Brake Caliper Slide Pin Grease

It is important to lubricate your brake caliper slide pins as failure to do so may cause them to stick or even completely seize up which could cause uneven wear of your brake pads. The car may appear to drive normally, but the pads will only be pushed onto the disc from the piston side. This will give reduced braking ability on one wheel, and wear out the pad on the piston side much faster. The pads could also stay stuck against the rotor which will build up heat in the brakes and wear your pads down even quicker.
PLEASE NOTE: While the focus of this video is on the brake caliper slide pins, I would highly recommend that you use a threadlocker on all the bolts when refitting the carrier bracket and caliper and then tighten them to the correct torque, as specified by your vehicles manufacturer, as is demonstrated in this video: • Rear Brake Disc Renewal - Peugeot 307... . On this 2000 Toyota Yaris the torque settings are 88 Nm (65 foot pounds) for the Bracket bolts and 34 Nm (25 foot pounds) for the caliper bolts. Thanks for watching.

I love this video: no cold booger sniffing, talking about a dog or kids, swearing, prison/gangstah music, loud/long introductions, some old guy repeating himself, too much talking when they can show (it's a video), no head or shoulder blocking the view, everything out of focus, bad lighting, bad/wrong explanations,... etc. GOD BLESS YOU!
-
I can't thank you enough for the silence! Also, the really patient pace, great lighting, visibility, etc.
-
Great camera work here, no stupid music,just clear practical instruction...what more do you need on a relatively simple job like this. Perfect for the inexperienced home mechanic..
-
even though I already do my own brakes, I still picked up a couple of little pointers , good all round no nonsense instructioctional video, no talking, no music , no anecdotes just visual learning!

The clearest Demo I've ever seen. The camera quality was exceptional. But mainly clear instructions; nothing was missed out and no vague bits! I have just been doing this and un-seized a slider pin. I've made it smooth again and it's moving again. I also cleaned up the rubber boots. When dried I brushed some silicone grease on them inside and out to keep them supple so they should last longer and prevent cracking.

Salve. Ho letto tra i vari commenti chi non approva l'uso del grasso al silicone per le boccole guida della pinza freno. Ragazzi questo video è il più giusto e corretto che ci sia su youtube. Non si usano grassi minerali o grasso al rame per evitare di danneggiare, o meglio rigonfiare, i gommini. Certo una pulita alla pinza ed alla sua staffa non farebbe male come anche lubrificare le guide di scorrimento delle pastiglie con grasso al rame. Ciao a te e complimenti.

AMSR sounds of birds and metal parts is soothing to the auto garage junkie

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!
-
A nice video on basic brake maintenance, I usually do mine twice a year when change the wheels from winter to summer and then back again. I forgot how small some vehicles brakes are, I have eight bolt hubs with twin pot callipers, but they still need TLC.

OMG, I read most of these comments and smiled ! It's best to install new caliber/s if the vehicle 10 or so years old or they develope problem/s ! And, torque mounting bolts to recommended specs ! No need for lock tight on mounting bolts ! Keep it simple ! Brakes are the most important functional part/s of any vehicle, so don't treat them like replacement of a vehicle's cabin air freshener ! Cheers

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