I am in the process of getting everything together for the 5 lug conversion
on YellowDog and have some questions about the "M" calipers. It seems that the front end parts that I got for the conversion are from a 74-89 911. As far as I can tell the ball joint is the same for the 73 914 (YellowDog) as it is for the 74-89 911 so the struts should bolt right up. (Please corrected me if I am wrong, please!) I have identified all the seals and bearings for the 911 struts and need to re-build the "M" calipers that I have from the 911. I got them apart and all went well till I tried to get the pistons out. They are really stuck. I have no idea how long these brakes were off the road or where they have been stored. The calipers had brake fluid (of sorts) in them, but air would not move them and I soaked them with PB Blaster and have been able to get them to turn by tapping on the pistons but that's it. Any ideas on how to get them out? Next question is what kind of shape are the caliper bores likely to be in? (IMG:http://66.140.241.85/forum/photo_album/microsa/Move%20Over1.jpg) |
