Caliper rebuild is actually restoring the calipers so that they can do their job properly again. With a brake caliper rebuild you avoid the need to replace the brake calipers within a short time and a brake fluid leak can be remedied early. In most cases, rebuilding the brakes is cheaper than replacing them. Please note: Our revision sets are not all the same. The sets can be filtered on the front and rear of the car. In addition, you can estimate for yourself what the rebuild task is. Based on this, you can choose the right set for your car and the desired brand.
When to rebuild caliper
Revision of the brake calipers is recommended every three years or after approximately 75,000 kilometers of driving. Sometimes early brake caliper revision is necessary, which can be recognized by a number of symptoms. The first symptom is a squeaking noise when braking. A squeaking noise during braking can indicate that there is rust. This will cause the brake calipers to slowly get stuck. This can also ensure that the car comes to a standstill much less quickly. Another symptom is running out of brake fluid quickly. This can indicate that a brake caliper is leaking. A leaking brake caliper can also be fixed with a brake caliper rebuild.
Rebuild brake calipers
Revising the brake caliper is a relatively easy job and you can easily do it yourself. The brake calipers can be rebuilded using the following steps.
1. Remove the brake caliper. Once the brake caliper has been disassembled, place it in a vice and then remove the larger, coarse dirt with a wire brush.
2. Thoroughly clean the brake caliper, piston and guide bushes with sandpaper and brake cleaner. Do you discover holes in the piston? Then you should also replace it.
3. Coat the parts with brake paste.
4. Install the new parts from the rebuild kit.
5. You can now also reassemble the piston and fit a new rubber in the guide bush.
6. Put the brake caliper back in place.
7. Bleed the brake cylinders until no more air comes out and retighten the drain plug.
