A SEIZED CALIPER, prompted me to OVERHAUL my BRAKES!💪🏻 ✨BRAND NEW!!✨

This video is a run through of the full dismantling and reassembly process of the Rear Brakes on my MK2 Leon Cupra R.
I was suffering the common issue of a seized caliper, causing excess heat and damaging the discs and pads. So it needed addressed ASAP!
If you are going to do this yourself, just make sure you check what size brake disc you have as there is a number of different sizes. Once you know the diameter of it, the brake pads tend to show what discs they pair up with.
The rear of my Cupra R had on the following parts...
DDF1306C Ferodo Brake Discs - 282mm Dia, 12mm thick
FDB1636 Ferodo Brake Pads - TRW system, for 286mm Discs
JBC0321/0322 Kamora Caliper - for 12mm disc thickness, TRW system
48817 Febi Caliper carrier bolts
172798/172799 Febi Brake lines
614204/614205 Daco Backing/Splash Guards
M6 flanged Bolts for the splash guard - www.ebay.co.uk...

That is some crazy rust. I really didn't think that the place where you live, mathers so much when it comes to rust. Good job, well done! Greetz from Holland!

[@NorthCoastWorkshop]

It's really embarrassing to be honest mate 😬🙈 I wish I had looked after the underside better when I first bought the car 12 years ago. But I'm determined to get it sorted, as I want this car to still be going for another 12 years at least 😁👍🏻 Cheers Tim 😊

[@russelltobias9828]

Awesome work. Next time when doing an oil change and you change the sump plug. keep the oid sump plug, it works a treat when changing discs you can use the sump plug to keep the disc in place the threads are the same as the wheel bolt thread and its nice and short.

[@NorthCoastWorkshop]

Awesome tip mate 👌🏻 much appreciated. I have a reusable magnetic sump plug but I'm sure I have a normal spare one that I can use for this purpose. Cheers Russell 😊

[@_LuisS]

I like the way you work my guy. 😎 Specially with the beer handy.. Best part. 😅

[@NorthCoastWorkshop]

Cheers mate, and yeah I need the beers when working on this car 🤣🙈🍻🍻

[@_LuisS]

@@NorthCoastWorkshop can't fault you.. I never say no to beer. 🤣 🤣 🍻

[@robsx4280]

Great info you did a great job. wish i had the bottle to buy yellow when i got mine in 2008, such a great colour on the Leon.

[@NorthCoastWorkshop]

Cheers Rob 😊 yeah yellow is one of the slightly rarer colours, but I admit I do quite like the red and blue Cupra's too. Maybe as I'm getting older now, I'm wanting a more 'normal' colour 😅🙈

[@pdk60]

Another great video for us Leon owners. I've done well then, as my 06 Leon has only needed 1 rear caliper as it approaches its 18th birthday in June. Have you considered something like Lanoguard to protect all the running gear?

[@NorthCoastWorkshop]

Cheers mate, and yeah that's really good going for your calipers 👌🏻 Yes I've watched a few videos on it and looks like good stuff to use. I'm hoping to get the underside and suspension components refurbished/replaced, completely overhauled, then treated with something to protect it ongoing. Watch this space 👀😎👍🏻

[@ym-imyloi981]

That’s my silver Leon! Class 😂

[@NorthCoastWorkshop]

😅 excellent use of a kerb I must say 👌🏻

[@ym-imyloi981]

@@NorthCoastWorkshopaha thank you 🤣 top job on the callipers mate gonna paint mine soon as I get some free time 👍🏻 got a set of 6 pot 18z Porsche callipers to fit eventually on the front aswell should be fun 🫣

[@NorthCoastWorkshop]

Appreciated mate 😊 it wasn't a straightforward as I hoped, but turned out decent in the end. Oh boy, those calipers will be awesome on it mate. Looking forward to seeing the pics of urs all done 👌🏻

[@Lar_Cars]

I've the same issue with a rear caliper, it's pretty new but did spot a few slits in the piston rubber ... Same corrosion as mine been a Scottish car as well haha

[@NorthCoastWorkshop]

Corrosion is a nightmare! The amount of salt / sand / grit on the roads attacks the cars. I understand the safety requirement for road users, but always sad to see the side effects on our cars. Hope it's straightforward enough for ur caliper mate 🤞🏻😊

[@Lar_Cars]

@@NorthCoastWorkshop yeah not my first time to change them , get few prices ... Recently got an RTS clutch in , and a new fly wheel

[@NorthCoastWorkshop]

Jeeze, that must have been a big/expensive job 😬

[@Lar_Cars]

@@NorthCoastWorkshop yes the installation was 500e not to bad , 1500 for parts...unsprung clutch takes awhile to get use to gearing down on regular driving, nearly have have to rev match a bit

[@NorthCoastWorkshop]

It'll be an investment for peace of mind in the future, so although a lot, worth the money 👌🏻

[@superbikesquadracer]

Did you swap the tail lights to oem? Amazing work mate.

[@NorthCoastWorkshop]

Cheers mate, and no it's still the original tail lights I've always had, with fly-eye tint on top which I added a couple of years ago.

[@superbikesquadracer]

@@NorthCoastWorkshop I see. Well mate we always appriciate the hardwork edditing the videos and working full time job at the same time.

[@NorthCoastWorkshop]

​@@superbikesquadracer cheers mate, it is hectic at times, but I get enjoyment from the creative side of it all and love interacting with everyone that watches, so definitely worth it 😊👍🏻

[@AconcernedUKcitizen]

Geeeeez mate the rust, I use ACF 50 underneath every time I change the engine oil.. I've got the 2022 Leon.

[@NorthCoastWorkshop]

Yeah she's rusty under there. The highland roads have been hard on her over the past 13 years sadly, but looking to address that later in the year hopefully 😁🤞🏻

[@AconcernedUKcitizen]

​​​@@NorthCoastWorkshopI started to use the stuff on my brand new car, around my area the council in Scotland uses a lot of salt on the roads. I wash my callipers every week in the winter when possible with a special brush. Just changed my winter tyres and they're still looking new.

[@NorthCoastWorkshop]

Yeah the council up here use loads too, and it's full of coarse sand as well. It literally sandblasts the underside of the car. Once refurbished I'll look to get it treated and I'll look into that ACF50 stuff so much appreciated mate 👍🏻

[@oseo943]

That's some serious rust... my 2006 Leon 1p1 (1.9 Tdi BKC engine) has a different rear calipers set made by TRW (PR 1KD) which has never seized in its entire life (i bought the car new at the time) 230.000 kms on the odometer (143.000 Mi for the Miles heads). I'm in the process of installing her new second set of rear disks (and 4 th pads set). I live in northern Italy (which has a similar climate to the south of England) but the rust I have in the underbody isn't even close to that of your car. Maybe it has to do with the less salt that is put on the roads in the winter. Next jobs on the list are: Timing belt and water pump, thermostat, serpentine belt and all shock absorbers... wish me luck 🤣The cost of living are mad right now... i have to keep that "bitch" running another 5 years....

[@NorthCoastWorkshop]

Cheers for watching and leaving a comment mate. Yeah the cost of living is crazy at the moment, so I'm the same. I have to keep this car going for as long as possible. Fixing her up as I go. The rust is the worst bit but it's all replaceable components which I look to do very soon. They put loads of salt mixed with fine grit and sand on the roads up here in Scotland, and it sandblasts the underside of cars sadly 😞 Cars that are only 5/6 years old are already very bad for rust Best of luck with the jobs ahead of you on your car mate 🤞🏻

[@broomad]

Would be worth spraying any parts you don't want to rust with ACF50 😁

[@NorthCoastWorkshop]

Cheers mate, I'll look into that stuff 👍🏻 probably gonna have it all off soon to recondition the rear underside, so will have to give it all some treatment then before setting it back on its wheels.
