Ford Territory Falcon Brake Caliper Rebuild

[@RedrooAU]

Great vid wish I had watched this before I started on my BA sedan this afternoon had to put old brake pads back on as piston would not go back into the calliper bore a re-build for me I’ll be watching this a lot as I am doing them and will order the grease you mentioned also cheers Corowa NSW:

great vid easy to follow, I will be doing the same to my territory this weekend

cheers mate making it look eassy

[@thewholls7176]

Good job mate Going to DOT 5.1 fluid is also a good upgrade And at 5 bucks each Stainless steel bleeders are well worth it as well….

Great Video, Very Helpful. Thank You. ;)

Thanks very much for this video.

[@alexvagalex96]

What brand rebuild kit did you use and how have they held up?

[@dylanlangheim05]

Are u able to send me a link to get the grease plz

[@cocococo1126]

Excellent tips! Just wondering where do you get your fluorine grease. Cheers thanks

For all the people who come by this video... Territory pistons are made out of a type of plastic (Pheonlic Resin or type of Bakelite, however you want to call it) and they CAN NOT be sanded and reused. The ones in the vid are plastic, they aren't rusted. The colour is the tell tale, they are a browny red when new. They also have a steel cap on the face the pushed the pad. So don't listen to this one where its said you can sand and reuse, that's only on steel pistons. What happens is they are coated with a protective coating from factory and overtime this coating wears away. This allows the piston to start absorbing fluid causing them to swell slightly. Its this swelling that makes them jam in the bore. A new caliper or rebuild with steel pistons is the fix, as what was done here.

[@TerryJonesPrinterRepairs]

Well I disagree, they can be sanded AND they can be reused if they are Bakelite pistons. That is why I go to great lengths in the video mentioning the highly fluorinated Grease. When you push the highly fluorinated grease into the piston it performs a sealing action preventing any water absorption. I have countless calipers I have done if want to have your mind changed, but I know that's not going to happen.

@@TerryJonesPrinterRepairs You can disagree all you want, but it doesn't make you right. Your credibility isn't helped by you not realising that the piston you are holding isn't steel at all and the rust you are trying to describe isn't rust and corrosion, but simply the colour of the plastic itself. Surely you recognise how illogical your stance is there. These pistons jam in the caliper because the protective coating fails and the fluid penetrates the plastic causing the piston to swell. As we both know the clearances are tiny. Your suggested solution is to take a ruined and swollen caliper, sand it down a little, further damaging, coating it with your grease and pushing the already swollen piston back into the bore and claiming its now waterproof again.... While somehow ignoring the obvious fact you are trying to reuse an already oversized piston. Yeah, nah... Not really going to work. If your not interested in hearing it from me, maybe industry professionals will resonate: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eKLSiZ53j910oKs I don't have to change your mind and your not going to change mine. You may have been successful with this method, but how many of these rebuilds have you done on with plastic pistons? My post was more to inform others of the missing information in your video. They can choose to believe whoever they want and do it how they want. But it helps to have all the info. P.S. I said they were a type of Bakelite, not actually Bakelite. Phenolic Resin with a protective layer applied.

Hi how do I get one piston back in as its come out when putting a g clamp on 1 what do I need to do any ideas

[@arm7987]

@@ivankrajinovic1809 Your going to have to remove the piston and dust boot, clean the dust boot out and reinstall it like in the video, then do a bleed on that caliper before driving it. You'll also need to open the bleed screw to allow the piston to go back in. The pistons go back in my hand, they shouldn't be like in the video. There will be an initial resistance as it pushes past the seal, then it should like right in with almost no force. It's something you need to do very soon as it will self bleed and empty the master cylinder and ABS module and cause more issues during bleeding.
