January 23, 200719 yr I'm having trouble getting the piston back into the caliper to make room for the new pads, the piston doesn't seem to rotate and wont go back under compression, any ideas? these are the Bendix brakes I believe
January 23, 200719 yr If the piston won't turn in then chances are the piston is a little siezed up.One trick I have used is to smack the back side of the caliper with a rubber mallet or deadblow hammer.That should help to free it up.
January 23, 200719 yr Jeff,Haven't heard from you.I sent emails,or PM's I think too.Windshield gaskets are shipping.Email or PM me,please.I replied to the Paypal payment address from your initial payment.That much I'm sure of.Talk to you soon, Paul Oh,and try some WD-40 or stronger,inside the dust boot around the piston.Let it sit facing upward for a bit,then go try it.. Seriously nice rebuilts on eBay.Randy "Mofoco" has them.Right around $49 I think.THey'll show up cheaper once in awhile,but only after you already bought them.
January 24, 200719 yr boot rebuilds? I'm lost LOL I'll PM you in here about the gasket Sorry,I meant rebuilt calipers.mmmmm good.
January 26, 200719 yr orilleys= cheap and lifetime warranty.............(where i get mine, got them for all years)
January 26, 200719 yr caliper rebuild kits are cheap and easy to do. i've seen the kits for between $5 and $15 before and that's for both calipers.
January 27, 200719 yr Author ok so it moves only with alot of cranking, currently using channel pliers around the outside of it can I compress it using a clamp?
