How to rebuild a brake caliper 

As always, very simply presented and well filmed. I really enjoy the modular style with which you have constructed these videos, so that each builds on previous ones, and so someone can be pointed to the various basic how-to videos to tackle larger projects. Again, very well done!

Another fantastic video. Incredibly clear and incredibly concise, that's not an easy trick to pull off, well done.

Thank you for sharing Design911. Porsche does not sell inner and outer caliper seals in the US. I got them through Design911! Super!🙏

EPIC VIDEO. Liked and Subscribed 👍 Thanks so much for the awesome work. This is how all how-to videos should be. Right now to check out your brake bleeding video....

this was a strangely relaxing video to watch

fantastic guide as always

I think that you picked up on some really good points. re grease the rubber and caliper with brake grease. lots use brake fluid and that's not correct. also put a rubber washer around the bolt head to help seal the brake hose. paper may get in the system. great video, one of the best, thank you.

Good job! Thank you for a great video.

I also track my car, a Cayman, and rebuild my calipers every 2 years. If you are going to be doing this on a regular basis, I would highly recommend installing caliper studs, rather than replacing the bolts. I had an issue a few years ago where the threads pulled out on one of the bolts holes on the hub. This was due to the wear from repeated disassembly of this interface. Using caliper studs eliminates this concern. These are available for a couple of different suppliers, I think I used the ones from Girodisc, but I believe Tarett also makes them. Great video btw

Nice job n video. Thank u

Very good video! Nicely done 👍 Cheers 🥂

Very good video, well done!

Awesome thank you ! vary informative .

Thanks for the video. This helps me for my Boxster non s calipers I stuck on my MR2!

Helpful, thank you.

Good vid! I am doing my calipers in just a bit. This was very helpful. I would just mention that when placing on the new dust seals be sure they seat properly. Suggestion: Could your title include that your rebuilding a rear 4 piston Porsche caliper? It was shear luck I view your vid. Thank you. And Well Done....👍

what is the difference between a 4 piston brembo and no brand 4 piston with the same diameter?

I like to.put the positions in the freezer for a couple hours, then coat with brake fuold, and slip them back in Just putting the positions in the freezer will help alot

Good video, keep em coming. Can I put the red "S" calipers on my base 987 Boxster. I know they use the same rear brake pad part number. My base model's black calipers color is faded and I don't want to paint them. Would love to just get a set of red "S" calipers and bolt them on. From what I've found online, which isn't much, is that the rears are the same on the base and the S, but the fronts MIGHT be different as the fronts use a larger diameter brake rotor. Well I need to replace my brake rotors too so could I just upgrade to the larger "S" rotors as well ?

Very useful video! I'm about to do this myself for a set of 996 callipers. Where did you get your rebuild kit? Thanks!

Tearing down my 986 non-S Brembos currently. Well, trying to at least! Having issues getting the dust seals off. You definitely made it look easy here, but mine are just wanting to tear, not come out. Before I go and mess up a pair of nice calipers, can you give me any direction? That would be greatly appreciated

Do you happen to know if a 05 911 has the same calipers¿ I’ll be powder coating a set a will use this as a reference

Just finished rebuilding one caliper and I'm not even going to attempt the second one. What a nightmare!

Hi can you pls make a video when you shane the exhaust of your car?

Would it not be easier to put the seals on the pistons before installing the pistons 🤔

Anyone else nick their piston lip where the seal goes with their screw driver and wondering if they can send it?

Refurbishing my front brembo calipers , a question I need you guys to answer is should the piston seals be dead square or slightly cerved ???

Hey Buddy Where do I and how do I check what rebuild kit I need ?

What website are you finding the parts at?

Use these to plug steel brake lines, need to check thread size & pitch; they are superb!!. www.automec.co.uk/products/brass-brake-pipe-fitting-female-m10-x-1mm-blanking-plug

Why oh why oh why would you go to all that effort and not clean the caliper properly???? I've just taken mine off purely to clean them up!!

If you're just driving around on a track at a reasonable pace there's no difference than using the thing on the road. If you're getting a lot of fade just use harder pads. No point. Also its 'Porsche' not 'Porsch'. You pronounce the 'e'. Good luck with it.

“Cleaning” a brake caliper with brake fluid? LOL That’s the worst thing for paint.

Bro, your cleaning skills are not the best.
