After sitting for quite some time, they are fully bound up. I had to pound them off the rotors (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smash.gif) What's the deal? I just need them to work for a day. Also, I need to say this out loud, I don't care for the rear calipers at all. KT |

My Hondas sized up too after sitting for a year. Probably rusty pistons.
Several threads on rebulds here. Not difficult Although u might not like these they've been stopping 100,00's of sports cars for 45 years. Give 'em a little respect. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) Some mechanical person will come by soon with stuck piston remedies. |

late 90's vw Passat rear caliper.
yours may have frozen up due to water and pitting of the pistons. remove the pistons, clean with super fine sand paper...re-assemble. look at the vw calipers, they may easily fit, and have an ebrake. rich |

Thanks for the idea with the VW caliper.
I'll look into that immediately. I'll likely bolt on a pair of my 88 VW Fox front calipers for this Saturday only. I already drilled out the mounting bolt holes. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i944.photobucket.com-1413-1352514668.1.jpg) KT |
