rwdrev Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 (edited) so whilst the car was sat for about a year with no engine the rear calipers had seized and was not upto much when on the brake tes (JUST scraped thru) so i bought another set of calipers and thought i would have a go rebuilding them, so this is what i ended up with, so the right is how they both looked and the left is bare metaled after a paint its ready for re-assembly 35mins later we have new seal and pistons fitted got 1 handbrake bracket to clean,paint and fit then i can get them fitted to the car. was thinking of doing some more if anyone was needing some rebuilt?!?

Flaminsam Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 Did you find it a pain putting the dog bone part back in with the automatic adjuster? The circlip at the bottom can also be a bit fiddly. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Phil Cheers Phil. i thought it wouldnt be hard to do and was fed up of sorting scruffy old ones so i took the plunge and had a go. Did you find it a pain putting the dog bone part back in with the automatic adjuster? The circlip at the bottom can also be a bit fiddly. yeah, that was the most fustrating part, got it in the end tho How much you charging mate? Can't be asked to do mine haha not sure yet, i was thinking £40 to strip,rebuild and paint them plus parts on top, also either your calipers or a surcharge +p&p i got my parts from camskill and they were all genuine parts. only thing i havnt replaced yet is the bleed nipples, because i ordered the covers instead, but can someone confirm what bleed nipples fit? Camskill only have them mr2 1's on there site, but i imadgine there all the same?!?! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rwdrev Posted April 29, 2014 Author Share Posted April 29, 2014 fitted 1 of them tonight, and apart from needing a new bleed nipple its working sweet as a nut!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
