Hey guys, I took my car to a local shop for a brake job. I got all the parts from PMB and I am extremely happy with everything I ordered and received. He said the calipers were "probably good." The shop just called and said the front brakes were difficult but were done perfectly in the end. The rears, not so much. The rear calipers are bad. Now I need calipers FAST as it is taking up a stall at the shop. PMB is closed but from what I can tell they want your old calibers and they will rebuild them but there is a 10 day to week turnaround. Any suggestions?

Was down at PMB last week talking to Eric. Sounds like he has been having issues getting people to return rear cores so don't be surprised if they don't have any to ship on exchange, but call them and see, he might.
I have to ask though, is this local shop you took your car to familiar with how 914 rear brakes are adjusted? Really easy to think they are broken if you are not familiar with them as they are sort of an odd design. Also, if they arnt leaking or binding against the rotors you could just re-install them and have a derivable car until you source your replacements. Non functional rear brakes is pretty common in 914s. |
