As previously mentioned, learn how the back brakes and the venting work. You must put the caps on the inside back on or you will lose the adjusters.
I found the caps on the rear calipers completely frozen on so I had to remove the caliper to chisel them off. You may want to get some of the aftermarket steel caps that Pelican sells ahead of time. |

sounds great eric. thanks for the advice.
I started the project, dont have new rubber lines currently. Even though im not racing the car right now it would be a nice upgrade to the SS lines. I run SS lines on everyother car i own currently. PB blaster by the case at my house = check Line wrench = check torch = check Inner wheel bearings that dont wanna be the right size = check. should be getting the proper wheel bearings in tomorrow morning, then i can finish up the fronts. Would like to get to the rears before i go and pickup the new bearings. i'll let ya'll know what plays out. _billy |

k. got the new bearings and the front is together and ready to be bled.
Goin on to the rears right now, but one question i had for all of you 914 lovers out there. How do i get the dust cap back on without killing the thing??? I keep hitting it with a rag over a hammer and the thing wont go all he way on flush like it was before. I did get new discs if this helps at all... Thanks again, Billy |

First use a rubber mallet, should not take anymore than a few wacks.
Check and see if your cotter pin is in the way or debree of any kind. Use a caliper or even a small nail will work, insert next to the castel nut and check the depth than compair that to the lip on the dust cap. I have heard of this before on a front brake job with new rotors, their solution was to get new caps from Eric Shea. |

I got the car done. seems as though the front driver caliper is frozen. And im an idiot and forgot to adjust the rear venting, so they dont wanna let go either. will see if i can remedy that and actually drive the car tonite! Pedal feels a million times better though!!! |
