traff Posted June 8, 2011 Report Posted June 8, 2011 hi all ,was just wondering if anybody has had any luck stripping down and overhalling a rear brake caliper? the reason i ask is can the handbrake part be removed and greased to stop it from siezing????.front calipers are a walk in the park,but whats inside the rear,s Quote
seatkid Posted June 8, 2011 Report Posted June 8, 2011 I have seen photos of a caliper stripped down on a german website and it clearly shows the heavily rusted and corroded adjustment mechanism buried inside that causes all the problems. For what its worth, brand new calipers can be had for as little as Quote
