Some one come out here and kick me square in the ass!!

Well, I made me a new sausage for my molested rear calipers, got one side all together and installed [hand/wire brushed scrubbed with solvent, soaked in Ospho until all rust was gone, rinsed, dried, POR coated, and readed for Eastwood's three step faux anodizing paint......about 6hrs. of shit ....

..... and another caliper done up to the point of final paint, and had to stop.............can you guess why?

Is there supposed to be a caliper in that second pic? All I see are fuzzy spots. Or maybe that's what's wrong.

good guess Mark!


Luckily I was so pissed that I took 10 more pics of them........this time I remembered the "macro" button

This was the last set of calipers (out of 8) that I had to do.......pretty well of messing with calipers!

Oh, the light areas are just the light glistening off of the freshly applied POR 15

I need another clue...

Clue:

I had a spare pair of rear calipers that came with the car.

not sure i can tell from the pix, but a likely FU would be they are the same side

on second glance, they look opposite sides...

OK, another clue?

If it were me I wouldn't have painted the parking brake actuator. Specially with POR-15.

1.) Handbrake actuator lever is in the wrong position.

2.) You need to plug them into the wall since they are electric

Ding...ding....ding....We have a winner!!!!

Somehow in the process of choosing which calipers would be best for "overhauling", I completely neglected to make sure I got one l/h and one r/h......
And actually got all of the way to the point of "admiring my handywork" and comparing them to the finished pair already mounted on the car behind me......... .... ..... .........


(No worries about POR in the P-brake actuation lever......injected (syringe) a wee amount of white grease around the base to keep the POR out)

BTW, cool avatar. Now I'm humming "In the Court of the Crimson King"...
