Movinasfastasican Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 Everything is in the title. Brakes locked up on me. Need calipers or recommendations For replacing. Anything compatible? Got a buddy that may help me retro fit something newer but I like stock. Anything helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subaru Scott Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 Take them apart and clean them out. If the pistons aren't pitted, you can just replace the seals. Not that complicated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Movinasfastasican Posted September 4, 2017 Author Share Posted September 4, 2017 Thank you. Thats an idea I got sent already. Worried they may be pitted beyond repair I'm in a rust prone area 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subaru Scott Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 Can't hurt to have a look. Most of the time, they're just packed with dirty goo and stuck. Take them off the mount, but leave the line connected, and pump the brake pedal to pop the pistons out. Use some fine plumbers strapping cloth to clean any rust off the pistons.
