Rear Brake Overhaul - Help Please
Failed the old WOF on seeping brake fluid from the rear
calipers, where the handbrake cable goes in
So it's time to get the hands dirty... open up the good old
Haynes manual, and it says "Take in to a specialist", well
that sounds like BS to me, this manual must have been
written in the states.
Has anyone got anything relating to this job? or know of
something on the net? The brake kit can be bought anywhere,
and I've only ever done drum barkes before, so I'm slightly
wary of how the hand brake interacts etc and any traps for
young players... ie: springs that come out and never go back
in.
Cheers

Hi Gazza
Dismantling and re-assembly is covered in the Enthusiasts manual. From memory, the only bit that I encountered that could get lost is the adjuster screw.

The only issue I had was that the circlips holding in one of the seals was recessed beyond the reach of my circlip pliers. I got a brake crowd to change these seals but did all the rest myself. Get the overhaul kits from Sterlings in Onehunga. Take the opportunity to upgrade to EBC pads or similar.

I had mine done recently and can offer the suggestion to sort it out quickly. One possible down-side of delay is that brake fluid can find its way on to the pads causing irrepairable damage (to the pads).

Thank you for your help

double check any torque settings. The haynes manual has a few wrong -
and one very wrong (which got me). I overtorqued a slider pin on the
front calliper.

Hi Glenn
Thanks for that, awesome instructions cheers. Bit of a sh*t to get the first
one apart but the second was a breeze, juts hope they go back together the
same way.
The inside of the main piston looks complicated, not sure what's going on in
there so best leave that bit alone

Hey Glenn
I used to have a fibre glass pen from my days as a draughtsman but can't
seem to find a place that sells them anymore. Where did you get yours? I
might give Jif bathroom cleaner a go if I can't get one, scotch brights are
not so good as they can scratch metal.

Hey Gazza, you can get those green scouring pads for "non stick" pans, they
should be ok.
