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. |

The pins are supposed to have a small clip on the bottom that seats in a groove in the pin.
To seal the brake lines I cut the ends off an old brake line and tig weld the opening at the back to create a plug that can be screwed into the end of the hose. Its easier to disconnect where the flex hose attaches to the steel line under the trailing arm. Then remove the steel line after taking the caliper off. |
