1972 Toyota Corolla: Brake Caliper Restoration

[@pargelooper]

some people might not like the music switching from clip to clip in the background. I find it kinda fun, fits the garage vibe. Its always fun recognizing a song, always infuriating when its so familiar and I can't name it. good fun either way

[@sunfishensunfishen2271]

I always thought it was an interesting detail. It feels less artificial

[@sansberlin]

If it's good, I'll listen to it. During the editing process I always get a laugh when one clip is Black Metal, and the next is Andrea Bocelli. Glad some of you enjoy it! I update the Spotify link with the songs I'm listening to at the time if you need that refresher.

[@dantizzle00]

I was thinking the same. Sometimes a single background track has an appeal, but other times, like this one, it's refreshing to have a more authentic experience, especially with the variety of music, haha. It was a great editing choice.

[@GuntanksInSpace]

The changing music does make it feel like actually hanging around a garage, but supercut. Excellent music choices too!

Nice video, very informative!! Your '72 Toy corolla is going to be the envy of many when you complete its restoration. My mother bought a new 1970 corolla in 1969 and I loved that car growing up. She owned it until the late '80's.Cherish that baby please!! Aloha from Hawaii!!

Just a little tip, if you blow another piston out, try using an old, worn to the metal brake pad to catch it on the other side.

love the series!! would also really appreciate if you could explain how the parts work and what they do, i have no idea about car mechanics and would love to learn.xx

[@sansberlin]

Id love to be that person, but part of the reason for this series is that I’ve never done this before and am figuring it out as I go essentially. Taking old parts off and replacing new is pretty simple, but I wouldn’t claim to know much about car mechanics

That copper finish with the texture of the cast parts is amazing! if i need to do powder coating I'm definitely going to have to "take inspiration" from this. keep up the good work, man. I can't wait to see it put back together.

[@sansberlin]

Exactly, I was thinking of Red, but thought it would be really subtle to do copper, a patina look for an old car. Thanks for the support man.

[@unrelatedshark]

That copper finish would look great underneath some black period correct 7 - 10 spoke wheels! I know its a restoration but these need to be shown off!

[@sansberlin]

Well lucky for you these will be under a charcoal grey Watanabe (Rep) 8 spoke wheel!

[@antoniomaselli9919]

Those turned out awesome, the copper on black (assuming you’re keeping my the black) will look really sharp Copper interior accents would look equally good

[@sansberlin]

Ya copper on black will be really subtle, not so alarming like red. Was thinking of making the currently blue engine head the same copper colour

@@sansberlin I drive a '99 Solara that I'd consider to be in amazing condition for its age, but I'm always toying with he idea of restoring some of the drivetrain parts like this. I'd love to see how it might've looked brand new. Especially since I don't plan to get rid of it. Plus reusing something that can be saved is always better than buying new!

[@theredscourge]

Great job as usual! Even though it's only short clips, I'm surprised you don't get a copyright claim for the background music - KZbin has been petty about that sort of thing in the past.

[@sansberlin]

I keep the clips extremely short, but I think the sound of the work im doing, as well as the reverb in the room muffles it enough. When uploading there are checks done for music copyright and I seem to pass them every time. I've been dinged a long time ago, but it was when I physically placed a song into the audio track of a video, so I keep the opening song and end song to open copyright

[@shortyrobby]

What a fantastic result - the finish is stunning! Your enthusiasm really shows in this vid - can’t help but smile when watching! Couple of tips: #1 consider wearing nitrile gloves when coming into contact with various chemicals. After a while you can potentially get contact dermatitis from repeated exposure. On the up side - clean hands 😅 #2: get a squeeze bottle for the thinner. Makes it easy to grab and use when you need to clean something and avoids contaminating the rest.

[@sansberlin]

Really appreciate the love and the advice! Especially the spray bottle for the thinner, thats genius, i'll use that

[@mottobc]

Joel, Do you think the retaining pins that you hammered will prevent caliper from sliding back and fort when the single piston is pushing the brake pads since they are thick ?

[@sansberlin]

I was thinking the same, but this was the original design and I had to hammer the pins out as they were so tight, so I wasn’t surprised when hammering them in

[@mottobc]

@@sansberlin my dad has experience with these type of calipers and he said they should allow to slide back and fort. We may be wrong but it is worth of checking the design and default specs.

[@sansberlin]

@@mottobc I’ll look into it, I wouldn’t want the added thickness of the powder coat to add unnecessary friction. Of all the videos I’ve never seen one with plates like these, always greased pins with a dust boot. So it’ll be hard to find…

[@sansberlin]

Hey, rear axel done, just need to make the video

[@toromanga]

maybe I'm wrong but I belive you shouldn't paint the sliding surfaces in betwin the caliper and the mounting bracket, this is a floating caliper, with only one piston so it needs to be able to slide side to side so it can grab the disk with equal force from each side (piston side and fixed side), that is why they have that sliding plates in betwin the caliper and the mounting bracket. so the plates that you painted grey, and the mating areas of the caliper and the mounting bracket that make contact with the plates should not be painted. I hope this coment does not bother anyone if I am wrong, its made with good intentions, and I hope that I explained myself well, english is not my native language.

[@sansberlin]

No you are very right. A few comments down we had this discussion, and I’ll be sanding down the areas between the caliper and the bracket back to bare metal. Thanks man!

[@toromanga]

@@sansberlin I don't have experience with powdercoating so I dont know if it is posible but I would recomend tring to scrape the paint with a blade instead of sanding, as to not remove material or alter the geometry of the area.

Joel, brake fluid is pretty bad for your skin and toxic/carcinogenic in general. Careful with gettin all oiled up like that.

Not sure how brake oil is, but brake line fluid would be pretty awful since you can quickly strip oxidation off of plastic headlights with it.
