1973 2.0 with dual bleaders, drivers side is leaking a very small amount off the spring/ebrake lever. I have wiped all surfaces and checked the top feeder and they all appear to be dry. I don't know these rear units very well but is there a seal in those ebrake/levers area?
Restoring the car so all calipers were re-built with standard kits. New brake lines, the works. Dave |

Yes, there is an o-ring seal where you see the leak but it is only accessible from inside the caliper. It's the most difficult seal to replace, after you COMPLETELY disassemble the caliper.
Reassembly of the "sombrero" on top of that seal is a real PITA so some times people just skip it and hope for best. Having said that, I rebuilt mine few years back and, except the finger twisting exercise at reassembly, everything else was easy. |
