rebuilding z32 calipers

[mike240sr]

my question is how do the pitsons come out of the calipers, so i can replace all the seals

use an air compressor to blow them out. put a block of wood in the middle so you don't damage the pistons when they shoot out. after you get the first one out you'll have to plug up the hole inside somehow so all the air doesn't leak out there. you're on your own on how to do that.

WATCH YOUR FINGERS using high pessure air to blow the pistons out of the caliper! I know from experience

Where did you order the rebuild kit?

The threaded hole where the brake line goes into the caliper is where you will apply the compressed to eject the pistons. When I did mine only one would eject completely out of it's cylinder at a time. Do use a piece of wood to stop the pistons.

When I did mine I could not find a fitting that would fit the threaded hole. I got an eraser and cut out a cicular piece to fit the hole in the caliper. I made a small hole in the eraser and then used one of those needles to air up a ball with to insert in the hole. It's kind of ghetto, but it worked.

You can buy rebuild kits from most autoparts stores. You can also get them from an oem parts dealer if you don't want an aftermarket kit from a general autoparts store.
