Hello
Well I believe I just successfully replaced my rear brakes and rotors I had a seized caliper, that took the longest but I watched Eric Shays video on how to hammer the piston out by inserting a 4mm hex wrench and hitting the wrench until it pushes the piston out Piston was a bit rusted in 2 small areas I cleaned then and replaced piston I did notice the outer seal was torn and I though all was lost I replaced caliper, bled the brakes Took her out for 17 mile spin braking at 5-10-20-30-40 Brakes feel good not strange noises When I returned no leaks I could see, rear rims were not hot I hope this is a success, if not I will buy 2 new calipers Thanks to everyone for the advice This was a learning experience, one I enjoyed very much. Thanks Mike |
