After too many years of fubar rear brakes I finally got around to a
total rebuild, new: calipers w/speed bleeders, pads, drilled 'poser'
zimmermans, SS lines, new ebrake cables and new fluid flush with the
crazy Castrol SRF. Additionally, I Hapertightened (tm) the HRSB to the
heretofore unheard of tightest setting. This has some very tight
clearances where it remains to be seen if will not rub on anything. It
took two of us about six hours for this whole operation, most of which
was with the ebrake cables of course.
Everything went exceedingly well except I stripped (what I think is
called) a guide pin nut on one of the rear caliper carriers.
Does anyone have an old caliper carrier guide pin that I could purchase?
Or, is this available anywhere? I'd guess the stealer would only sell
the whole carrier.
TIA
BTW two miracles occurred during this repair; one was retriving the
circlip dropped into the drive shaft cover by using an air hose and
blowing it out.
And yes 993tt front brakes with Cup wheels can be bled inside and out
without removing the wheels.
