[s-cars] Rear Brake Caliper ????

[chris chambers]

Jim,

FYI: There have been reports of re-manufactured/rebuilt rear calipers with the parking cam untouched and rusty.
You could replace your calipers with "rebuilt" ones and have the same issue. Several have cleaned and lubed the
cam which fixed the issue, Fred Munro had a nice how to write up on this ... I'll see if I can find it.

There is a nice caliper rebuild write up here with good pics, it might give you enough information to
repair the sticking parking cam.

>My '95 avant has developed a sticking drivers rear caliper, and as it is due to a sticky parking brake cam lever, it has worn one side of the rotor much more than the other.  So, I'm looking at new pads and rotors anyway, and was thinking since these are original calipers that have 150K on them, I might as well go the full new/reman caliper route.  I need plug and play, can't afford the downtime to rebuild at the moment.  That is, unless, someone has a better idea......such as some known good condition calipers hanging around they'd part with for a song?  I'd like that idea, because I would like to hold onto the calipers I have and rebuild them if needed some other time....

>And if not, anyone recommend a source for new/reman. rear calipers, rotors and pads?  Due to lack of finances, I'd like to keep it as stock as it is.  It sees no track time, just spirited Rocky Mountain 4-season driving.  Thanks all!
