I'm about to remove my rear calipers for Brad to rebuild (are you listening Brad?)
Question 1. How do you remove the parking brake cable? It does not seem under tension. Question 2. What is the best way to seal the brake lines to prevent draining the brake fluid? Brad, you will have the two 9146 calipers for rebuild early next week. Thanx. |

What is the best way to seal the brake lines to prevent draining the brake fluid? when i -re-installed my calipers, i drilled the little pins for a teeny cotter pin to make sure it never came out on its own. probably overkill but my pins are still in place... since you'll have to bleed everything afterwards anyway preventing drainage is a halfway measure at best. if you run the brake pedal to the floor, it will prevent the reservoir from draining through the MC. you can use something like a sharpened pencil (preferably, a #2 Ticonderoga...) to stick into the end of the hard line... |
