Right rear brake looks to have locked up after a recent caliper rebuild (less than 50 miles). I followed a pelican article and loosened the hex by going clockwise...wouldn’t twist counter. Brake pads look like they are glued to the rotor though...if anyone is in Phoenix area, there’s a six pack for anyone wanting to come to the garage and help me get the car on the road.

I agree with Robert. If the pads do not slip in and out of the pad cavity easily, then essentially the pads are seized. The pad cavity needs to be cleaned and coated to prevent corrosion and this sort of problem. Just putting new seals in the piston bores is NOT a rebuild. If the external surfaces of the caliper have not been cleaned, then the internal surfaces are probably at least as bad. That will just lead to continuing problems.
PMB does a full restoration job including new plating. That's a ticket to ride. |

Thanks. Car is now at Exotic Motorwerks in Scottsdale. Hope they can give me an honest assessment of condition and what needs to be done to get it on the road.
