Rolls-Royce CALLIPER PISTON Seals & HUB BEARING service on my Silver Spirit III. Ep.19

[@Robin-c8e1q]

That's one lucky elderly Rolls-Royce. It's so good to see it being brought back to life. The poor thing deserved the second chance it's being given.

[@life_on_cars]

Thanks and I completely agree 😊

[@Wheels_of_Interest.]

I'm loving the triumphant film music honouring the epic rebuild of the brake calipers! They stand like majestic monoliths surveying their status over the garden picnic table 🤣🤣 Keep up the good work Bud 👍

[@johnparnell8571]

What a satisfying job! The care and attention to detail you pay to each and every job on this car will ensure it will remain in excellent running order for many years - and miles - to come. Well done!

[@wayneseims4953]

Your attention to detail sir is second to none, a pleasure to watch and ( hopefully) learn!

[@life_on_cars]

Thank you appreciate it 😊

[@richarddoran3877]

What a fantastic job, and educational too. I didn't know the correct way of how to pack a bearing of grease, so thanks for showing us. I like the music. It goes well with the video, when a job is finished and looks good. Great work!!

[@life_on_cars]

Thank you

[@JL-of3db]

Great video Paul. Don't know how you always get nice weather on these videos! 😀

[@markclifton14]

[@keithfletcher6358]

[@ColinGarner-h1t]

I worked for Timken for ten years. Nice to see the tapered roller bearings are still going strong . 😊

[@life_on_cars]

Great spot ! Am I right in thinking they are original? 😊

[@ColinGarner-h1t]

@ I don’t doubt it . I worked for British Timken from mid seventies to mid eighties. I remember getting a new front wheel bearing for my mark one Cortina £1.75 !

[@EdsMiniEmpire]

Love it! Better than new! Great bearing backing technique! Those rear mounted discs on the hubs are bring me back bad memories of transits when I was an apprentice though 😂😂🫣

[@peterriggall8409]

Absolutely thorough job Paul. I could hear the wind whistling outside. Brrrrrrrr. Cool 18 deg. Spring day here in Tasmania. Just saying…….😀

[@life_on_cars]

😊

[@artofwargamblingstrategies]

nice video, perfect Sunday viewing

[@bantam49]

Very satisfying watching you doing this. Only way to make your Rolls reliable and enjoyable!

[@LCUVR]

Always look forward to your videos Paul

[@life_on_cars]

Thanks 😊

[@Mark-dm2mb]

Great demo packing those bearings. Im an armchair mechanic with completely clean hands but I like to see how things are done

[@life_on_cars]

Glad you enjoyed watching 😊

[@jimcabezola3051]

I'm sorry...but I find the sound of the wind swirling about your garage...so soothing! Beavering away at one's hobby whilst the weather's up outside is comforting to me. Reminds me of building my AirFix plastic models in my garage in the 1970s. Even here in Hawai'i, the wind is a nice musical accompaniment. You're doing this right, though. I could only put my models on the shelf when I was done. YOU...can take your hobby out on the road and drive it! Brake work on a Rolls is an epic task. In your (brake...) shoes, I would be grateful my Rolls-Royce ISN'T one of those vintage ones with the servo-assisted mechanical rear drums and hydraulic front drums. I had a mate with a dodgy old 1950 Silver Wraith who was massaging his brake system almost weekly back in the 1980s. What a faff... In comparison, your setup is a model of modern simplicity. Enjoy the results when your done...in the howling wind or not. Aloha.

[@life_on_cars]

Thank you. Yes, the wind is a good sound !

[@PeteWard-j3d]

I bet you won’t wanna take it out in the rain once it’s been MOT all the underneath will get dirty again😂😂😂 great video

[@telemachus9350]

Great video; very instructive and glad to see the car is coming along. Not sure about the music, though.

[@LarryBees]

Top job.. A joy to watch .. Lovely 😀😀

[@life_on_cars]

Thank you 😊

[@bradfordbarrettluckotheIrish]

Terrific job!

[@ianmead7712]

Honestly well done it looks amazing

[@life_on_cars]

Thanks Buddy

[@johncrocker1019]

Excellent clips..a true perfectionist.

[@life_on_cars]

Thanks 😊

[@grandtrousers]

Another great video, missed you at the NEC yesterday

[@life_on_cars]

Sorry I missed you at the show

[@Bombardier9011]

Excellent, passionate work. 👏🏻

[@life_on_cars]

Thanks for watching 👍

[@Kyleinasailing]

Very clear, so really good.

[@renepohl7619]

Why didn´t you split the calliper? Only 4 more screws. Cause between both halfs there are two more o-seals to replace, as the callipers intend to leak there very likely. Also cleaning and replacing the pistons seals is much easier job then.

[@Bombardier9011]

@@renepohl7619 No point, and you answered your own query!

[@christophers7070]

Great job, like new. Sorry, not a fan of the music.

[@life_on_cars]

I'd love to choose some different music but youtube say no 😅
