Re: '96 SET Rear Brake Caliper Posted by Peter [Email] ![]() ![]() ![]() In Reply to: Re: '96 SET Rear Brake Caliper, Dean, Sun, 9 Jan 2005 15:27:06 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
Yes, I knew the caliper was bad before I removed it, and I had a new one ready. After reading some of your drs underscore posts, and your reply to my earlier post, I decided to replace one caliper and not both. Depending on what I found, try to clean up the other rear caliper which still works but looks very rusty and just replace the pins and clip/spring.
As it turns out, since I have never done brakes on this car (more comfortable working under the hood), I am not sure what I DID find, except a rusted caliper, and ok brake lines. Almost looks like one pad was working, one not.
I bought the following:
- one remanufactured caliper, now on the car with the pads it came with
- a kit with pins and clips for the rear brakes
- a set of Pagid pads I plan to swap in when the rust on the rotor is gone
I did not measure the rotors (not sure what the spec is), but was told they had plenty of life left about 5 k miles ago.
