BUY MY SPARE KIDNEY!!! Group: Members Posts: 3,935 Joined: 29-August 04 From: Santa Ana, CA Member No.: 2,648 Region Association: Southern California |
I've had my first caliper death... or it is still slowly dieing...
Original calipers on the rear and the right rear is finally puddling everywhere. I can drive, but cautiously. Now i'm faced with buying a rear caliper, a pair of rear calipers... or rebuilding the blown caliper. Pelican Parts has a good how-to and also a rebuild kit available for $20. Has anyone rebuilt their calipers? how long does it take and how hard is it? I think if i follow the directions precisely i can rebuild it... problem is I dont have a lot of spare time on a weeknight to take it apart and spend a few hours rebuilding it... especially with the projected rain this week... All advice apprecieated (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) PS: Posted a 'want' ad in the fs/wanted forum. |
