rear srt brakes a lil messed up?

Post by speedyrb29 » Sat Jul 14, 2007 7:44 pm

ok i will get pics soon once i stop being lazy with the camra. but i stared disassembly on my rear srt brakes because i have to replace the ebrake lines.

now once i started this i notcied on each caliper one of the bolts that hold the caliper to the knuckel are bent inside the lil shaft that gose threw the rubber gromet. im guessing that not good and needs to be replaced?

also i noticed one of the pistons has a chip missing off of it...guessing i need a new caliper or pistion???

and th last thing is the lil rubber stops near where the brake lines go are damaged now what do they do? do i need to replace them too?

Sounds like time to get loaded calipers (which should be complete assemblies with brackets that mount to the knuckles).

Then work out form their. Remember to disassemble the calipers to lube them with High temp silicone.

I wouldn't, only because it would be easier for that one to spring a leak.

That depends, are you good at rebuilding calipers? I know guys who are, but me, I'd exchange this caliper for a loaded replacement.
Drive it like you stole it, and work on it like you married it.
