refurbing rear brake calipers

[Alan_M]

They're not too bad to rebuild. I rebuilt some for my VTS beam on the 306 (rebuilt beam deserved rebuilt calipers!). Trickiest part is the belville washers that you need to compress to push the lever pin back through but an old socket with slots suffices (there are other methods suggested on this forum).

I will warn you though, if you have to replace the pistons swapping over the handbrake mechanism inside is a TOTAL ballache.

I took a load of photos during the rebuild and I keep meaning to do a guide. Plus, if you get an old ZX Haynes, it tells you how to rebuild in there!
