Here's how I repaired the stripped banjo bolt hole on my Baer drag brake caliper. I used a helicoil kit from Amazon.

awesome job..I would have bought a new caliper..I would never thought of that. thanks for information if I have a problem like that now I know what to do.
Thanks man! Definitely a little nerve wracking, but a little patience goes a long way.
I just stripped my brand new rear Brembo caliper exactly like this. Soo disappointing! I got the other 3 installed and hopefully I can repair mine like you did!
Just take your time and you'll be fine.
Is corrosion to this material a concern?
Not that I'm aware of.
Thx for this ! Never seen it done before
No problemo, broski!
Nice Repair bro 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻. I hope she works well for you. .
Thank you, brother! 🤞
Awesome video! Years of machining I can’t tell you how many times those HeliCoil kits have saved my butt 👍
Right on, man! Definitely saved me on this one.
I made the catastrophic mistake about a year or so ago of stripping the threads out of the banjo bolt hole for a brand new caliper. I ran my fingers across the hose fitting and seen one of the crush washers fall to the ground. I even scraped it with a pick and never seen a second one fall. I didn't make absolutely sure BOTH washers came off. I put two fresh washers on and tightened the fitting on the caliper but it wouldn't stop leaking and it didn't seem to get tighter past a certain point. I backed it out and three washers fell out along with some metal shavings into my hand. Is this fixable with something like this?
Very possible. You just have to be sure nothing gets into any ports within the caliper.
Would you be able to update on if this worked? I have a similar situation(flare nut fitting instead of banjo bolt) with an aluminum 4-piston caliper. Was your fix able to hold pressure?
Yep, it worked out great. Ended up selling the car awhile back, but had no issues whatsoever.
@@BackyardBMX73 Awesome! Thanks for getting back so quickly
@@GryphusOneYT no problem
Helicoils do work.
Yes indeed! I've used them before.
Great job on installing the helicoil!! Hopefully no leaks and your good to go!!! Now get that Whipple on!!!
Thanks man! Yeah, I'm really hoping no leaks so I can get going.
First!

What size kit did you get? I just did this on my Baer brakes same exact ones. Need to order a kit to fix my brakes
I don't recall what size I used, but I called Baer to verify the size of the banjo bolt and used a size that would accommodate the Baer banjos.
@@BackyardBMX73 ok thanks bro , you can check Amazon orders on your history? I really wanted to order it now and not wait until Monday.
@@mustangelboricua3240 lemme see what I can find out for ya.
Here you go:

I'll send the link through Instagram as well.
@@BackyardBMX73 thank you bro 🙏🏼🙏🏼
Great job Sir, looks like a real clean install. It will hold pressure fine. Go grab a bowl of skittles Sir. Suck up some AC and relax
Thanks man! Funny you say that cause I had skittles tonight 😆
@@BackyardBMX73 I know you were eating those, Bossman said he sent you some for online driving lessons. Lol
Still have the car? Interested in if this held up 2+ years
Recently sold it, but the Baer brakes are still on it and working great.
RAM awesome! Do they do Foxbody clutches? Cool fix dude!
Of course they do! I still remember the Ram part number I always used to run 88794HD 😁
it seems all the important work we missed on how to do it you just show after and its all done nice caliper anyway
Yeah man, I don't like doing how to videos, simply because they take so much time to edit. I wish I had more time so I could get more in depth with things that I do.
Pointless video didn’t say if it leaked or not
Not pointless. It did not leak.
Boy you crazy for wanting to install that whipple in the middle of the hellish summer's we have . Lol good luck on the caliper fix
Haha, right! Gotta get it done though. Thanks man!
do you think i could do this if my port is on the bottom instead of on the side like yours?
I don't see why not.
Great repair, brother
Thank you bro!
Great repear thanks brother 🇬🇷
🤘🏻
Curious if this worked have a brand new set tightened the line up and it pulled the thread.
Im so ticked off right now
Yep! Still holding up well. I feel your pain! I was not happy when I stripped mine out.
@@BackyardBMX73 glad to hear and thank you for responding and glad to see it's fixable
@@caseyfyfe8655 no problem! Let me know how yours comes out.
@@caseyfyfe8655 hey bro what size did you order I just did the same thing to my Baer brakes ?
Good instructional video
Thank you bro!
How’s it holding up any leaks ?
Holding up great! No leaks.
I literally did this today... Not sure if it's worth it to helicoil when I can get a reman caliper for $75
I hear that. Unfortunately, my brakes ain't that cheap lol
