brakes finally overhauled
April 19, 2008, 04:31:34 PM
Now Ive finally fixed the rear brakes. took me almost 5 hours but the sun was shining...  ::)

After last MOT he could just rotate the wheel with one hand (that's the rule for alignment brake)
But for my own sake I want to save brake dust, fuel and brake pads :D

Everything came of easy and I followed the brake overhaul manual, step by step.
Since the handbrake worked I didn't bother separating and checking that.

The piston was not that stuck that I thought it would. I could easily rotate it but no way rotate it and press it in by hand.

After pressing it I used the bit to clear the clamping from the brakeholder.
But im a bit confused here because it will not be doing so much work when hitting it in on these brakes. The piston itself will be squeezed in between and I think it damage more than doing good 
Anyway the depresser was put on top and we started depressing. It takes extreme forces. But it came of. :D   and I was soooooo happy. I think there where many bad words...
I don't know if I depressed the housing the right way, the manual didn't say which way so I guess it doesn't matter ?

The piston and everything seemed in good nick. I used molybden grease from biltema when I reassembled everything.

Tomorrows I bleed the system from air and hope for the best 


The car rolled very easy after this. I had to use some bricks preventing it from going down the street!
