Thank you so much for sharing this video. I love the way you work, very clean and tidy, and always using the torque wrench. Since I'm planning to do the same job on my 159, I'm wondering if, in order to wind back the caliper pistons, I must rotate the tool clockwise on booth sides or maybe the rotation must be clockwise on the right side and anticlockwise on the left side (like some other moldels). Can you be so kind to clarify me? Thank you in advance!
Thank you very much for the kind comment! 🙏🍀 Yes, to wind back the caliper the tool must be rotated clockwise to press the piston back. And then counter clockwise you can remove the tool from the caliper again 💪 Cheers 🍀
@@939driver Can you confirm that both sides retract clockwise, so both rear right and left calipers use the same clockwise rotating tool. Cause I'm about to buy and want to see if I can get away with just one tool or if I need the whole set.
@@randomchannel1712 yes the tool just pushes the piston back in position. The tool rotates clockwise to push back, and counter clockwise to release amd can be used for both sides
@@939driverBut he is not asking for the tool, he is asking for the caliper pistons. If the right side requires to be pushed in by rotating it clockwise, and the left side maybe requires to be pushed in by rotating it counterclockwise.
Hahaha lol 😂 myself I drive mostly only on dry days with the Alfa, and the 1st owner had the lower parts sealed with a coating which I think also helped massively 🙏🍀
I will be doing mine this Saturday. The rear left brakes are binding a bit (when I spin the wheel and release it, it stops right away). And the discs are worn to zero. Plus I have a noise, that I thought was the rear wheel bearing, but it is just the worn discs with new pads (from previous owner). Does handbrake need adjusting afterwards?
@@939driver Did you had to bleed the air out of the system afterwards? Because I have just done the left side, and turned the engine on and pumped the brakes. But I think tge brake pedal feels spungy now. Not sure if the air had entered into the caliper when I was turning/pushing in the piston. :/
@@939driver I did the right side too now. I don't know man, it seems as the air has gotten into the system somehow. I mean, it now brakes like crazy in reverse, but forward I think worse.
What a great video, well edited and a nice little refresher before I change mine this weekend. Thanks.
Thanks a lot! I appreciate it 🙏🍀
Perfect! Just what I needed. Needed to check what piston-tool is needed for the rear calipers. Also got a white 159SW. It is such a beautiful car.
@@esbjornandersson2733 thanks man! Beautiful car 🍀👌🏻🇮🇹
Great video, just what I needed to confirm the rears are do-able. Thankyou!
Thank you man! 🙏🍀
Gracias por compartir tus trabajos y ese Alfa en blanco es muy bonito el color que más me gusta, el mío es del mismo color pero el sportwagon.
Ottimo tutorial, molto chiaro grazie
Grazie grazie 🙏🍀🇮🇹
Very nice job. Very clear and informative video.
Thank you man!
What are the screws? Thanks for the video!
Thank you so much
🙏🍀
What tool did you use to push the round head to fit the caliper back on when reassembling?
A piston presser tool BGS 1104

thanks you!!! What torque values needed for the caliper bolts?
Thank you 🍀🙏 If I remember correctly around 70Nm. But best to check in a spec sheet.
Grazie
Those wheels are great as well. I would like them for the winter set, probably. Again, I don't know their name. :/
These rims come with the TI package
@@JostViceYeah, I found that out later. I bought the 7 horse shoe 18 inch wheels for my 159, which I like a lot more.
Nice video! How is yours so free from rust? I just had to have my sills welded at the rear.. Mine looks like I park it in the ocean compared to yours.

@@939driver Very nice! It looks like a really nice car! They look great in white too.
Do you know the part number of the rear caliper carrier ? I’m going to convert mine to ventilated disc on a 2.0 jtdm
No, but you night find one on eBay. Cheers
Trw bda968 .. only the carrier of the pads is different

Does handbrake need adjusting afterwards?
Great work man, 💪 the handbrake does not need particular adjusting afterwards. Only if you have slack on the handbrake.
@@939driver Thanks. I am still yet to do it. I was just checking the condition. But in a few days, I will do the job.

@@DashCamSerbia no I did not need to bleed the system when changing pads. Brake pedal was firm.
