Axis Brake Guide bushings DIY

[moranor@axis]

This is the Install procedure for Axis Brake Guide Bushings. These promote more even pad wear and consistent Brake feel by not letting the guide bush flex allowing your brakes to squeeze evenly similar to multi piston BBK kits

Step 1 remove Caliper same as per Brake pad change plenty DIYs out there so best you find one for your car after that they pretty much all the same

tools needed for Axis guide bush install are:
Pliers
outside cir-clip pliers
19mm socket
4" or larger G clamp
Copper Grease

Next pull out the nasty squishy rubber guides

If the stuck you can even cut them as you dont need them anymore :cartel:

Wire brush or sand the bore if there is any corrosion

Axis bushing goes in with the flange facing the Piston side of the caliper you can Grease this if you like but it is not needed with clean bores

the 19mm socket is used as a pocket to allow the Axis guide bush to seat properly

Press in until the flange rests on the caliper housing

then it is circlip time :rollsmile: wear safety goggles

all done nice and Shiny

Grease the Guide pins well with Copper Slip this should be re-greased at every Pad change to keep everything smooth

ugh I recognize that Caliper !!

Nicely done Sean - one suggestion include an extra cir-clip or two per set in case we loose one. Get this wrong and these things can fly miles, not to mention the way my garage "eats" sundries.

My EFT is en route.

good idea on the cir-clip will to that
