rebuilding calipers

[eddiec]

i have some z32 caipers that i want to rebuild w/ fresh seals.

i used compressed air to try and get the pistons out, but only one side will pop out. how do i get the other side to come ouT?

you have to plug the fluid passage hole thats inside the piston hole. If you look inside there you'll see a small hole... since one of the pistons is out already your just blowing the air out of the hole that was plugged up by the first piston.

I used my finger to plug the hole while i gave it a little air pressure... the second piston came about half way out then I just pulled it out by hand. (BE VERY CAREFUL WHEN DOING THIS!!!)

if you hold the old pads in the middle you can use the compressed air to push all 4 part way out then you can pull themm individually by hand, although too late for this now

ok so i got around to working on these. the pistons came out pretty easily by simply rockin them back and forth w/2 screwdrivers. and the mounting bolts were the perfect size to gain extra leverage with.
