Porsche 911 (87): Restoring The Brakes (incl. Hand Brake)
Vložit
- čas přidán 24. 03. 2021
- This film is about the restoration of the brakes of my Porsche 911 Carrera 3.2 from 1987.
The rear braking system consisting of brake and hand brake was disassembled down to the single screw. All parts have been restored or renewed and zinc-plated where required. The adjustment of the hand brake / parking brake is described in detail.
The production of this film was supported by JP Group Classics from Denmark who gave me some of the spare parts for free.
It was also supported by matoopa.com, my trusted shop for classic car - related tools.
If you're interested in the Gedore Red torque wrench (R68900100 / 3301216), please send a mail to info@matoopa.com and mention Greasy Fingers Channel.

Fantastic work on restoration of the brakes
What a beautiful refurb mister fingers
Thanks, mate!
The crack about the Laws of Friction early on in the video was priceless!!!
😆
0:58 I'd like to give my shout-out to that brave Proxxon ratchet :) Great video as always, thank you and keep them coming!
😆 It appears it has cost her life. Since that she’s not the same anymore.
Wonderful - binge-worthy material.
Glad you like it, mate.
Please recommend it to friends. 😊
Just love the attention to detail as usual
Thank you Andrew. Prick, as I said.
Realy loving it and learning here. So clear so ZEN 🧘🏽♂️thanks for sharing!
You‘re welcome mate.
And sorry, I missed to reply to your comment earlier.
I so enjoy watching these videos, thank you!
Thanks, Jouko!
Love your channel. I learn a lot watching you work. Thank you! Your attention to detail is wonderful. Nothing wrong with that.
Thanks, Gary!
A joy to watch good craftsmanship!
Thank you, Tian.
Your attention to detail is some of the best content on the internet for 911's. You have helped me fall back in love with my slightly neglected 911SC and have inspired me to tackle getting it back to its former glory and then some!!
Man, I‘m so touched by this.
Thanks a ton for the feedback!
Thanks as always for my Tuesday afternoon moment of Zen. This should help offset the pure panic that the current 911 prices are giving me.
I like your wording! Tuesday afternoon moment of Zen. That‘s cool!
Great work on the brake refurb - nice attention to detail in repainting the dust shields .
Yeah, they live in a very aggressive environment. They need some love now and then.
I came across your channel by chance. Your attention to details is second to none. I have a 1989 911 3.2 with 964 body kit. I will love to return it to impart bumper. I have been unlucky with with bad mechanics. Thanks for showing the break assembly 🙏👍
Great that you like it and it helps you.
Beautiful work! Will definitely be recommending this to my hair stylist!
I‘m sure he’ll love it.
Great job on explaining to us mortals what to expect before jumping into a break restoration project. I specifically love the detailed explanations and the humor in the narration (14:10 - recommend to your hairstylist - lol). You my friend are a legend, keep on the great work!
Thank you, my friend. This is such a cool feedback, I’m loving it!
Another superb video. Thanks.
Thanks, Bob.
Super Arbeit. Sehr detailverliebt, so gefällt mir das. 👍
Danke, Marc!
Great video as always...
Waiting for the next one!
Thank you Pantelis. I decided today that it’s going to be about an awfully boring topic. Can you guess what it is?
Brilliant overview of the process
Thanks!
Excellent as usual !
Thanks, John!
Fantastic video, Thankyou!
Thank you, Douglas. Glad you like it!
New favorite channel!
Thanks, mate.
And don’t forget to recommend it to your hair dresser!
Enjoy all of your content! Thank you ever so much! My '71 911 is being returned to me from the LeMay Museum, in Tacoma, WA. Been there since last Feb for the 75th Celebration of Porsche. Complete restoration of the brakes is top on the list when I have it back in my shop. By the way, I'm the second owner of this car.
Thanks for commenting, mate.
It’s cool your babe became a museum piece temporarily.
Nice work 🙌
Thanks, Gary!
Looks fantastic and good work! I am sure that Ferdinand would be proud!! Keep up the good work,
Thanks, Ole. Ferdinand looks down on her ... 😇
Love the videos. I've got a 1987 3.2 Carrera and next winter I plan to tackle a few of the jobs you've shown on your channel as I need to do wheel bearings, brakes, and some misc. to get it A1. Keep em coming!
Thanks, Kenneth.
All the best for your project! What colour combo is yours?
Black exterior with champagne leather interior. I had a new black dash fitted as well as new leather seats this past winter for a nice refresh on the interior.
great instruction video now I need to do the same thing to my 911. Keep up the great videos.
Thanks, Marion. It’s very satisfying to have it done, go for it.
Hallo ein schönes Video und wie immer super Arbeit 👍👍👍Dankeschön für die Einblicke und Informationen. Mit freundlichen Grüßen aus dem Ruhrgebiet 👋👋👋Kai
Danke, Kai!
Another great vid prof.
Waited for you already. 😃
@@GreasyFingers Slacking I am afraid. Sorry :-)
Very nice work
Thanks, Paul!
Another quality Video.
Thanks you. Trying to do my best.
amazing video, very timely for me. Thank you
Thanks, Michael.
Changing brakes?
@@GreasyFingers yes, I’m changing brakes, suspension, everything.
@@michaelgideon6422 Very rewarding!
I found your channel on a recommendation from Jethro Bronner. And man ... this is gold and it will go far
Thank you, Alejandro.
I regularly exchange with Jethro and Geoffrey (Raising Junior). We’re on very good terms and I love their channels.
Thats how I first found the channel as well, this and M539 Restorations are two of my favourites at the moment, who knew German guys tinkering with cars would be such an enjoyable watch. 😀
Fantastic video!! I have a 1980 911sc that I am disassembling now.
Thanks, mate & good luck with your project.
Great video - thanks for sharing your knowledge. I’m currently doing this job on my own ‘87 but also found that the rear wheel bearings and one driveshaft were shot so that job comes first. Great idea to assemble the handbrake assembly off the car - I hadn’t thought of that and it will make it much easier
Thanks for the feedback, mate. Don’t hesitate to share the channel with your friends.
What colour is yours?
Mine’s a backdate hot rod - currently slate grey
Excellent work again. You'll need to do the front ones now... 😃
Already at it. ☺️
Thanks for the shout out on your video. Only one thing to do, post your new one on Pelican Parts again! Keep going. I'm watching tons of other channels as I complete my restoration. Your videos stand out from the rest.
Thanks a ton again, Rodney.
☺️
Beautifully done video. You sound exactly like the director Werner Herzog. Keep up the wonderful work!
Thanks for the feedback.
You’re not the first one to say that.
The more I listen to Werner, I gotta tell you, the cooler I find this.
@@GreasyFingersFound the link to your videos on the Pelican Parts website for Porsche. I will keep your good advice in mind when working on my '88 Carrera. Have a good weekend!
Schön anzusehen wenn alles neu ist 😃ich hätt aber an manchen auflagestellen ein wenig Kupferpaste aufgetragen! Dann wäre es auch länger gängig geblieben 😉Grüße aus dem Rheinland von nem alten KFZ-MECHANIKER ! Hat mir auch immer geholfen 👍👍👍
Danke für den Tipp, Christian!
Another masterclass. Even my hair stylist loved it and she’s not as keen on brakes as I am.
Thanks, James.
And no surprise: it was produced specifically for hair stylists.
Right at the end… the comment about the lower caliper bolt and no way to torque it!!! That’s the exact reason why I watched this video lol. I just got my calipers off last night! Oh boy are my pistons stuck something bad, looks like it’s torch time lol
Glad to hear that anyone endured the film to that point without falling asleep. 😆
Great video yet again as I'm about to fix the handbrake on my Alfa junior. "Prig", I actually had to Google that one 😁
Good luck, mate. The design of both handbrakes is astonishingly similar.
I find grabbing springs with wire cutters good. You dont sqeeze hard enough to cut them but they grip really good.
Thanks for the tip, Jeremy!
Oh the satisfying clicking of the handbrake...
Yeah, it is. Could do it 24/7
@2:00 you can screw in some 8mm bolts in the spare holes in the disc to prise the disc off the hub... no need for hammers.
Thanks for the tip!
Great stuff. Thank you very much. Curious on a couple of ATE related points: Was plating the norm for the OEM install for all ATE or just Porsche? At some point I'll be rebuilding my ATEs on my Alfas. I've rebuilt calipers in the past on Dunlops. I'm expecting similar technology. Second point, does your plater block off the piston bore before plating? Third-I ran into your channel years back researching plating and I thought you did wonderful work-a real standard for a home garage DIY to aim for. That being said, why did you send out the calipers for plating? Spring greetings from Austin Texas
I don’t know the answers, Steve. But I’m interested myself, maybe some other viewer to comment ...
Regarding DIY plating: it’s a different challenge to do screws and stuff or a calliper. I’ve always been serious about brakes.
I have the same brake caliper on my 1974 Alfa Romeo they are great brakes, the biggest problem is having the hard pipe in stead of a flexible house is every time you have to take them off you have to find something to block the pipe to stop the fluid from leaking and having to bleed the system after would.
Hell, I know what you mean.
Especially as I had a brake problem last year which made me remove the callipers 5 times or so.
Any thought to cerakote clear, the plating as eventually it will wear off again? Amazing work and nice to see a fellow detail oriented 86 911 owner. This is my winter project.
Thanks, mate.
I have never heard about this. What is it? If it helps me to keep her nice and neat, I’m definitely interested ...
I sent you a dm on Instagram.
my hairstylist loved this video.
😆😆
The man with the golden calipers! May I ask what you had to spend to get them re-built to such a high standard? Great video, thanks!
😆😆
About 100 per corner.
Wow! Das finde großartig, sowohl vom Preis als auch vom Ergebnis her. Darf ich wissen, wer das gemacht hat, stehe bei meinem 1987 Coupé bei der gleichen Herausforderung! Übrigens grundsätzlich ein ganz herzliches Dankeschön für die Videos haben mir bei vielen Teilen sehr geholfen!! 😊 Liebe Grūße Fritz
Great video and great music too. Who is it?
Thanks, Mike.
The track was taken from CZcams‘s free music library for creators. It’s name is Warm Water, the artist is named Underbelly.
Enjoy spur low key videos - I recently refurbished all 4 brakes on my 74 911, wish I had seen your video to show me the way as I struggled a little. Popping the pistons out is definitely a dangerous operation. Reinserting the pistons is a little tricky, getting the correct angle and the right grease is important, wonder what your guy used?
Thanks, Joe!
74 means 2.7, does it? What colour?
I really don’t know how he’s doing it. You send the old ones, you get new ones, that’s all.
@@GreasyFingers It is a '74 Carrera, Gulf Blue with the US 2.7 ltr. with CIS. Unfortunately not a MFI version but still very lively and fun to drive. I have owned it for 35 years and since retiring I am now able to get it back in order. It sat idle for ~10 years and of course needed some love, including brakes and a new gas tan, to be roadworthy again. Your videos have been a big help, please continue!!
That’s a gem!
Thank you for recognizing Rodney Nelson on Pelican Parts. We are all much luckier for his discovery of your fantastic videos.
That is extremely good to hear.
Beautiful work. I'm doing this job myself but while disassembling one of the calipers, one of the rusty bolt heads didn't hold up and now I'm desperate trying to find these one-off bolts. Can you help me?
Thanks!
Don’t know what bolts you mean …
@@GreasyFingers The 4 bolts that hold the caliper together.
When installing the handbrake assembly, should the cables be first loose, then adjusted
I wish you a lot of fun with my films!
Having s break watching you replacing the brakes testing myself if can remember part numbers 🤣
Let’s do a quiz: I’ve just ordered two times 90016600201 to put it in the trunk because they tend to break. What is it? No googling! 😀
@@GreasyFingers end of the clutch cable ,sold many of them ,I'm watching the front brakes now 🤗
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
@@GreasyFingers hi any new videos on your red Carrera
Den 20 Grad Winkel für die Position der Bremskolben hättest noch erwähnen können. Ist bei den ATE Sätteln Markenübergreifend zu erwähnen.
Looking for your advice Johannes - I notice when you insert the new brake pads into caliper @ 12:25, you do not apply any brake anti-squeak grease or anti-seize lubricant to the back and perimeter of the pads. Is the grease/lubricant not needed in these cars? I am currently doing this project in my 83 SC, getting ready to insert new pads. Thanks!
Hey mate.
Yes please use some grease there.
I think I did as well, but not everything that I do makes it in the films .
@@GreasyFingers thanks for the reply. I will use copper based anti-seize lubricant.
Wirklich sehr schön gemacht. Gefällt mir sehr. Wer hat die Sättel chromatiert? Grüße aus Lüneburg, Jan
Danke, Jan.
Schreib mir bitte eine e-Mail, Du findest meine Adresse in der About Section meines Kanals.
Really good detailed video, thank you.
Thanks, Charlie, you’re welcome.
Hallo, gibt es einen Grund warum Sie (du) die normalen Scheiben und nicht die gelochten genommen hast ? und ich würde mich über die Installation der Bremsschläuche und die Entlüftung des Systems freuen. Liebe Grüße aus dem Rheinland
Hi Andreas. Gerne „Du“, wenn’s Dir nichts ausmacht.
Ich bin nicht sattelfest in der Frage, aber ich meinte immer, die gelochten gehören zum Turbo.
Ich habe die nicht gelochten genommen, weil sie laut Porsche Teileliste die richtigen für den Carrera sind.
Ahhh, vergessen zu sagen: ja, ein Video über Bremsentlüftung / Bremsflüssigkeitswechsel / Bremsleitungen kommt.
Who did the caliper plating and assembly please ?
Hey!
I usually don’t name suppliers publicly, but please feel free to drop me an e-mail, my address can be found in the “About” section.
No grease on any of it?
Only on the fingers. ☺️
Wer hat die Bremssättel überholt?
Lg, Manuel
Hallo Manuel. Kontaktiere mich bitte per Mail, die Adresse findest Du in der „About“-Section vom Kanal.
Und wo ist die Königswellenschraube?
^ This by the way is the guy who taught me how to adjust the hand brake.
Same Ate calipers as the Alfa Romeo Giulia?
Giulia not sure, they look smaller to me. GT probably yes for older models of the 911.
@@GreasyFingers Thanks Greasy . I believe that there is a spacer between the shells of the caliper to allow for the vented disc. I fitted uprights from a 2.0 litre Alfa spider to my GT junior to make use of the larger brake calipers.
“Can an honest person accept it looking shabby?” No sir an honest person can not 😀
All crooks who have shabby brakes. 😆
Hallo, super Video! Leider finde ich nirgends deine Emailadresse…ich müsste meine auch überholen lassen und würde mich für deinen Lieferanten interessieren. Danke! Gruß Alex
Danke, Jan.

Going to be too shiny to take back on the road soon.....
Well, you see. I like driving just as much as I like restoring, so I guess I gotta be coldhearted.
