Thank you for the comments saying I need to put copper grease on the pads. I totally forgot! And yes, I cleaned the rotors before mounting them :)
All threads & hub plate too. Just a bit.
@@yfyfytcyfyc9132 Hub plate no. Not needed. If you really want to then use a tiny bit of oil. For threads medium threadlocker.
I’ve stopped using it full stop, horrible stuff. The only acceptable place to use it would be on the “ears” of the pads, even then there is special brake grease to use instead. Cars come from the factory with no grease on the pads and if you ever read the instructions with pads it says don’t use grease or only use special brake grease.
@@thisispointless29 ATE Plastilube, TEXTAR Ceratec etc
About brake pads I am using, I noticed that they are less squeeky, but on other hand the fix with grinding a little bit of edge od brake pad also works as well.
@@thisispointless29 Copper isnt good on modern cars because in interfears with the ABS system. Other good stuff is Ceramic paste on the Back of the pad and nothing on the ears.
Quick tips for those who want to do the same: if you have Abs, try to not empty the system, if you don't have an eezybleed or something to pressurize the system. It sometimes can be a pain if the abs module gets air. Otherwise when bleeding with the pedal, try to not go all the way down with the pedal. Crap in the master cylinder could damage the seals.
And for the rear disc brakes with the baby drums for handbrake. Don't forget to release the tension at the cables on the lever itself before adjusting the shoes. I adjust mines until they rub just a little bit, and then I tighten the 2 nuts inside. Degrease new rotors, copper grease on the sliding contact points but don't put the entire tube on. Just a tiny bit is enough. Cheers
you gave me the strength to start my projekt again after the winter.
But remember - if you miss the first day after the winter, all of the work is pointless. You have to wait until next year.
Let's be professional and stick to the ultimate guide to procrastination.

The girlfriend and the brake pedal is always the most important part of brake work!
What
@@DowntimeMedia That you need a second person to help you with this.
blindhead69 thank you
I tried this method but was only able to get half the job done, my wife was not too happy when she saw my girlfriend helping me. (😵)
you forgot to lube the pistons and seals just remember to do that next time otherwise a really nice restoration
That isnt really necessary. While bleeding (and using) the breaks they get surrounded with brake fluid anyway.
@@johanneseder27 yeah but when you lubricate piston and seal before hand piston will just slide in by fingers without any force, which lessons probability of tearing a new seal
@@fila1445 Yes, that makes sense. Thanks for informing.
And brake grease will prevent rusting/stucking, brake fluid wont. It’s good to have a good amount of brake grease/silicone grease under the dust rubber.
@@ToyotaLandCruiser Ate Bremszylinder paste is very good for this job.
This is honestly top-teir automotive CZcams content, I enjoy watching your videos so much more than all the big channels like Hoonigan or Boosted Boys. I appreciate the level of work that goes into each video you do, the passion, and the degree of quality that you have to ensure everything is done right. The amount of work that goes into capturing it all on film professionally and cleanly is extensive and I appreciate that from such a small channel like yours. Keep it up Memphis. This is truly underappreciated work.
Kind words 👏🏻 thank you
Very nice work! You have inspired me to do my e28 brakes. They look about the same as yours did before.
Caption if your brakes didn’t work while driving into your house
Kitchen: “Hi mom!”
Thibault Bulinckx lol
hey man! always remember to clean the disks before installing, they have a slight bit of oil(prevents rust)that may be bad for the brake pads
not in every case. sometimes (like his ones) they have like a thin coat of protection paint on, which removes itself while the first brakings.
I wish I had your tool shed! Car is looking great!
Nothing beats an old bmw E28!!!😃🙏🙌
Memphis on Tinder in preparation for this video "Just looking for a lady friend to brush all the hard to reach areas. hmu" 😏😏😏
Awesome video as always 👍
Probably should have mentioned the importance of fully flushing the whole brake system because of the dirty and super old fluid in the reservoir and lines themselves, Not just checking for air bubbles, but also the color of the brake fluid until you can see the new fluid coming out at the bleed line. Hope You did that.
Giving the brakes the best chance not to boil them if You ever take this thing to Nürburgring 😃
Always use ceramic or copper paste when you mount the brake pads. Apply it on the glide path after you cleaned these with a file. Otherwise your brakepads will rust and get stucked quickly. Dont assemble the brake cylinder dry, wetten the brake cylinder and the sealing with some brake fluid so you wont damage the sealing.
When I did the big brake upgrade on my E28 the set of used calipers I bought looked rusty just like the ones in the video. Rather than grinding and scrubbing off all the rust I put them in a couple gallons of vinegar for a couple days. Incredibly, they came out looking nearly brand new.
I’m also afraid about doing brakes... nice job!! Mmm maybe you can respray the door during this lockdown!
See you!
Nice work my friend ! After the lockdown, we should take the golf's out for a spin. Keep up the good work !!
Awesome job! I hope you cleaned both sides of the rotors before assembly. That is typically required as they often apply a layer of oil during manufacturing to prevent rust.
i feel your pain working on rusty cars. just rebuilt my whole rear subframe and almost every bolt stripped or almost didn‘t exist anymore..
Memphis great job!
But I have some tips for you.
1. Regrease the pins that caliper is moving on it. They need to move in rubber boot freely.
2. I'm not sure that you can take together piston and brake caliper without any lubrication. Should be assembled with e.g. brake oil as minimum.
This two tips prevent from bending the disc, which usually is caused by stuck calipers or cylinders in brake.
I've got many problems with brakes in my e39 so please not ask me how I learned this tricks :D
Special silicone grease on the sliding pins.
you mounted front tires wrong...
edit: always clean brake discs with brake cleaner before mounting them
marin marusic correct,tires mounted wrong.
Depends on the discs.... I've had some that specifically say to not clean them
@@bmwe61530d whats wrong?
@@rendog311rendog2 they where wrong in the begining he swapt them over when fitting it back 2:58
You can see direction of the tread. Fitted like this pushing water from outside of the tyre to inside.
Egon1982 ah okay thanks
Sorry for the grief before, but you inspired me bro
Great work dude and very professional. Almost no mistake
This video was so satisfying to watch, a brilliant way to spend lockdown 👌
Next time you can apply some pad glue on the backs of the pads, helps cut out squealing. Also, dont forget to bed in the pads before you drive it much further. Methods vary on this but most involve a empty road etc. Nice job.
Looks so freaking AWESOME! Makes me inspired to work on my project, just need to get the cash going... ahh good old projects! Keep it up, love the work!!!
Your films are great, thanks to how you show everything how to do, we can try to make ourselves and not give to the workshop, very helpful films :) Congratulations Bmw and vw golf, both beautiful cars :) Greetings from Poland
You’re lucky your girlfriend helps you, mines not interested haha. She only likes the transformation haha
Another video that you knocked out of the park, Memphis. Well done. While you were doing the brakes would have been a good time to repack the wheel bearings, assuming they can be lubricated. Lucky you to have single piston floating calipers. Greta, like my Arthur, has 4 piston front calipers, 2 on each of the sides of the split system. I have heard the Volvo front brakes are either Gerling or Brembo. Some people say the one, some say the other. The last time my brakes were done it took 16 litres of brake fluid to flush the system.
Listen, you have to use bit special grease or DOT brake fluid for assembling pistons. Everytime
Really enjoying your videos at the moment, this one inspired me over lock-down to strip down the breaks, rebuild and paint them on my 2004 Mini. Keep up the good work!
Honestly keep up these videos man, just so relaxing watching them, perfect time as well due to the lock down gives us all something to watch and maybe do ourselves!
and anti-seize on the hold down screw which is LIGHTLY tightened
Baking painted parts in an oven nicely sets the paint.
I love your videos just because you always have your ride or die with you helping out. I like that!
great seeing you again! the car just looks better and better can't wait to see what you do next!! Stay safe out there!
Love the vids man, stay safe.
my friend, i would like to congratulate you on your work and creating content on youtube, i'm already your fan and i really like your channel, the way you do things is very similar to the way I do things on a daily basis, besides that i train my english a lot watching your videos, i'm brazilian, i leave here my regards signed Matheus is my name
The restoration of the E28 is finished ? Nooooo :((. I would like to see more content with E28 and I also want to congratulate you for doing this restoration job !
Congratulations, great job. Well done.
This series makes me miss my E28 so much. I love your videos, man. Keep up the content.
18:56 starts engine.
Captions: Music :D Very nice job otherwise, looking to see more content about E28 :)
this is what i need during this self quarantine :) sadly i finished all ur vids already :(
Once again , a great video. Greetings from Romania.
Memphis, again great job as always. 💪💪💪
13:09 You may wanna first moisten the seals with the brake slightly fluid before installing. To prevent rubber rubbing against a bare piston metal.
You're so lucky. My rotors on my 84' 633i were completely rust welded. Lots of penetrating oil and a hammer, plus a lot of swearing. :)
Haha, got my 528i for aprox 3 weeks now, and my girlfriends helps me a lot too :D
Pretty nice work kiddo... reminds me when I was your age!
Thanks Memphis another great, professional and entertaining video. These really help during this lockdown, thanks again!
you did a very good job restauring your callipers.a just want to give you an advice as i am an experienced mechanic.when taking off the callipers you firs slide the sliders and remove the caliper.the calliper mount will remain on the car and so are the brake pads.when installing you do it backwards.thanks.
Could have used rust kill befor paint to make sure rust is 100% gone and give paint some thing to bite to
Also use red rubber grease on the piston rebuilds ring as its brake fluid friendly as i notice you assy them dry ? Never use d 40 it drys out rubber
Nice job! The last time I rebuilt a brake caliper, I used brake cylinder paste from ATE (light blue 180g tube) on seals and piston, and everything went back together "like a glove". No need to use a clamp. I think you would like it :)
It's so hard sometimes working on cars but things like this when you do something right and you get that rush of accomplishment is worth every broken bolt and every spot of rust :)))
Looking a Great car now
I think your calibers are rusty after one winter. You should sandblast them or at least use some acid to get all the rust out. You don’t need 400 grit sandpaper, 120 would be fine enough, easier to get them cleaned. 2K caliber paint would be better idea too, apply with brush.
And you a lot of brake caliber grease while installation of the pistons and pins. It would prevent corrosion/stucking.
Anyways, it was nice to watch. Good filming.
Awesome job
At 19 years old, I has a 1986 525i SE from 1994 to 2001. I did all the work myself and it still nearly bankruped me. I shudder to imagine how it would be now.
Fantastic job 👍
Doing this with no labour:
1 disassemble just like you did.
2. Put parts in vinegar for 2days (35%) or longer if less concentrated.
3. Deacid in water sodamix to neutralise acid.
4. Paint and assemble.
Vinegar is the shit, man
Edit: only use plastic containers
Another way is to make your own electrolysis bath if you have a plastic container a battery charger, some wire/coathangar, a piece of steel and some baking soda.
Much easier than sanding all of it for hours if you dont have a compressor/sandgun
Jarsky Yes , indeed. I use both procedures. I find vinegar both cheapest and most time/ cost effective.
i was thinking about doing this and bought the paint, now i gotta get my butt in gear and get er done!!
perfect and clean job 👌
Pro tip for removing the pistons:
Keep an old rubber brake line around of which you cut one of the connecting points off.
That way, you can screw the brake line into your caliper to put your air gun in the rubber line.
Big benefit of that is safety, certainly when removing pistons from locked brakes: you can put the caliper upside down and put some weight on it.
I've seen these pistons flying hard and far, or even bouncing back towards myself.
Other than that, nice job, once again.
Great video man. It's fun watching someone else work on the e28s. I did the same job recently but found it was the perfect time for the e34 540i brake upgrade! made a huge difference. Maybe something for the future. Had a big difference in thickness and diameter all around as well as the noticeable change in brake bias.
Good work and transformation buddy...
Great job! In my opinion you should covered the piston with brake fluid before to introduce into the caliper.
Good Restoration Done 👍
and this is why i love bmw. 30 years old car and all bolts came off without problems
Complimenti Memphis! Ottimo lavoro👍👍👍👍👏👏👏
Awesome E28 ❤️ and good work 😎👍
Very good job
Nice job, great cars
Amazing turn around. Well done.
hi Memphis, always enjoy seeing your fix up. keep up the good work and looking forward to your next video
Nice job.
Great video, really enjoyed watching whilst having an egg and toast for my breakfast. The brakes look ace, top job.
Wow this channel is brilliant dude! You are just like me and I’m really inspired man, I am currently saving a Nissan S13 200sx
suspension has super rust on it . alot of work but you will be happy when it is all nise and clean
Good job!
Anti-seize on the hub helps with a future rotor removal.
Good job not painting them red. Sir, I believe you are a man of good taste.
now I know what ill be starting with this summer on my bmw e46!!!
Nice restoration man, but ALWAYS remeber to NOT wear gloves when using a wirewheel on the grinder, if the glove gets stuck on the wheel you could easily lose your fingers, stay safe !!
Just a tip, you should add silicon grease or something similar on the piston and the rubber rings in the caliper, they slide easier. Just make sure the "grease" you add works with Brake fluid. Keep up the videos. Your videos inspire me to work on my C124 Coupe during Lockdown ;D
I'm so glad I found this channel. Nice content! I love old beemers
Great work, love your videos.♥️
Nice car. Nice job.
Great job! 😎🇺🇸
Great job, like every time :D Cheers from Poland
good work
i love what you do
good luck
I really like your videos, and I’m always really excited when I see that you uploaded a new one. Good job!
Awesome video man, when putting in new brake pads always apply some grease to the tips that touch the calliper so they won't start making noise :)
That’s passion
Don’t forget to heat cycle them as well!
Hi from Malaysia! We all like Classic old car :)
Congrats man, you are awesome
Next time use ATE Plastilube, to slide your pistons in
Really enjoyed this project
cool project, respect from Russia. I recently pumped the brakes on my car)) Also because of covid-19 sitting at home
Awesome job,👍👍👍👍👍
Nice work! If you hold the brake pedal permanent (with a peace of wood for example) , the open brake lines stop leaking out ;-)
