The owner of this car wants the calipers powdercoated to match the interior. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif)
After splitting the rear calipers I fully disassembled everything and cleaned them, except for the parking brake arm and shaft which I don't know how to remove. It seems that there is a rubber seal or something in there that won't survive the heat but I can't figure out how to get it apart. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) Anyone have experience with this? The front M calipers have those thin machined pieces as well as the halves. I wonder if I should bolt them together with something thin in between the pieces. Any good ideas already in practice that someone knows about? |

I finished disassembling the rears today. There's a 25mm dia metal plug that has to be drilled out to get at the circlip holding the pivot shaft in its bore, and there is a rubber seal just under the actuating arm - as well as lots of grease in there.
Took everything to the powdercoating shop after lightly bolting the assemblies together. They are going to bake them, blast them, disassemble, mask and coat, then bake again. Price about $45 each. It's gonna cost the owner almost $1000 by the time they are back on the car. Nice to have customers that don't even blink at the cost of these "little" jobs. |
