How to Rebuild Brembo Calipers 6-Pot 4-Pot Seals | 17z 18z GS-F RC-F

[@drjimjam1112]

Thank you for all your hard work cataloging the Bremno parts numbers!!! I’ve seen people clamp a golf ball into the hole where a piston has come out of which seals the caliper and allows compressed air to for the other piston out.

so ive gone through a bunch of brembo brake "rebuilds" and nobody shows themselves installing the seals and boots. they always skip through it. thank you for the thorough rebuild.

Yea I try to show the hard stuff and Timelapse simple stuff.

Bru, I just got me some brembo calipers that came off a track hawk. I need to rebuild them to put on my Chrysler 300. I need to send them to you!😓😂

[@jorgep.2033]

Amazing work bro. Keep up. The caliper idea is amazing.

[@BushidoDriver]

Great video! The level of detail including part numbers) is top notch 👍🏿.

[@noearciniegas9426]

Wow. Great job they came out so good!!. Inspiration to do that big brake upgrade on my g35.

[@robertplant6667]

Nice job!

How would I figure out what rebuild kit i need for my 2015 genesis coupe 3.8 ultimate on the rears. My caliper is having issues and I'm wondering if rebuilding it would work

[@TunerwithKids]

You can probably find the rebuild kit on Rock Auto.

[@Katrina_L]

Great video! What do you think of the T4000?

[@TunerwithKids]

Not sure what T4000 is.

[@Katrina_L]

@@TunerwithKids It's the battery charger from Topdon. Did you check my email? I haven't heard from you for a while.

[@RedondoBeach2]

How often should calipers be rebuilt?

[@TunerwithKids]

Depends on condition and any visible leaks.

[@bbbb-wv8vo]

Hello. How do you remove the old dust cover? It's baked into me. ( 18 LZ , AUDI Q7 )

[@TunerwithKids]

Pop the pistons out.

[@davidjteo]

What brake pads are you using? I’ve had these 17Z’s on my Sportcross for about a year now with the OEM Brembo Low-Metalic P85069 pads and they’ve just been SO SO Dusty and quite squeaky. I Autocross about once a month, but the car is still my daily driver. I’m considering the P85069N NAO Ceramic pads or something from EBC, Powerstop, or Porterfield. Any recommendations outside of that? Thanks!

[@TunerwithKids]

I’m just using cheap Centric Ctek.

[@liionelbooon]

are refurbished 17z brembo's safe to use? assuming they come from a reputable brake shop. or would getting a brand new brembo GTM 6 pot be better?

[@TunerwithKids]

No different than normal seal replacement of any caliper. This type of rebuild has been happening since beginning of caliper/rotor brake setups.

[@liionelbooon]

@@TunerwithKids thanks for replying! would refurbished brakes have any less stopping power than brand new brakes? sorry for the newbie question but this is my first time getting a brake kit upgrade

[@TunerwithKids]

@liionelbooon nope it restores old oil seals.

[@mike67lego]

Did you re use your pistons and just buy new seals?

[@TunerwithKids]

Yes. Pistons were is good condition. Only reason to replace pistons is if they are damaged and won’t seal or overly corroded.

[@mike67lego]

Thank you so much

[@3n3ly7m9]

Wow that junkyard is a rip off xD $140 for calipers 🤣

[@TunerwithKids]

Them “core” charges that LKQ adds on.
