Candy Gold Akebonos Getting Rebuilt :) They Came Out Mintttt
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
What's up everybody? I started the rebuild on the rear calipers, unfortunately, the non-chlorinated brake cleaner eats away at painted and powder-coated surfaces, and the chlorinated brake cleaner isn't available in California. I used compressed air and both a plastic bristle brush, and a brass bristle brush to clean them out. Hopefully I can have these fully rebuilt soon. Thanks for watching I'll see you tomorrow:)

Excellent detailed walk through. Thank you!
They call them splitter turnbuckles and/or splitter struts.
Impressive, my man! You know what matters when buying these calipers? I see plenty of rebuilt for cheap.. cardone for example, and I see ppl buying old, beat up used one's for crazy money. Why? Any advice, I'd appreciate. Pretty sure they don't make counterfeit. There is no market for it.

Honestly, it's all up to the individual, and what they're willing to spend. The rebuilt ones are generally cheaper seals, but overall pretty much the same. I just went with OEM because I value my brakes lol

@@fullthrottleperformance yeah, so I heard after looking into it. Cheap parts and quality control is nonexistent with some of these skumbags. It's amazing. Probably grab a set on ebay or something. I'm gonna clean them up and paint them. If you get lucky not much more money than remans anyway. Thx for input.

So basically, if you bought used or ramans you would open them up anyway to make sure or rebuilt them yourself like this vid? I just need you to rebuild them for me and I'll be alright. Lol. Doesn't look that hard, but I never did anything like that. I'm lucky I can install the fkn brakes.
Good progress!
Lookin' good Charlie!

Thanks bro!
You mentioned it, but in case no one watches deep. The snap rings should be put in after the piston and dust seal are seated.
Sick man

Idk, I really just wanna get these on, Idk if I'm gonna get them done, they're stock bolts they should be fine I'd think
hey man, do you have any idea as to where you get your oil rings? that’s literally all i need for my akebonos and i can’t find them online. 9:25 that’s the seal i need
Great video. Do you remember the torque specs for the bolts holding the casting halves together?

Sorry brotha, I don't remember off hand. I can't believe they'd be anything more than 55-60 ft lbs. But you should be able to find them in the FSM
Gotta love the Eco laws in Cali. Luckly in FL no one cares. Love the progress!!

Could you tell me what’s the gold colour code ?
I got some brembos that need power coat and rebuilding. Would you do this a service?

If I had the powder coating equipment, I would do it no problem. I might get the equipment in the near future. If I do, I'll come back and let you know:)

Hint: When making a KZread video stick to the context of your video, we don't care about your bumper swap or the condition of them. We don't care about the water problem in your airline, use a oil and water separator, we don't care what you had for lunch. What we DO care about is the disassembly and reassembly of the calipers which you sped up the video to the point this whole video is USELESS!
