Make sure you use the right sort of grease - needs to silicone based and specific for use on caliper sliders. Using oil based normal grease is bad for the rubber components.
@Antto4 жыл бұрын
Typically I wire wheel the pins and lube the pins with silicone grease. I do not take those boots off - ever. Also I sandblast or use file on the carrier where pads make contact.

Videos I would be interested in: Rear coolant flange Removing and replacing cats. Particularly how to get to f*king bottom nut without burning that car down. Cvt transmission fluids ( yes there is 2 different types in one stupid transmission) Trouble shooting vacuum leaks, boost problems etc. Intake flaps removals or upgrades. High pressure pump trouble shooting and replacement. Rear in side gas tank filter replacement and fuel sending unit troubleshooting. Wheel bearing replacements and speed sensors (abs) system replacement. Install aftermarket radio rear back up camera and additional features. Hope this would help for good content because replacing breaks its 30 min job...

i just use an old brake pad and c clamp to press the piston back in. also, i use silcone grease for the rubber stuff to prevent swelling .

I know it seems obvious in the video and other cars I've seen, yet I want to confirm whether or not these calipers are supposed to have any shim hardware in addition to the large clip on the outside. I get a small "click" sound from the front drivers side wheel when braking lightly while backing out of and down my driveway. This is the only time it does this. It sounds like a pad was stuck, popped free, then seated. I took everything apart, cleaned and lightly lubed up with purple high heat silicone grease. Just didn't know if there is extra play due to hardware I'm supposed to have that's not there. Thanks!

All in all a good d.i.y. video. However - when forcing back the piston into caliper bore, use a proper tool for that. Also its a must to block off the brake hose with a brake hose clamp tool, and then open the bleed screw to let out old brake fluid as the piston goes in. That way any contamination and dirty old fluid wont go back wards into the system, through the ABS unit and what not. This is especially true if your car is being used hard like on track days, mountain driving...etc. Old brake fluid in the caliper must be drained.

Thanks for the great recommendation, and I wish I had the confidence that my repair shop would do this properly as you've described.
@SmokeyMcPot420873 жыл бұрын
What is the tool to push the piston back into the bore? Also is the other step needed if you are flushing the brake fluid anyway? It worries me about clamping on old rubber brake hoses..

I've got a B6 that I did a Touareg BBK on with the 17z calipers. I'm running PosiQuiet semi-metallic pads on Centric rotors and while I like the braking performance and the dust level, they screech pretty constantly. I rebuilt the calipers with all new seals after powder coating them. And I used high-temp caliper grease on all the sliding surfaces between pad and caliper. The screeching seems to stop when I get enough heat into the rotor, but they cool down so fast they essentially screech all the time. Any tips or things to look for?

I spent a long time researching whether or not to lubricate the pins on my B7. Couldn't find clear direction on it but I don't believe they come lubricated from the factory. Eventually decided to use grease that wouldn't degrade the rubber bushings and hope for the best. So far so good.

With ATE floating brake calipers, the pins must NOT be lubricated and the manual says so. But maybe with other types of calipers lubrication is desired. And yes, don't confuse lubricating the rubber sleeves on the outside (so that you have an easier time pushing them in) with lubricating the pins inside the sleeves.
