How to rebuild BRAKE CALIPERS

- Important note: It says to lube up various parts in the video with "lithium grease". The proper full term is "lithium soap based glycol grease". This is not multi-purpose grease (which can harm rubber), and you should use only grease that is specifically designed for lubing up brake components and seals. Use something like this: amzn.to/32OZmuq
Or this: amzn.to/2MPoonA
Here's detailed step by step guide on how to rebuild the front and rear brake calipers on a Toyota MR2 aw11. This process is largely the same for almost all brakes and can serve as a universal guide.
In the video you will see how to install sliding bushings, rubber boots, cylinder seals, cylinder boots, as well as the entire parking brake mechanism on the rear brake calipers.
I hope this video is helpful to anyone wanting to do a DIY brake rebuild. Rebuilding the brake calipers honestly isn't too hard and can be done with some pretty basic tools. It will restore proper brake performance, safety and also save you quite a bit of money in the process. A brake rebuild kit is a lot cheaper than remanufactured or new brake calipers.

Where did you learn all of this? Were you a professional auto technician? I'm really impressed by your attention to detail.
That was the most thorough guide to brake calliper rebuilds I’ve seen! Thanks for going to the effort of documenting this
I have watched easily over 40 hours of caliper videos, including rebuilds. Yours - and the soft-jazz soundtrack - is superb. The extra effort shows; especially your attention to details that are typically non-existent or edited-out. Well done, D4A. Well done indeed.
After searching you nailed it thank you I was wondering why my rears never bounced back. But with your video it saved me with the way the spring assembly is supposed to go. Thank you thank you.
Exactly the same as my toyota corolla gti (ae92) calipers! i have my rear ones off at the moment ready to be refurbished, you have just made my job much easier, thanks! keep the content coming. much respect
hey mate this video came at the best time I'm just about to build mine for 1992 AE92 GTI and the rear one's were freaking me out thanks mate for sharing the video
I was about to ask about what everyone else are asking about. Now, I know I need to cut the old one open. Might as well clean it and reuse it. It has a tiny bit of rust which can be treated easier than cutting open that piston, lol. Thanks for the helpful video. Keep at it. 😎
But once it’s open the next time you rebuild them they’ll be easier to do
you are ''one of his kind'' guy !! thanks
This is great! I already know how to do it and it's still enjoyable to watch ;)
I prefer installing the piston boot into the cylinder and sliding the piston down inside it, I find it's easier to get the boot over the piston when it's in the cylinder than it is to get it into the groove with the piston in the way.
Best video on rear caliper rebuilds, thank you so much
Nice, clear tutorial.
Just to clarify, when he refers to "lithium grease" he's talking about the red/pink lithium soap based glycol grease and *not* standard lithium grease.
This is an important distinction to make because the red grease is designed to be used on rubber seals and/or in contact with brake fluid, whereas the standard white or greenish-brown lithium grease isn't.
You can also use something like Molykote on the sliding pins instead if preferred and you want to try to preserve your red grease.
First sentence of the description 😉
I love the 90s VHS/DVD style tutorial, hahaha. Nah, but seriously good info. Seems you make a lot of videos I want to make someday first. :P
Yeah it's definitely not a vlog or fun the primary purpose of videos like this is just to be useful to someone looking to rebuild a brake caliper. No intro, no nothing, it just gets straight to the point lol. 90s VHS hahaha
Oh absolutely. That's why I love/hate making tutorials. Super rewarding, but less fun if you will. Great job still. :)
@@802Garage Exactly. They're also often evergreen content and that's never bad.
@@d4a evergreen content is great, I get half my monthly views on a video that's been up for 6+ years!
@@d4a can you please tell us what this song is? and... Great video!
BiggRed FTW! I was ordering parts from them since ages both for my nissan and MR2.
Nice, the song is just perfect. I love it
This was excellent. I would've preferred narration though. Now I have that music stuck in my head and feel.the need to push the door open button to get off the elevator. ;)
This is more like vintage cable porn music lol. Yeah, narration is nice, but there's a trick with narration - you gotta narrate :). This is really just a diy tutorial for someone looking for rebuild info straight away, no intro, no nothing, just bare information and instructions.
Great vid but big nono to use white lithium grease. For sliders it's silicone lubricant, and for seals/anything with brake fluid exposure use red rubber grease.
I used lithium grease because that's what the factory service manual calls for. Lithium soap based glycol grease. And that's what it says on my can of grease.
This will be a new Crisfix channel just bosnian style (haha) keep up the good work
Extremely informative! Thank you so much for making this👍 have yet to inspect my rear disc brakes on my GTS- been kinda apprehensive since they are disc with e brake. Not so scared anymore thanks to you.
Although with this 70 ish music I had to go upstairs and make sure to use enough lube on my piston...😂🤔
Hahahaha! Comedy gold!
Those slide pins look like they got hot at some point! When my master cylinder wouldn't release pressure and smoked my brakes they all looked nice and blue like that :]
Relaxing to watch 👍 nice vid, as always
Brake caliper asmr :)
Clear and simple 👍
Ohh i needed something to relax, thanks :)
Top top work, bravo👏👑🤝
Looks to be very similiar for the sw20
Great video!!!
WOW!
Thank you driving 4 answers
This is the BEST video I have seen on rear brake calipers with integrated parking brake and helped me very much with my Mk3/W30 rear caliper rebuilds. Rear brake caliper assembly design is identical to your Mk1/W10.
I did not understand at first or second watching of video that you removed the "nut" from the piston to hold the parking brake bolt/actuator assembly in place so that the snap ring could be installed. GREAT INFO and made job EASY. I purchased long 90deg bent snap ring pliers and made job even easier!
Have one Q: My rebuild kit, Toyota OEM, did not include dust covers for the caliper bracket slide (slide pin w/o bolt. Goes to open space at end of caliper). Any idea where I can get these (1 per side) as my rebuilt and painted caliper assemblies are now useless without this part.
Thank you and please advise.
Mr. P
Yo Mr. P, super happy to see the video was genuinely useful. I got all my parts from Big Redd fron the UK, did you try seeing if they have what you need?
Hello, @@d4a
Thank you for the response!
Checked Big Redd and kit does not show seal I require.
At end of you video, also noticed you did not have these seals installed. I am trying to find, and now working with my Toyota dealer and we will contact Toyota parts and try to get to an engineer that may understand the shortcomings of the rebuild kit.....just have to get past the "service help" first.
My only other option is to start from scratch and buy new rear calipers.
Grrrrr.
Cheers,
Mr.P
Do you have a link to a picture of the seal you need?
@@d4a
Below is a website from a Toyota dealer showing rear brake caliper parts explosion. Although link is to a torsion spring, the main diagram (larger one) will show the part I need at the upper-right corner.
Upper right shows caliper bracket and integrated slide pin. 1st part to the left shows the rubber accordian rubber boot that attached between the caliper and caliper bracket to seal the sliding motion.
Next part to the let is the dust cap I need. This mounts on the caliper to seal the hole in the caliper where the slide runs.
In Toyota parts diagrams with p/n's they show the accordian boot as available, but no reference to the end cap/dust cap.
Hope this explain "the missing part"
Cheers,
Mr. P

Hello, @@d4a
Will try to post some actual pictures on spyderchat in near future.
check for Mr. P in photos.
Mr. P
awesome guide , for that you get a sub
Two questions: 1. The OEM piston (rear brakes) has a plate that the bolt from the e-brake is attached to. The one you show doesn't have one in the concave compartment of the piston. Is that a problem? 2. The short rubber boot I got for my aw11 MR2 has a metal ring that doesn't seem to want to be pushed in. Suggestions?
i have an 89 mr2 and ive been watching a lot of your videos on what to do as far as bringing it to today's standards, i cant find the rear brake caliper anywhere and was wondering where you bought that rebuild kit from because it would be a huge help!
The Skinemax music makes the video.
The manual for the sw20 says to tighten the handbrake pin mechanism by hand. Why do you do it with the wood bar? Did u find it's more effective? Thanks for the great video
Rebuild the front and buy reman. Rear brake calipers, got it!
Are these rubber or epdm ?
👌👌
👌👌👌
Are you still running stock calipers or did you upgrade to a big brake kit?
What is the white grease you used to hold the metal pill piece?
What grease are you actually using? Company and product name. I’ve been searching for some with no luck. Thanks!
I used the silicone grease that came in little packets with the Bigg Red rebuild kit. But I also used Abro Synthetic Brake and Caliper grease after this on other calipers and it seemed like a really nice product.
This song is a fucking bang bang banger banger 🔥 🙌
Oh sure! Show only the easiest part of the rebuild, re-assembley. The hardest part of a rebuild is getting the old one completely apart and the masking for cleaning/recoating.
I mean it’s not that hard, like taking it apart is easier than putting it back together and cleaning is easy it’s just tedious
Will all purpose automotive grease work?
No. Use only grease designated for brake parts. Otherwise the rubber will swell.
Hey. How did you remove the special screw from the rear pistons? I'm doing this job at the moment but any figure it out!
There's a snap ring very deep in the caliper that holds the spring retainer and the bolt in place.
Hi thanks for the reply. I was talking about the piston internals. Mine seems to be the original caliper piston and instead of a circlip had the steel deformed over the retainer. Turns out the only way to remove the piston internals was an angle grinder to cut the piston in half.
The new pistons have a groove for a circlip like yours. Very fiddly to get the internals into the new piston.
Where did you source the parts that go inside the piston for the rear brakes?
Nowhere, I cut up my old piston and extracted the parts. You can't buy them new anywhere.
@@d4a big red offers new rear rear pistons with new internals, any reason you didn't opt for that option? I'm trying to decide which route would be the best way to go, new year pistons with internals, or new rear pistons and reuse my old internals. Any opinion on it? It's a price difference if £20
@@sw204me are you sure? I can’t find it
Heh internals from the old piston, clever!, I've bought adjusting nut (SST) to do this, also I've bought this multithreaded bolt damn 20$ for a bolt ((( because is broken, but where did you find new rear pistons with mechanism? are they toyota originals? or some replacement, because when I've bought ones from Seinsa / Frenkit / Autofren they were without mechanism, so as for now i have no e-brake, also i have no cables to it as i can't find replacements and 100$ per Toyota cable quiet expensive i'd say

I got everything from Big Redd from UK. My rear pistons also came without a mechanism. So I took an angle grinder and carefully cut open the old pistons and removed the mechanism. I then used a snap ring to hold the mechanism in place in the new piston. Worked really well honestly.
@@d4a Thanks for the idea of open piston, and snap ring.
Also for AE86 rear calipers, I've found pistons with mechanism from mitsubishi carisma, but the thread pitch bit different and they bit loose on this multithreaded bolt, haven't tried yet...

Also AE86 pistons are 35mm dia, and AW11 are 36, why )))) why not make them unified)
No 2 Audi
why didnt you voice this video?
The point is to keep it simple and focused on the information. Simple and clear text works better for that, at least in my opinion :)
I’m personally glad there’s no voice. I don’t need to hear a voice I just want to see what’s going on
Great video!
