brake caliper/rear, headache
Posted: Wed Jun 23, 2010 5:51 pm
Finally got the goodridge lines sorted,
Fitted the front end, no problems, bled them in, and the brakes feel reel good, positive and hard compared to the standard setup.
Then i thought i'd sort out the rear
what a nightmare!!!
I think cos there's a bleed nipple both sides of the calliper then both pistons must move ( I've had callipers that only push on one side) so before i do something terminal to the callipers, is one side fixed, and if not, how do i remove the other piston.
what iv'e done so far,
Taken the calliper apart and try to free the piston off but nothing doing, so i connected the old brake lines and pumped up the system again, one piston moves, so i stopped that from moving with a well placed spanner and let the other take the pressure to try and move it, but it's not budging
so anyone with similar problems, and a good fix
