I have a '73 2.0 i'm parting out, and my rear calipers are uberfrozen to the newish rear rotors.
anyone have a good way to get the pistons to slide back through their original hard as hell rubber seals and unseat so they'll loosen up enough to remove the calipers? i've already loosened the e brake adjustment nut and of course loosened the bleeders! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/WTF.gif) thanx a lot 914 addict soon enough to buy another one...w/o factory rust for a mutant V8 mod.... after I turbocharge/intercool/big brake etc my just bought $500 88 jetta Gli w/ factory recaros etc...

If you want simple...
Take off the e-brake cable from the cable either unclip it, or cut the cable with a sawzall/cable cutter. Take out the two bolts holding the caliper in place. Take a large prybar, pry it off the rotor.. I took off a set that had no intention of moving...only took a few minutes per side. Rich |
