Guys I need help. I took the front left caliper off about a week ago to loosen it up as it was sticking, replaced pads. Drove the car it still got hot so the caliper is sticking. Rebuild kits arrived for all four corners. took same caliper off, pads out. Now what? if any one can give me or direct me to, a step by step way of re doing this I would really be grateful. Assume Im a "special needs" brake mechanic. I have always had some concern about brakes cause it has to be done right. I keep staring at the caliper thinking this cant be that tough have one side piston secured with a C clamp and block. Thats as far as Ive gotten. Thinking I may be in too deep and am considering taking them to a shop and having them to the re build with the fresh parts.

I tried some heat tonight. I got the inners pushed most of the way out on the rear, but I'll have to give the e-brake arm a try.
I'll try tapping on the outters for the rear. I had it pushed out, but it wasn't going anywhere. I guess I didnt' see that it should be tapped in and done over again. I'll also give the grease gun a shot tomorrow. I figured I couldn't be the first person that couldn't get the pistons out that easy, but it seems like most of the people I read about just have them slide right out. Thanks for the help |
