Hi Guys
Another problem???
Has anyone overhauled their rear brake calipers at all?
I went online and bought a couple of brake caliper repair kits and yesterday started what I thought was going to be a straight forward job.
When I came to to fit the new piston I noticed that it had non of the internal bits in it that the old piston had. ie a shaft with the centre threaded and a few washer/shims around it. Presumably to facilitate the hand brake operation on the disc pads
The new one was completely void of anything.
Emailed the supplier and he told me that I have to fit the bits from the old piston onto the new piston, I would have to undo a circlip to release the internal threaded shaft.
I cannot see any circlip holding this shaft in and in fact it seems to be an integral part of the piston.
Can anyone help me please. Am I missing something before I send them back.
