Love that trick with the socket and extension to get the pots out.
That one blew my mind as well!
Watched the video this evening and had to use the socket trick straight away on my classic cars calipers - great trip!
@@CajunGreenMan Yeah!!!
I was thinking the exact same thing lol.
Dell - I know this video is 5 years old but I have to comment on how much this video has helped me. I'm not a mechanic but very mechanically inclined. I've restored a number of motorcycles and with every one, I learned a bit more and take on progressively difficult jobs. My 1984 Virago caliper rebuild cost me nearly $300 CAD through nothing more than my ignorance and lack of knowledge having a shop do the work (and that was just the front brakes). I came across this video before I tackled my latest restoration, a 1987 FZR1000 Genesis that I plan to take back to factory new. The air compressor and socket tips were absolutely essential since all the pistons were stuck with this one too. I was able to do all the work myself with seal kits being well under $60. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Most welcome sir, im so glad the video was able to help you out, we have a whole library of videos on lots of work like this that can, as you found, literally save you lots of money on not just your projects, but also day to day servicing so you can keep your bike on the road.. if we've managed to save you as much as you say, then dare i say, maybe consider supporting us on Patreon as that's now we fund the garage and video content.. Thank you again for your kind words of support..!
Blimey what a great trick with the Extension and socket with the pots, every video of yours is worth watching Del for these Gems of experience for us that don’t know, top man…
Glad you enjoyed it Paul, you're most welcome, am glad you enjoy what we do, and thank you for your support in all ways.
Like the socket trick. I know I will use it someday. Always a Pleasure Take Care.
Bradley Thompson me too, never seen that before!
Friday and Tuesday are my favourite evenings!!
I'd just finished my fronts on a zrx1100 which were really stuck. Then your video popped up and I saw your technique for removing the pistons. That's absolutely brilliant. Wow I haven't seen any technique this cool in wrenching bikes since 1978. lol.
Most wecome mate. Glad I could help, really appreciate the kind feedback.
That method of taking the pistons out blew my mind right out the back of my head. That is elegant and ingenious. Now excuse me while I look for my jaw, it must have dropped somewhere around here
Ha ha.. Comment of the day buddy... Simple trick aye.. basic stuff for any mechanic..!
Hi Del, you probably don't remember but about 3 years ago I messaged you saying how I enjoyed your video's and it helped me through my cancer treatment even gave me the mojo to get my RGV sorted, you and penny kindly sent me a cap and some stickers, well the treatment seems to have worked and I'm still here watching every video!! just wanted to say I'd decided to have my 6 pots on my bandit 12 rebuilt, and the next day this video pops up, so I gave it ago myself and have saved myself about £150 😊😊👍 cheers
Hi Stuart, Wow, thats such good news buddy, you beat the bad guy for sure.. and so glad you're well again and still faffing about with bikes.. Massive respect for kicking back and getting your mojo back, it's easy to fall into self pity and give up, no doubt you're made of stronger stuff aye. Glad the video saved you the rebuild, nothing better then getting it done yourself mate.. Take care, Ride safe, and enjoy every day Stu... Keep in touch mate, be good to hear from you any time.. D&Pxx
I find it hypnotically fascinating to watch a great mechanic at work. And this guy is a great mechanic. Meticulous work. I once spent a frustrating & increasingly angry hour looking for a 10mm spanner whilst working under an old TVR, a spanner that I knew I'd already used that day. Eventually found it next to the kettle where I'd made a coffee earlier. Since then, I've laid out all tools and parts on an old towel, like a surgeon, exactly as Del does. Takes time but avoids stratospheric blood pressure readings and makes working on my bikes so much easier.
Thanks for sharing your story mate, we're glad that a little tip or trick equals lower blood pressure! Ride safe and thanks for your support.
Very therapeutic as ever Del - enjoyed that (and I too loved the socket trick!)....
Hi buddy, good to hear from ya, yeah simple stuff aye... just absolutely love the ol' Granddad hacks, serve you for a lifetime!
Yes please!!!!
This project is absolutely fascinating.
5yrs late to the video but better late than never will be using this guide tomorrow
8 of 12 pistons where stuck. Your trick worked. But still had to use a lot of force to the them to move. Perfect timing on the video. Thanks!!
Glad it worked for you Petter..
Nice!! The exact ones my 2002 Kawasaki Mean streak rocks. 👍🏽
I watched this video before I rebuilt my Nissin 4 pot calipers. I was so confident thanks to you Delboy and that I thank you for my friend. 🙏🏼
Great to hear, you're welcome!
Thanks so much for the socket trick to get the pistons out - That's saved me a lot of grief!
Can't beat the look of a freshly rebuilt caliper. Nice work as usual. 👍
I took my Busa out for a ride for the first time in six months yesterday and found that I don't need to pull the brake lever to stop, so your brake refurbishment video will help.
Great video and thank you!
Super video👍👍👍👍👍👍
Hi I watched this video yesterday and it worked great the socket technique was brilliant thanks
No problem 👍, glad it helped mate.
A handy thing I find to use instead of blue roll is cheap large puppy pads.
Think the wife picked up a pack of 10 A3 size pads for €5, there clean and absorbent and easy to fold out.
NEATO trick with the socket and ratchet getting the piston out. CHEERS from AUSTRALIA.
Cool piston trick
Delboy, you the man. Brilliant tip to get the pots out. Never would've thought of doing that. Educational as always. Learnt so much from your vids. 👍👍👍
I absolutely adore the process of laying everything out and being methodical.
Fantastic video Del, thank you. Great tip for getting the pistons out. Great work
That was a proper job and a pleasure to watch, Del. I especially liked your piston removal tip. Good stuff! 👍
Cheers Keith, simple stuff aye.. See you Sunday buddy..
That is a great tip with the socket del u always learn something new with your vids thank you m8
Just found that I need to strip and rebuild the calipers on my ZX6R so this video is priceless - really clear and logical and it has dispelled most of the fear I had! Thank you
Thanks Chris, so glad to hear the videos help you out...have also emailed you privately, you know why, thank you so much for your support... good luck with your projects, hope all goes well, all the best, D&Px
Wow bro, que sorprendente tu conocimiento y compartirlo además, eres increíble, saludos hermano, ya pronto veré lo de la placa
thanks mate! very helpful video.
Hi Dell, nice and tide job. Good trick that one with the socket, first time I've seen it. Thanks for that. Have a great weekend . Gus
Nice vid Del,some people are put off doing caliper rebuilds but you have shown how straightforward it is, clean clean and more cleaning,always does the trick, hell of a lot cheaper to do the work yerself,👍👍👍🤘
Now I know how to pull out that stubborn piston that I am jostling with. Hopefully I can ride again very soon! Always something informative in your videos Del. Great work!
You made that look super easy, great idea with the 7mm socket I like that!
Thanks Delboy, used that trick today on a 25mm piston, worked a treat to twist out a seized piston
From America: "We can always learn something." My 2000 Hayabusa has stuck front brake calipers. This man is a master mechanic, he knows what he's doing. Now to find out how to bleed these calipers... and, what's the cost of rebuilding versus the cost of buying new ones? Anyhow, this guys is a First Rate Top Mechanic, tripe A+. The little tricks of cracking the bolts on the bike and rotating the pistons. WOW. Really smart. This guy is a pure genius.10-20-23
just great watching a job done properly!
Way to work Del! Thanks for the nifty trick, keep it up.
I removed a few stuck pistons from my triumph today using that socket trick... Absolutely love it mate you legend!!!
Most welcome mate, glad it worked for you!
Nice video ,you are the best
Best video for tokico six pots I can rebuild mine with confidence after watching this, thanks
Most welcome Sir, glad it helped!
After a stressful week this has proved a great tonic! Keep at it!
Been working on bikes for years and this is the first time ive seen that socket trick. will have to try it next time ive got a seized piston. Great vid
Looking mighty good, Del. Nothing like watching the master at work! 🏍👍🏍
Thanks mate, have a good weekend!
Moonfleet41 😎
Thx for the detailed elaboration.
Finally was able to reassemble.
Tomorrow is filling on the list
I used a tool similar to a bearing bridge puller to remove the pistons.
Good idea with the socket! Great video!
Huge thanks for that piston trick, really helped with my rebuild.
never seen a caliper rebuilt before, not as scary as i imagined, and the trick with the socket was great, great video
Simple stuff aye mate.. just House Keeping.!
That trick with the socket is awesome. Thanks for that !!
No problem!
thank you so much man! I have to do just this job on my 99 Srad 750, you explained the work to be done really well .. a big thank you from an Italian colleague
I think a close up view of how you seated the seals and pistons would've be excellent for the noobs. Great video nonetheless. Thanks !
Piece of cake Dell!!!!!
Liked the trick with the socket and extension bar!!
Another intuitive video sir, always a pleasure to watch and lean from you. Great method with the socket and extension to release the pistons. 👍
this was awesome. Thank you for sharing.
Awesome video. Thanks for teaching us a new trick.. Penny and You Del Ride Safely and have A Wonderful Weekend.
Thanks Paul, you too buddy, ride safe, and enjoy the sunshine! D&Px
That's a neat trick with the socket, i will remember that , thanks
Thanks for the tip using a socket and ratchet to remove the pistons, worked a treat 👍
No problem 👍
Brilliant, just got all 6 pistons out of mine using the clever socket idea. Now need to clean, & get new seals etc & hope I can bleed them successfully.
You always make this stuff look so damn easy!! Wicked video!
Invaluable video! I wish I saw that 10 yrs ago when I rebuilt my calipers for the very first time in my life with only a manual as point of reference and no way as perfect a job as you did. Im sure you removed the fear of caliper rebuild with that vid. Well done bro, your the master and Im the grasshopper.
Hey Volvi, that's very kind of you mate, simple stuff aye, just a case of being meticulous and doing a nice clean install... have a great weekend, ride safe, D&Px
Another great job Del . I really do like watching your work.
Top job, liked the little technique with the extension bar & socket,& considering the state of the rear end, the calipers came apart very easily
Yeah, i thought so too, i recon they must have been refurbished at some point in the past.. but either way.. they're like new now.. !
We discovered my RF Caliper on my Boulevard C90 was weeping last night. Tokico 4 Pot. This rebuild don't look to bad to do, I might go that route!
prelepo odradjeno
Hvala ti puno
You make it look so easy. 👏👏👏👏👏
Excellent video. The socket and ratchet tip is a goodun. Cheers
Top job del look great too love all your hard work mate
Another smashing vid! I as well, sure wish I would have known about the caliper piston socket trick back in 1988, fighting with my RD350LC seized brake calipers from hell, lol!
Master work !!!
Great video as always so laid back and no dramas...brilliant
Sure thing mate, easy task.. Glad you enjoyed it
Very informative video, thanks for this👍
Great vid!! Was waiting for that one! 👍
The sun is out 24C . Back from 250km ride and a nice way to end the day with Del's new video. Nice job mate, great trick with the socket. Have to remember that one. Penny and you have a relaxing weekend. Cheers
You too buddy.. im envious of your long ride.. but sun's out, and im playin' out tomorrow..!
Such a nice video Del. Many thanks!
ps: i have seen him 3 times already :-D is a pleasure !
Great tips❤️
Excellent video as usual.
nice job, thanks
No problem 👍
Great work
Good demo of how this job should be done. My busa has 110,000 miles on it now so I've had the calipers apart a few times! Always better to do it sooner rather than later. Nice one.
110k miles on your Busa... thats impressive Ken... gives me great long term confidence in my engine...!
Wish i'd known about that trick with the socket when I did mine. 👌
Watch a cracking pair you’ve got buddy 😂😂, great rebuild, as you said, as good as new, great vid as always, love to Pen, regards Stu 🤘🤘
Top content, appreciate it a lot sir.
They look exactly the same as the calipers on my Zx7r. Have been thinking that they could do with a rebuild... Another of your videos added to favourites!
nice video love the socket trick fab
great video man !! Thanks !!
Te felicito, nada más por el truco de extraer los cilindros atorados... no me lo sabía!
great way to finish off a friday at work.
love the quotes at the end
great vid, i wish I had known about getting the piston out 3 weeks ago, oh well I know now lol
Master at work.
Every days a school day!! Nice one bud
Will be using the socket and extension trick in the future, just wish someone had told me about it 30 years plus ago when I think of the number of pistons I've wrestled with over the years. Thank you
Subbed just for the extension trick great idea
Welcome aboard Billy.
Thanks for the socket trick!! I used it tonight to remove my pistons in the same caliper as yours. Great job on the video!!
Most welcome buddy, use whatever works aye?!
@@Moonfleet41 I am rebuilding the same caliper. What torque setting did you use for the body bolts?
@@ericvannattan9181 Final full torque value is 21Nm, but don't got straight to it... torque them in three stages, i go 10Nm, 15Nm, and then up to 21Nm... and obviously as they are a long slim casting, it helps to toeque them in sequence.. i go "top most, bottom most, lower middle, upper middle".. that way you won't distort anything mate.!
like everyone else, love the trick getting the pots out. Rippa!!!!!!!!
Great job as always!
Love your little tricks ("need a tool make aw tool" hehe)
Greetings from Spain
Gracias mi amigo, es bueno saber de ti, te deseo un buen fin de semana.
So much fun watching you rebuild 6 pots..instead of me.. "having done them a good few times" ..
they're gonna be great ..as you know, having done them a good few times ..👍🏻..
great viewing Del as always...peace and love brother...
day off 200m round trip tomorrow ...at last👍🏻👍🏻
👍🏻👍🏻☮☮❤❤
that's mile not meter of course..😁😁
Damn and there was me picturing you, Maude and The Blokes at a Swimming Gala...!
Have fun bruv, and enjoy yourself.
I like that up date of the board.
Great vid del.
Cheers mate.. a little old school wisdom at the end of a shift aye..!
Você realmente e incrível 👏
