- Hello everyone,
In this video I'm taking care of the old Triumph's braking system.
It's a mix of very old and some more recent clips.
Hope you'll find it helpful.
Thanks for watching! - Zábava
Sweet memories - this summer I had my first attempt to overhaul the brake calipers - as I'm typing with all members attached and functioning, I'd say it's a successful operation. Wish I would have had your video running in the background at the time. You make everything look so easy.
Thank you for the great contribution you are adding to the motorcycling community.
Thanks for your comment mate :) I’m sure you’ve done a good job of it :)
That look at the end 😆. Very well done as always. Chris is a lucky guy.
Thanks for your comment! :) Yes…I don’t always enjoy doing the messy work :))
brilliant video, had a good chuckle with the piston firing out the caliper.
Yes. Good thing I wasn’t aiming at the camera 😆
@@garage_tales hahaha she blasted out quick fast
Why even bother, for the cost of refurb, buy a set off Ebay.....make the Ebayer an offer.. I mean holy cow , hardly anyone owns these bikes anymore, used pats are plentiful especially brake calipers, etc.. just buy a good set of used Nissin Triumph badge axials and save yourself the BS....Weigh the costs of the refurb cause your going to need new seals, pucks, etc..vs used caliper set...Looks like you broke that rear caliper pin in the body while extracting w/ heat..they are longer than that...I believe the rest is still seized w/in the caliper body.. ..Unless this is a tutorial on how to aggravate yourself refurbing calipers which are BEYOND SHITE for no apparent reason ..Lol !
Well…because as long as the casting is in good condition, with a rebuild kit you basically get it as good as brand new and you have stainless pistons in it. Which matter if you’re going to use it in the winter. With an old calliper you should still replace the seals because they’re probably 20 years old. I would anyway before putting them on the bike. So you’d hardly saved yourself any aggravation or money.
On the rear calliper, idea was to brake the pin in 2 sections and give myself a hole in the top for the extractor. It’s all out..don’t worry :))
I mean you probably wouldn't bother rebuilding/upgrading anything if you're a useless muppet who doesn't know what a wrench looks like. If you buy used you still have used items. Have you watched this series? Probably don't need to worry about a caliper pin being left behind...he appears to know what he's doing.
@@garage_tales One question, I thought I get some new pads on my 955i (same model) today. Took it apart and wanted to clean the pistons of all the brake dust / gunk. Wanted to pump them out, and I had the same thing: only one came out, when I held it in place the others came out, I had to play with it a little to get them all out, is this how they normally operate? Or would you recommend a rebuild?
@@SuperWhiteBarry Hi there. Thanks for your comment. I can’t really say without seeing it. The friction is never going to be exactly the same between all the pistons, so what you described wouldn’t immediately worry me. But it depends if you think the difference in friction is considerable or not.
@@garage_talesYes it worries me as well, I thought easy job. After the cleaning and changing the pads one caliper all 4 pots come out against the disk. And the other one only two (one side) it seems. If I hold the pad while pumping the brake the other side comes out no problem. I cleaned them thoroughly with hot water and some laundry detergent using a soft toothbrush, after that when they were shiny again I cleaned everything off with loads of brake cleaner, used a little bit of red rubber grease on them before pushing them back in (after that I saw you didn't use any rebuilding them). The brake fluid was nasty as it could be, dark and had some gunk in it as well. I used a syringe from QWORK to push the fluid from the calipers up a few times on both sides, as I didn't wanted any of it in my calipers, until the fluid in the reservoir was clean and had 0% moist in it (measured it with a brake fluid tester pen). By then it was dark and had to put the bike in the shed. I have a day off today so I go ahead and try to bleed them once more the traditional way using the master cylinder and flush the fluid that way around once more and check them again...
