It was all about the caliper's cylinder not retracting. The Raybestols RL calipers that I got, both are not retracting properly. Either because...
Problem Solved: DONE - no more heating heels (unless I brake like a rally driver) Today I was trying to get those dial numbers and I just...
Thanks. I'll do the rebuild kit first. There's life left in my Tokicos from the way they look.
OK. I don't have conclusive numbers but I have conclusive results. Testing by eye, on the car I could tell RL (bad one) moves a tiny bit, a...
The test was done with air and the piston landed on something soft (I was close to the ground too) - that caliper had no fluid in it. So it was...
Pics from today. I did some bench measurements of the pistons for Tokico and Raybestos (and got 0.16mm for both with the final method) - but...
EDIT: found this honda/acura rear caliper rebuild. Transplant complete - will post a couple of pics later. Q: brake cleaner doesn't need to be...
I had to cut off the parking brake support (the eyelet) off the old Tokico (seized by rust badly and I was dumb enough and didn't know any better)...
The piston's rubber appears to be in great shape, any idea if I can replace the Toyota paste with silicone paste? Given that it did not affect the...
Thanks Chap - I actually edited the post because I think some of those guys are confused: they're talking about guide pins at some point. It's not...
Gotcha @ASRDogman!Actually, for the piston seal (official manual wording), in the manual (see p12 for eg in this excerpt) they call for "lithium...
I disconnected it, drove like that, and still hot. Not the cable by far. The cable has the tip rusty but inside it was lubed (the rubber boot...
I took the OEM calipers apart (kept those in a box for days like these). The rubber parts look good. Gonna try to clean the RL and bolt it on the...
It's the same case ASR :cool:. Just look at the list of things I've done. That's why I'm going insane. RockAuto just sent me a warranty...
@Mendel Leisk - I rarely apply the parking brake. Both the mechanic and Toyota said it must be the caliper. My mechanic said I was...
So you think I'd be happier with HID? The housing you got, does it have an HID projector in it? I know iirc that led projectors are not the same...
After I'm done torquing, I depress the brakes and stick my head in there to make sure the piston sits flush (literally). Been checking this since...
Chap ... (y)x1,000,000 - I was reading in the manual and wondering about this. The manual puts 1 to regular bleeding and 2 for system bleeding -...
Ok. Also, I imagine when they changed the booster they must've ensure there's no air trapped in there? Gonna play with Techstream to see if I...
Somebody mentioned TIS "brake relearn" at some point somewhere, I forget. Is that a thing? Do you do it with a regular bleeding in TIS or how does...
