I am trying to get my rear calipers rebuilt on my early 72. The prices are outrageous ($170 per caliper!) does anyone konw if any year rear caliper will work? I also have heard that front calipers will work on the rear (no e-brake though). does it have to be an early caliper or late?
I am in the middle of switching to five lug. Heres the situation: I have SC front struts/ brakes. I could remove the BMW 320 calpiers on the fronts now and put them on the rear. I would like to go stock in the rear but over $300 for calipers, thats crazy. How difficult is it to rebuild the rear calipers? Thanks All Mark |

I just finished rebuilding my rears....including the o-rings for the brake adjusters. Got my kits from Dave at GPR. They were not that expensive. You have to ask for not only the brake rebuild kit..but the o-rings also (sold them separate).
Hardest part of rebuilding the rings is getting the internal c-clip in out. First one I tried using the screwdrivers trick as outlined in the PP bulletin. Forget that it's frustrating as all get out. I went down and got a inner/outer c-clip tool and made the job alot easier. Brakes are like new now! It's not difficult, just time consuming. |
