I took Valy's advice from my first thread and tore into these calipers.
I now completely agree that rebuilding the calipers is vital, and I'm going to do a complete job of it... but: i have used every tool i have, and made one. i STILL can't get this clip out: PMB pic here's mine:  unlike the images i've seen on pmb and others, i don't have the pilot holes, just the edge is showing. anyone have a method to remove this puppy? |
