Everyone should rebuild their brakes if they are the originals.
Both rear calipers were leaking so I decided to completely strip down all the brakes and rebuild them from scratch. It is astonishing that any of them worked at all. There was rust and gunk all over them. Picture shows rust around the piston. I had to blow them out with compressed air which was fun. Goes off like a gun when the finally come out. Anyway, I will bead blast and re plate the halves and clean everything up then post some pictures of them rebuilt. |
