refurbing rear brake calipers
#17
Did these the on mine the end of summer like people have said can be a pain. mainly compressing the washers to allow the removal of the shimes inside. Which allows the piston to be released. Would also check the slides/ carriers as if the seals have gone on there the pit really bad and may need just a clean or replaced. Recommend getting some castor grease and applying it to the piston before you slide it is back together and put some on the carriers as well and once back together get some moly grease (cv grease) and pack the main cover full of it will stop any water getting in. O and dont for get to check the hand brake pin for wear. It is one of the main things to cause handbrake fail as it wears and does not apply full pressure on it.
