Brakes part 1

Ive been putting this off for sometime now and finally decided to bite the bullet and redo the brakes. The calipers on the car are from a 1990 928 S4. The S4 weighed about 800lbs more than the car does now, so when everything is said and done they should do a damn good job of stopping this thing. On a side note these are essentially the same brakes used on the Porsche 959

First the wheels had to come off



These were the only tools needed to remove all 4 brake calipers (except a 19mm wrench for the rears)




Next the stock clear coat had to be removed. I picked the most hardcore product I could find at the racing department of Home Depot. They called it Klean strip adhesive remover . I affectionately named it liquid fire, as it ate through my latex gloves in less than a minute and feels especially good when it soaks straight through the next pair you put on.

After the liquid fire had soaked in I power washed the excess away and repeated until there was almost none left. A few times over with a wire wheel and there ready for paint




After masking off the bleeder valves and holes it was time for paint. I decided to go for good old Porsche red instead of yellow. I used VHT caliper paint since their tail light tints worked well too. This is where I got hungry and decided to call it a day. Ill pick this up tomorrow or Friday and throw on the stainless braided brake lines and bleed the system...
See why I put this off for so long?
