REAR BRAKE CALIPER REBUILD SERVICE

A stock 914 brake system was state of the art for it's day and still to be revered today... if it's working properly. Are your rear calipers doing their job? Are they even working at all? When was the last time you set your venting clearance? Do you know if your pistons are frozen or not?

It seems as though these 30 plus year old 914?s are chewing up and spitting out their rear calipers at an alarming rate. Because of the unique integrated hand-brake assembly, the ATE 914 caliper is a tricky little animal to rebuild. There are springs and clips and little sausage shaped things in there. If fumbling around with this kind of stuff isn't your ?cup of tea? then I have something for you. I offer a caliper rebuild service. Here's what you get:

* Complete disassembly to bare core.
* Removal of stuck or frozen pistons.
* Replating of caliper cores.
* Replating of all fasteners
* Polishing of pistons.
* Cleaning and reconditioning piston tops with high-temp paint.
* New factory seals and dust covers throughout.
* New inner adjuster gear cover.
* Reassembly with pistons in proper position.

Pricing is $349.00 per pair ($174.50 each) plus core and shipping. We only sell these in pairs. These calipers carry an exclusive 10-YEAR WARRANTY **UPDATE** Shipping is now a flat $20.00 for Priority Mail to anywhere in the continental United States. For international orders you can still use the USPS link. Boxed weight is 16lbs.

cool Eric, I'll probably be sending you one (spare) set real soon... here's the deal that had me in a f'n panic (which I'm going to cross post over in the "garage" too):

I was trying to get my PB working today... but one of my calipers wasn't releasing at all... like the spring wasn't doing anything... I was very confused... so I pulled the caliper off, and still couldn't figure it out... finally my buddy said, "dude, what's supposed to be pushing against this spring... turns out the pin that the spring pulls against was SHEARED off even with the metal on the caliper.. I thought the caliper was a goner... I called 2 very knowledgeable local people, and they had never seen anything like it, and thought the pin would be too hard to drill out... since no one had a local set that was good, I posted here, and I decided to try anyway... the drill worked like a champ!! I pulled a pin out of on of my spare sets... and put the spring on right... the PB works like a champ now!!

I'll probably send you the 2-3 "spare parts" calipers to work your magic on, then send the 2 I'm actually using later.. so I can get it inspected soon... altough if you are turning them around THAT damn fast... you may beat me to it!! I'll let you know ASAP.
