Wonderful instructions ! I have found that sliding pins and brake pads need this maintenance annually when living on dirt roads and road salt is in the mix...! From Northern Vermont here. Thanks for posting

The drill bit trick was amazing. Also not having grease on the top of the pin. Good tips!

Main reason for viewing this video was to learn how a professional mechanic cleans the bore. I was expecting something like a small bottle brush but the drill bit is SO practical. Now I should go check my brake slider pins because I am sure that I used too much anti-seize grease and particularly within the bore and the end of the slider pin.

No frills and a great tutorial. I am liking and subscribing just because you did not spend 20% of your video with ads, snake oils or fluff!

Thanks for the info, I just put in a full set of new brake pads this week and had 1/8 slider pins with much more rust than expected and not much silicone. Cleaned up with several cycles of insertion and cleaning of silicone, but plan to check out again and clean better soon with your information. Seal may actually have broken as well, will investigate a bit.

Learn something new here. I like how you use the screw bit to remove the grease on the inside of the pin housing. Makes me want to try this out.

Cotton swabs work amazing to clean the slide pin chamber out. Also make sure to clean all the old grease out of the boot, I've seen many that the grease in the boot was like wax

Take the caliper bracket off, only 2 bolts and put the bracket in your vice. Remove the rubber accordian boots and clean them inside too. Use brake parts cleaner and a wire brush on the bores till all rust or dried grease is gone. I use regular wb grease on the pins. Re-assemble everything. Lasts about 2 yrs here in Buffalo NY weather.

Good tips. If you are changing the slide pin boots anyways you can completely clean out that hole with break parts cleaner. The gunk will melt and pour out. Break cleaner obviously melts rubber.

Great idea for the slide pins and cleaning when working on the brakes.

[cesarbeg]

Excellent class, was worried about whether I had put too much or too little grease

[ronaldmagyor]

I just spray brake cleaner with the little hose that comes with can in hole and use a long wooden q-tip to clean it out. Works everytime.

[GrizDrummer]

Thanks for this! I have a pin stuck, and this makes me feel more comfortable doing it myself instead of paying a shop $500-700! The drill bit is a great idea if I can't find a wire brush that size 👍

[michaelhaynes]

Thanks for the instruction. Very useful and well presented.

[tsgrvqp]

Thank you very much! I did exactly like you showed, everything working great! I saved money and basically I like to do everything myself.

Don't know if you grease the bracket where the brakes slide back/forth ? But if you do, it's better not strange I know. But the grease on the sliding surface on the bracket, will collect dirt and drie up over time. Then at that ends of their slide travel it will build up. Your brakes won't fail, don't it's actually better to let the bracket just rust as that rust will fall off / blow away....grease will dry up and build up at the end of the bracket with nowhere to go. Trie it on your own car and you'll see after a few years the grease became dried up gunk. 🙂 Thanks for the great video and tip for lubing the pins 😀

[grantmurray]

Thank your for the excellent instructions. Great video!

[stevendiffy]

Great video man! Thanks for all the tip.

[atticusrussell]

great video. Thanks for the tip about the drill bit

[swavekbu]

Fantastic teacher, thank you VERY much!
