Rebuilding calipers

Post by riceburner006 »

Hi Bill, What,'s the weather like in beautiful CA? I would like your
input on how to make the little 600 front caliper work better! I'm
refering to the yoke being stubborn to slide freely on the caliper
body. I use anti-sieze on the sliding parts, but Im still not
satisfied on the action. It seems with time,they tend to sieze
together,especialy in the SALT STATES!! Just my opinion,but I think
the braking system on the sedan, especialiy needs a lot of help
Particularly those rear brake "single-poppers"! Riceburner

Hi there Riceburner;
I have all the parts cad plated, and the shoes new for the rear and
front disk pads also new. Then I use lubraplate, on the mating surfaces,
it's kind of like grease, but better. The name brand is a GM product.
The rear brake set up for the single piston system depends a lot on the
rotation of the wheel, the thickness of the braking surface remaining on the
drum and if it is smooth (fresh cut). They were never intended to work
alone.
Bill
