Title says it.
Look this is NOT for my 914, but it is for a Porsche. Mod may feel free tp move this topic, but I need help fast! Car (911) has been parked for 4 years indoors. Front pads seem to be frozen to the discs. Don't think it's a caliper problem because they are almost new. Just seems to be an inactivity thing. Rears spin freely. I jacked the car up to make certain the rears were free - they are. Placed a 1X4 through the cookie cutters onto the discs. Pounded on it with a rubber mallet. No effect. Truck's coming for this car (sold). Suggestions? Thanx, Pat |

Hit them with a big hammer... the car is sold so, it will be the new owners problem! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/w00t.gif)
(sorry Ferg) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/hide.gif) Seriously, rock it, or pull the springs off the top of the caliper and get a BF screwdriver in there. The new owner will probably want new pads etc. if those are in that condition so... no great loss. Just get them free so you can stick it on the truck. |
