Brake Caliper Slide Pin Grease

Never ever put grease on the tip of the pin. It not compressfully and will create an sir pocket.

Very didactic explanation

How often it must be done?

Thanks

Thumbs 👍

Been a few years since I last did my brakes. As I don't do it every day, it's nice to review. This video was an excellent review. Thanks!

First of all I would scrape all those rust you have in your brake assembly.

Muy bien!!

Why silicone and not copper grease?

In my 2021 jetta one of the pins has a kind of rubber only at the top, at the bottom it is a normal pin. Is this also greased the same way? why come like this?

I agreed silicone is much better for the brakes pin.

gracias por compartir sus conocimientos muy bien explicados felicidades 🍀👍

Best video of its kind, no bull, just practical clear step by step guide. Can I ask a question, can a stuck calliper cause the wheels to squeal, in my case when the brakes aren't applied the squealing starts, then goes when you lift off the brakes.

Konuşmadan okadar güzel anlattıki helal olsun

Wenn möglich, die Kombimanschetten immer neu machen und den Bolzen kontrollieren, wenn er noch in Ordnung ist kann man ihn auch wieder verwenden

Mükemmel bir video ve sessizlik herşey anlaşılır ve net.

This guy sound like he has a coal

why you do downside only?

No shimmies behind new brake pads?

Excellent information, Thank you, is a nice way to show how to do the things!!!

premium grease

You don't want grease on the end of the slide pin, it will not completely compress and can lead to uneven pad wear. just a heads up.

I’m ready change May rotor and pads, but the problem I’m used a brake grease on the caliper pin,s are you thinking this Ist ok or something happen to the brake sisteem?

Nice job great explanation and no shitty music

Thanx, helped allot... question:
Why remove the caliper bracket? Seems like the cleaning and lubing could be done with it attached?

Is red rubber grease ok for sliding pins ?

Don't make a video if you don't know. You don't grease the pins all the way to the tip. Live 3/8" with no grease for not pushing the air in the pin. That's the correct way.

Excellent bro nice vlog . It's very different. Good job. Keep it up liked from India.

Good clear demonstration, only comment I always use lock tight on brake parts.

I've been just watching random videos. It seems like a lot of cars have this setup with the sealed boot. I have a LNF Cobalt SS and the rear rotors are notorious for being a problem. I live in Canada too so the winters just kill them. I don't even know how much money i've spent on these. Before last winter I noticed the one pin was super seized and I mean very very very seized lol. I tried to take the boots out but couldn't. I had to use a drill and my cutters to get them out. The salt from our roads actually got behind the boot and corroded the caliper so it was squeezing the pin from the outside in!. I had to drill the corrosion away and then greased the hell out of them. I have new calipers since then but even these are starting to look rough and just now my inner pad is complete gone again. I just ordered a new set of rotors and pads. I actually disconnect my e brake as well because that only makes it worse and the pads will chew much faster. GM messed up really bad on these. Anyhoo long story I know but it's been such a nightmare I would kill for a smooth set like the one's in this video lol. Also my fav design was on my LS1 ws6 with the e brake inside the rotors pressing outwards or even my V6 rear drum set. I never had a problem with my Camaro in 8 years of winter driving.

Great video man! Thinkin of giving it a go myself. Did you not have to wind back the caliper piston before reinserting it? Thanks 🙏

Use a torque wrench when tightening bolts on vehicles.

Three years later and still a perfect demonstration. Thank you very much 👍

If you move the piston make sure to pump your brakes before starting the vehicle!

Should have cleaned threads on calliper bracket and applied blue loctite, then torque to spec.

So TTHHAATTSS why the guide pins spin after you loosen yhe caliper bolts!

All men appreciate the lack of noise.

Que fue lo que le echo, Silicon?

why silicon grease ?

Hey man, would lithium grease work or is silicone grease optimal

What’s up with that bird , no cats around

Beautiful

Great video one of the biggest causes of premature pad failure and yet few videos show this step.

I didnt find a silicone grease, can i use a calcium grease or silicone lubricant?

Great video 👍🏼 thanks

I wouldn't use silicon on rubber component thou
