[@McwacNasty]

Thanks a ton man. You’ve helped me with a problem I’ve been chasing for some time now. 🤙

[@DanMX2112]

Good to know, and thanks for watching!!!

[@jorgelsanchez4388]

Good work.Glad ur bike is coming together little by little.!👍💪

[@DanMX2112]

Thanks man!!!

[@juansebastianortega9477]

En realidad me ayudaste mucho gracias alos clips dela mordaza que no sabía dónde hiban ..hasta que lo pusiste

[@lesbetonnes9074]

Le piston est à l'envers. La partie creuse va vers l'extérieur, et la partie plate à l'intérieur.

[@DanMX2112]

Brembo pistons don’t have a hollow side. If you watch the video, you’ll see that when it comes out, otherwise you’re correct on most brakes. Thank you sir!

Hey got a question! My old ktm exc 125 lacks break pressure, dont get me wrong it brakes fine but the lever is pretty spongey.. I bled it multiple times to no succes, do you know if rebuilding the brakes or master cylinder might fix this?? Thanks allot!

[@DanMX2112]

It will help but the spongy feeling is due to two things. Not having a steel braided brake line, and having air in the line. If you have a braided brake line, bleeding the air is your issue. The master cylinder would be a cheap and viable option after the bleed, if it continues. Did you zip tie the lever overnight? That helps sometimes evacuate the air.

[@bve7397]

@@DanMX2112 I did try zipping the lever, works but only for a day or so doesnt seem permanent

[@DanMX2112]

Hmmm, mine is soft but not spongy, I wonder what’s up.

[@bve7397]

@@DanMX2112 Oh yea spongey soft kinda is the same, it brakes fine. But I can basicaly pull it all the way to my handlebars if I really want to :/

[@bradleyferrell9242]

My leaf spring doesn’t snap in like yours did I’m not sure how to put that in correctly and have it stay while putting the brake pads on and then back on the bike everything just wiggles around and falls apart

[@bradleyferrell9242]

I’ve got a 2004 KTM 625 but bought it used so not sure what the caliber is

[@DanMX2112]

The leak spring doesn’t really “snap in”, more just fits in the bottom of the caliper. Maybe you have it the wrong direction, I’m not sure.

[@bradleyferrell9242]

@@DanMX2112 in the video it sounded like it snapped in. I think I might have the wrong size. It doesn’t stay in and when I put in the break pads they all just move around even with everything back together on the bike

[@bradleyferrell9242]

@@DanMX2112 I was riding it around to test and the pads came loose and got bent in the spokes on my wheel. Bent the pads and shredded them. Basically taking it to a mechanic at this point but the video was amazing I think I just have the wrong part or different calipers

[@DanMX2112]

Ya that’s not good at all. Best order a new one!

[@user-il6fm6jx4b]

I tried pressing the piston back in on my back caliper with a c clamp and think I heard it crack, it looks a little damaged is this a big deal

[@DanMX2112]

Yes, you’ll need a new piston

[@user-il6fm6jx4b]

@@DanMX2112 god dangt lol

[@user-il6fm6jx4b]

@@DanMX2112 idk why it wouldn’t press back in, any idea ??

[@DanMX2112]

Sorry brother, it suck when those things happen…

[@Z28jayvo]

Just bought a kit and the seal where to small

[@ColbyKinman]

You only showed the back break

[@DanMX2112]

@@ColbyKinman front is the same

[@wlanceg]

Didn't you put the piston in backwards?

[@DanMX2112]

No sir, but you did make me watch the video and double check 😂 the KTM piston is solid, so it’s closed on both sides.

[@wlanceg]

@@DanMX2112 strange. Mine is not solid, so it must be a change throughout the model years. Great video. Thanks for the info.

[@DanMX2112]

Your welcome, and if it’s not solid, the open end faces the brake pad! Good luck and thanks for the comment!

[@wlanceg]

@@DanMX2112 That's correct. The reason I thought yours was backwards was because I saw the solid end facing the pads. I honestly have never had a solid one. Maybe they stopped that after certain years.

[@DanMX2112]

I’m sure they did for weigh savings and response. It’s a heavy little piston honestly!

[@justinvh7661]

Brembo made under licence in China

[@DanMX2112]

As is everything in the world now days!

[@Tylermyers954]

Why would you show the front caliper if you’re not going to work on it, goofy.

[@DanMX2112]

Lol 😂 hmmmm maybe because it’s the exact same steps, only 2 pistons? Ya that’s why haha nothing but love my friend!
