DIY brake caliper restoration | AUTODOC tips

people are starting to realize less talking is better. this man explained the process without a single word.

Use foam earplugs for the holes and threaded sections. They're cheap and fit most sizes.

Very nice restoration. Autodoc must also produce restoration videos rather than only installations. 👍

Obviously, this caliper is a paid actor.

the fact that these vids are also recorded in stereo, doubling as ASMR, is just incredible!!

Wow. That was a dang work of art! Nice job.

You should remoove the phosforic acid dust before painting. And you should mention it because without my comment most people dont know what liquid you've put on.

The paint should be temperature resistant. A better way to use powder paints and an oven. But anyway it's better than keeping it as it is.

This is almost like ASMR :)

Much prefer this style of video, say compared to your V70 strut replacement video. Please consider doing repair videos in this format as well.

nice overview, i wouldve added a few more things: 1) main specs that should be checked before even attempting to restore the caliper. ive had the joy of completely restoring a caliper and then finding out that some parameters were out of spec and having to ditch it all. 2) cylinder honing - when the cylinders/pistons have corrosion, then honing usually gets it better 3) bleeder screw purgatory - how to get seized bleeder screws out and how to restore the holes without messing it all up. In screws that have not been serviced for a long time, the screw threads can be completely corroded to dust. This dust can re enter the fluid system and contaminate it. When drilling and rethreading its important not to damage the conical shaped bottom of the screw hole as its a fine-sealing with the screw and restoring that is a struggle on its own.

One small problem, you shouldn’t paint the part of the carrier where the brake pad ears slide on. It should be a metal to metal interface rather than metal to paint, for obvious reasons. Just greasing that part will stop it rusting anyway.

Excellent job. Lots of patience. I'm sure that was very satisfying for you ..

Masters at work

love these asmr restoration videos even i had a car accident last October 24th my w204 benz was wrecked and driving my ek hatch with destroyed suspension front and back. hope you made videos of 1996-2000 civic hatchback suspension restoration videos as well

Very well done! Bravo!

He must loved that callipers so much

Great video - just one thing to add.... I have never seen an ATE caliper (which is one in this video) have the dust boot fit on this easy - It's always a massive struggle to get the boot to sit onto the caliper!

Zajebiste te filmy! Tak trzymać!
