Grrr...

So this explains why the handbrake was crap and possibly why the stiff rear wheel bearing.
Slider pin completely seized (boot was intact, I've cut it off)





Not got much hope on getting this out (whacking the crap out of big mole grips clamped on the end has got it to turn a couple of degrees and that's it).

So has anyone got a pad carrier for the drivers side rear of a 4th gen please?

Not bothered about condition of the pad clips or slider pins because I'm renewing all those, but the casting needs to be in good nick with the slider pins not completely sezied in like this one.

Anyone going to the national meet maybe???
Pretty please????

would it free off with a bit of heat?

I was going to suggest heat. They do come out. When it is out run a drill bit in and out with plenty of grease.

Maybe yeah, but being that badly seized, the bore will be in pretty bad shape corrosion wise, so for how easy it should be to pick up a second hand carrier and not have that worry I'd rather do that.

(Assuming I can get the damn thing off - the head of the bolts holding it on don't look in great health!)

we have the rear calipers and carriers from the bb1 we just broke i only need the calipers as my carriers are in good nick
will talk to crunchy tommorow

sure we can bring the carrier

@dbo if you dont have time to strip the caliper bring the lot to the meet and we will strip it for you.

I might have it aswell, I will have a look tomorrow

I just had a look. the spare rear caliper I had is seized aswell

No worries, thanks for checking Mart.
Looking like Dbo/jonja can get me out of trouble.

I got them for you
