(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smash.gif) or maybe a beer in which to drown my sorrows. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/beer3.gif) i greatly appreciate the input, help, encouragement, etc. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/pray.gif)

Hey Dan, thanks for the thought. Leaving at noon today, have passengers, probably wouldn't be good idea, they would be terrifically bored. I have heard very nice things about you from the local Portland contingent. Very much looking forward to meeting you. Another time........
Are you sure that is your best side? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/dry.gif) Gary |

Have a great trip, I love the drive up there! Yeah, looking forward to meeting more locals (NW teeners) soon. When the days get a little warmer, I plan on putting something fun together for us NW people. Actually I have been told the back of my head looks pretty good?

You guys know if the nut is off, the calaper is not threaded and the adjuster bolt can be pressed into the piston in an hydrolic press and just push out the piston and adjuster bolt together..... Bingo best idea!!! Or one could punch it out with hammer and punch. Then fix the threads on the adjuster.

Sure give it a try I do agree about the hammer. but I just had simular prob last weed when an factory rebilt calaper leaked on my car and it was the adj bolt has an Oring on it. It should not leak if the lock nut were loose. and it is a straight line bore for the hole of the adj bolt if you push it through the calaper housing it will push out the piston. You can at least turn the piston a little I hope it is not frozen solid. PB blaster is the best. If it wont push out Frozen solid try lightly tapping on the piston just to jar it loose.

Hey Eric! thanks for the interest. after awhile, i figure everyone had grown weary of my brake blues (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/headbang.gif) . but since you asked, here it is in a nutshell:
last saturday at Big Dan's Big Parts Party i got his rear calipers (for cheep; thanx again, Dan!) these got rebuilt on sunday. they came apart easily, went together easily, and the missing inside adjuster insert was easily replaced from my set! you, and others, led me to much needed understanding of how these contraptions work. this coming weekend comes the remounting, brake pads replacing, fluid replacing, bleed-a-thon! then, a drive!!!! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/driving.gif) all is well, so far. like i said, though, i figure everyone was tired of hearing about it. thanks again for all the help. wish i could afford to have you make 'em work and be pretty, but this is a budget project. i did have your pic of the shiny calipers as my background until these got rebuilt. inspiration! |
