Great vid, thanks for making this!

[@seanwilliams5403]

Great content

[@arottie4097]

W0W! Thank you for this Excellent tutorial. Much appreciated!!

[@ProGamerKF]

You removed the rust before paint the caliper? Other way in a few months will all be rusty again

[@Coory2]

The bulk of it I did yeah. Took a very long time

[@2doort]

Did your rebuild kit come with that silver snap ring that snaps over the piston seal? Every vid I have seen nobody had one or showed it even being installed. But maybe it’s because 91 civic si ?

[@Coory2]

That confused me as well. I’m not exactly sure which models have them but mine certainly did not when I disassembled it and it didn’t come with the kit I bought. For this caliper the piston is all that holds the seal in place.

[@2doort]

@@Coory2 ahh ok makes some sense. I’m guessing I’ll try to put it on with the boot or something when I slide it will lock in. I hope haha thanks for the reply have a good one

[@jimmyzero9402]

anychance of any photos on the out of focus section. I can't put the rubber seal with the piston.

[@Coory2]

Unfortunately I do not, sorry. It’s a finicky thing to do, first one I did took a very long time

[@shawnwright240]

I was under the impression that brake fluid would eat away on rubber - should you have used something else to lubricate them?

[@TheKnyghtblade]

late to this party but that is what the red grease he had is for, it's red rubber grease designed for caliper rebuilds. for the slide pins high temp caliper lube is what you should be using.

[@calipercoatingrehab]

Nice job! I'd recommend a piece of wood to prevent the piston from shooting out....sometimes they can take off like a rocket. Also, clean first & paint last - brake & carb cleaner eats fresh paint quickly. We also use red rubber grease instead of brake fluid for seal & piston lube, that way when it gets on gloves the brake fluid wont attack the finished surface and it's hydraulic system friendly.

[@Coory2]

Appreciate the tips! Was actually planning to include painting in this but I learned the hard way that carb cleaner and freshly painted parts don’t mix well at all so decided not to. Can see on that white towel where it came off, had to add a couple coats once I was done assembling the caliper 😆
