Hey all,
Getting ready to put my A type calipers back together. Got a couple of questions. 1) Is this the correct orientation of the dust seal (see seal on right)? 2) Is the retaining ring in the right place and does it matter where the two ends are (blue arrow) and should there be a small (1/8") gap? 3) What is the suggested orientation of the notch in the piston (green circle)? ![]() |

OK... here's the piston orientation breakdown:
This picture shows the drivers side inner caliper 1/2. The rotor will be traveling in the direction of the arrow. Position it as such but, make sure it's the drivers side caliper 1/2. The bleeder will be at the top: ![]() Here's the passengers side: ![]() Understand this principle and apply it to the outer 1/2's. Then make sure you mate the proper pairs together. I see another potential problem. Nice red paint (poser) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) In all seriousness, The area where the pads sit; it looks as though you guys did a great job cleaning these up and blasting them. Is that area protected? If that is simply bare metal then it will rust overnight. This is where your pads will sit. They will eventually rust in place, stick and squeal. That area needs to "really" be protected if it's not. I say really because it can get hot in there. Paint will flake etc... |
