dugga will probably work. Also, tightening the bolt slightly will sometimes crack the rust.
V dubs have those brake disc location screws aswell, made of aluminimum and screws into a steel hub, greatest idea on the planet. Just drilled them out after they ripped off on three corners and welded the hole shut. Engineers sometimes... Should be part of their education that they have to work on the stuff they design.
0:30 Damn that thing is looking sharp
@14:49 That reveal... wow
Hot damn, the literal choice of transport for Japanese CEOs. The award of long hours of overtime and climbing the corporate ladder. Or having money.
Ive seen so many in black - beautiful in white. Id love to replace my aging Caprice with one for my chauffeur business
seen this at gtr festival looks awesome
was pretty cool to run into you out at tahmoor, was wondering when there was going to be a video out on this. Thanks for the chat benny!
Such a phat ride and those WHEELS! On point mate, look just perfect. Thanks for a great year Benny. Not just awesome vid content but also all th amazing things you have done for humanity this year. Bring on 2021.
Love this car benny, the JDM Bentley mate😄
Quiktrip to get brake rotor screws out of Hondo's and Toyotas is an impact driver you hit it with a hammer and it turns a screw out
How am I just discovering this channel!!!! Benny! Super thrilled
Benny wrenching on Toyotas to dark synth wave is something I can watch to the end. Props to Benny and editor from Hokkaido Japan.
Such a clean unique car love it! Pretty "grangster" looking lol
right? ganster af, I saw yakuza cars in Tokyo that had this look going on.
what a sick car...super clean example. those wheels are absolute mint
Nice change to seeing a barge that’s different to all the Caprices and Fairlanes on the road.
Figs Engineering does a kit to adapt those calipers to your IS200... if they can pull up a Century they should be awesome on the Lexus!
I was going to fit some but they’re very tall Nd clash on most of the wheels I have
Gangster as Fark!!!!!!! love it looks mint
nice job with the lil wheel tease around 15:30 hahahahahaha. Just enough to be like Ooooh Ooohhh what is it????
They look flippin SICK !!!! Absolutely beautiful wheels. They fit the car style so well.
Never thought a sentry will make me smile... Tons of room... Nice
Car looks amazing. Looks like a cool, comfortable cruiser.
One of the most satisfying brake job videos I’ve seen
The filter is the same one they use on the Toyota Coasters
century is soo fricking nice
Looks dreamy in white.
I seen this down the local supercheap and it looks even better in person, I had the blue aristo
I was surprised to see an Aristo :)
@@BennysCustomWorks i was just as surprised to see a century in person, i could see you looking for a lexus badge lol
@@scotttamblyn988 the badges on the rear doors were the give away
god it looks soooo goooodd ❤️❤️❤️❤️
hey benny, I’ve been following your compliance journey in the century FB group and am super happy to finally see it in a video. I hope we get to see lots of videos on it as I think they’re sick cars and I’m keen to see more here in aus
This is super cool to see, I plan to import a Century by July this year. Good to know you have found a bunch of service parts and common parts for the car.
man Toyota made some good fridges.
Looking great Benny, a well fed and patiently rumbling monster. 👍
18:27 'Just waiting for a mate!'
I thought he got pulled over when I saw the HWP and Benny with his hazards on
And now I want a big saloon, Lexus LS or something, man the Century looks so right with those wheels !
Can you provide a complete review of the centry Benny, looks mint 👌🏻
Great info on the slide pins and bedding in process, it'll benefit the uninitiated. 👍
Love those wheels so much!
I was puzzled when you initially said you were lucky you can reuse the brake sensor, until you explained why.
They are completely different to the ones I've seen and reused. The ones I've met are a single conductor in plastic blob. They work by earthing the wire through the disk then it wears down, and that makes the light come on, so with that type you can reuse as long as there's still some metal contact left in the end (maybe put a little bit of paint over the shiny bit to protect it, but the disk will rub through any oxide when it hits next time anyway!).
Oh and one last thing... Seized bolts, get some left hand drill bits, they often pull them out. Worst case they just drill the head off anyway.
That’s what I drilled the heads off with ;)
@@BennysCustomWorks Ah, I couldn't tell the rotation in the video! They've saved me a few times!
As you were Sir ;-)
Happy Christmas!
@@juststeve5542 merry christmas mate.
Bodykit is sick
In the first episode I didn't think much of the Century, but the bad boy is growing on me, particularly with the new wheels.
Thanks for all insider tips! 🇦🇺
Those wheels 👌👌
Nice choice in the wheel department mate! Thanks for the handy little tips, much appreciated! I hope you and the family enjoy your Christmas!
PS.. I am warming to these thing's!!!
Those brake slide pins should be lubed with silicone grease. Petroleum based grease will cause the protective boots to swell, allowing water to enter and cause the pins to rust and seize. I know this because I was once a Honda tech, and the old geezers that always told me I had a lot to learn were using bearing grease on those, and when I showed the service manager what was happening, they wound up having to pay for hundreds of repairs of seized slide pins due to years of those old bastards doing it wrong.
tease tease tease and then BOOM! full wheel frontal. sic.
Wheels are legit mint!!! I needed a tissue after that
when you putting the ITBs, 12-1 headers and high comp pistons into it?
Fully built engine from Hartley Motorsport?
@@upgradeNEVER Why would Benny buy in when he can do it himself?
Naah, this car's a cruiser, not a race car
Super clean lookin century
Good to see you using rubber grease on the caliper slider pins! if anything else is used the rubber anti rattle ring on the pins will swell and cause the sliders to bind up... pain in the arse. you would be surprised how many people don't know this.... also for the wear sensors I normally just short them at the socket... if your doing regular services no need for them anyway.
It's like a big version of an MX83 Cressida , cool looking ride .
Those wheels are sick !!!!!!!
That's one seriously cool machine!
The Century that is!
Worth noting if the slide pins have the rubber seal around them, not to use copper grease. Use silicone grease. Copper grease will eat the rubber seal.
That thing looks Phat !!! Love it !
Good job on getting 100K subs, Benny!
Painting the rotor hubs! I do the same. I can’t stand it when they go rusty.
meticulous work, very enjoyable to watch, have a good Christmas Benny!
What a beast of a car!
Awesome ep Benny! Love your content
That is sooo nice, you must be proud as
Presidential style benny.
Looks amazing man. 👍
Man, this car looks so good for a luxury barge.
I'd have one!
Looks so cool 😎
Awesome vid mate always learning something new
GORGEOUS!!!
I wonder if those disc screws are JIS head instead of Phillips and that's why they're stripping? I usually have good luck with an impact driver, one of the hammer powered ones, not an electric thing.
Sticking slide pins can also cause creaking or popping when applying the brakes.
I've had luck getting those screws out with a hammer driver ns if that's the name of it but u can put any bit in them then u hammer the other end and it spins them out
Impact driver. That's what I use in there Canadian rust. Does the trick most times
Yup that's the one in the rust belt a bit south of u but same
That is a bloody good looking car, I like these videos, really informative, thank you 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
want one. damm they look cool.
Benny use an impact driver to get those screws out. Works a treat
Anti-seize on the disc retaining screws? Switch to stainless? You need a set of JDM Yakuza decals for the side windows...
Give it a bit of a clean while you're under there. It's beautiful but I love to think it's what's inside that counts.
That's hot!
I've noticed you and others use those bonnet strut holders. When the strut is dead, it's dead. Just bend a slight kink into it at full height and you're golden - it's needs to be replaced anyway. Maybe don't do it to a customer car, but for your own it's a free solution!
The rod in these struts is huge.....
Clamp a pair of visegrips on the rod when the bonnet is up.....job jone😉
@@davidmcgee2983 I like the bend - just takes a small amount of force to go over the hump in either direction and it holds - no tools required!
Benny reckons it’s a thicker rod than he’s used to handling ;)
Bit excited there benny
Heck yes.
Too bad we can't post pictures on here,I snapped an epic photo of your car in Lake conjola a while back
Oversized novelty car. Sweet
That is a beautiful car my dude. Cant wait for NZ import laws to change to try get one in! Soo sexy.
What about them? Centurys dont seem to be all that unusual to see in NZ.
There’s heaps of them in NZ compared to AU
Would the disc locating screws be JIS not Philips hence the easy stripping ? They are only really there during assembly line location......edit as previously mentioned a load already down there 🙈
Them ssr wheels 😍
This things long. Benny 2020.
merry Xmas Benny thanks for the Vids
Great vid as usual. Looks like a sweet ride. Not fun to park I'm guessing
Are those philips or jis heads? A phillips head will strip a jis head all the time.
$10 impact screw driver makes short work of those phillips head screws mate.
I've always used one too because my VWs use the same style screw.
Oh! Putting fresh new discs on fully rusted hub faces.....
We actually covered this in a previous video. I only have tools to buff the space between the studs so it creates high spots behind the studs and could create worse brake shudder than not buffing them at all. I’ve been trying to find the hollow buffing tools here in Aus but as yet not found any.
What size turbo you putting on this Benny? Turbo is standard fitment once these motors are over here isn't it?
Was going to get one way tooo big . Thoughts ?
@@BennysCustomWorks it’s the only way.....
@@NuggetGarage century supreme.
My question is with painting the rotor hats - does the excess paint on the pad running surface contaminate the pads?
It’s only overspray so burns off during the bedding in process
So customs threw away the pollen filter but left the engine air cleaner?
I would probably just "short" out the brake sensors and never worry about them again.. open, closed whatever.. the light would never up here on my Dash.. 🤙
Lol I suspect Benny’s explanation may have been intended to make that option clear while still maintaining the lever of professionalism he seems to shoot for.
There's two kinda of countries, those that use the metric system, and those that have set foot on the moon. Fyi, despite what people on the interwebs say, in the US, we use a mix of SAE and metric, not imperial, at all.
That's hilarious. NASA used the metric system to do all the calcs for the Apollo missions. Then converted the results to Imperial.
Ignorance is a choice, sadly you echo the arrogance displayed by many American's. Pathetic!
