If you have 35 minutes to kill... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
If you purchased one of our 914 U-DO-IT rear caliper kit, this is the video for you. It's also a great way for the DIY 914 mechanic to learn how to rebuild your 914 rear calipers the proper way. Some things to note: We made this video using tools you should have at your disposal. This will help you see how the end result can turn out. On our caliper restorations, every part gets re-plated with zinc dichromate just like the ATE factory did back in the 70's. For the purpose of this video, we used paint for the arm and spring so you can see how "your" results can turn out. The caliper at the end of the video is the caliper we built step by step in the video (yes, your calipers should look that good when you're done!!) If you have "any" questions while you're building your kit please feel free to call us at 855-STOP-101 (855-786-7101). We're always more than happy to help our customers achieve success! Here's a link to the kit if you are interested in having amazing calipers on your 914: http://www.pmbperformance.com/catalog/item...552/9621098.htm https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dm_DnizKOZM |

Yes, that's almost exactly how I ended up doing it after about two weeks of trial and error. I wish I had used the assembly lube. I coated the parts with brake fluid to help lube things.
Great video! |

That was very enjoyable. I will still sleep better, once my car is done and drivable, knowing Eric built my calipers. Thanks for the great work and commitment to keeping our cars on the road and stopping safely.
