DIY Rear brake & source for reman caliper in MTL ASAP Posted by Nicholas [Email] ![]() ![]() |
Did my rear brakes today to find what I had thought were rust bound pads on one side to be a siezed inboard caliper piston on drivers/rear.
Does anyone know a good local source for this part in the Montreal DT area. Best quote I could find was 175C$ + tax which is quite steeeeep. I'd would love to spend 79US$ at the saabsite for a rear caliper reman for my 97 900se but I am halfway thorough the job to find my left rear inboard piston incredidibly seized and I need the part ASAP to have car ready to drive for Wednesday/Thursday home to the US of A. Shipping across the border takes FOREVER!
Any leads would be most appreciated, I only have my bicycle and live in the Plateau area. I know there a quite a few Montreal, Quebec SAABers out there! Anyone want to meet at the JeanTalon 15 Orange Julep sometime soon?
The brake job was very rusty, but went well with the right 1/8" AWL to knock the pins out and my girlfriend's big geology hammer. Sprayed rusted joints/bolts down with wd-40 the day before. I also painted the non contact hub area and the first few mm's of the rotor surface with 4 coats of black rustoleum metal paint.
Thanks for the help, sorry for long post.
