Post 2010 L322 Rear Brake Overhaul

When you pull up in traffic and notice that smoke is pouring off the rear nearside wheel it's time for some work....! That's a problem with the S/C... 500+BHP and you just don't notice a sticking calliper....

Past experience tells me to just change the lot, so a trip to my favourite garage, a borrow of a lift, and the fun begins...

I decided to rebuild the callipers, new ones for the 2010 up L322 are £350 each, rebuilt, nearly £200 each....

The nearside was totally seized on but came off with just a little hammer work..! the offside looks like it had been partially seizing for some time... The offside calliper came apart fairly easily, an airline blew the piston out, no way was that happening to the nearside one, a club hammer and chisel was needed to get the piston out...

Nearside...

With both pistons out the bores looked fine

The pistons didn't look too bad either but apparently they can oval when they get very hot...

Everything else was stripped off and they were sent to the powder coaters to be finished in Dark Gunmetal, they were away for a couple of days and on return I rebuilt them with new seals and pistons along with a fitting kit.... Rebuilt and ready to fit with all new parts..

The new Brembo discs were already finished in what looks like powder coating... a very similar colour to the callipers.

The handbrake shoes are known to delaminate and jam the brakes up so it made good sense to replace them as well, they were fairly worn.

The back plates are also well known for rusting away so I wire brushed them and gave them a thin coat of Dinitrol ML to help them live a bit longer.. Fitted with new shoes and springs..

You can see where the offside calliper has been sticking in the past and allowing the disc to get like this...

Outside, all looks well...

Inside, rather poor.....

Then the fun bit begins, putting all the nice shiny bits back on....

Bedding in procedure.

What did it cost...

Calliper seals and pistons £30
Calliper and carrier sandblast and powdercoat £60
Brembo discs £102
Pajid pads £30
Pajid Handbrake shoes and fitting kit £38

So £260 in parts and about 6 hours over a couple of days... Less than the new price of one calliper...!!!

Should be sorted for a while now...

Edited for inclusion of bedding in procedure Pete

Thanks guys, yes, I was shocked at the price of the callipers but the rebuild kit was cheap enough, as I wasn't in a massive rush I got it from https://www.autodoc.co.uk/

Much cheaper than others but, although a UK site, the parts came from Germany so took over a week to arrive.

I'm a southerner but have lived in Yorkshire since the last century so I like a bargain.... Pete

Nice - well done. I have used autodoc and their sister sites before for my autobox filter and fluid - really cheap compared to UK sites if you don't mind the wait.

Nice to know they are till working OK wit Brexit

I too have bought parts from Autodoc, all parts purchased so far were of very good quality.
If it's not an emergency, I don't mind the wait, simply plan ahead

I’ve done exactly the same job over the last 2 evenings! What was going to be a brake pad change turned out the same as you….discs, handbrake shoes….callipers weren’t as bad as yours but I’ll be probably changing them in the next 12 months…..

Yes, the parts from Autodoc seemed good quality..

nambFFRR if you have the time, rebuild your own... saves a huge amount of money... Pete

That's a good price, still twice as much as doing it yourself though and the powder coat will last much longer than paint... Pete
