Brake Caliper Refurb

Post by r055 » Tue Oct 14, 2008 1:25 pm

anyone done it recently? What parts did you replace if any?
Are they the calipers all the same regardless of Discs (ie MMC?)

Calipers are all the same.

Speak to Steve the Weej, as he's snuffling around AP contacts at the moment and will probably be able to source a seal kit - that's what you'd replace. Should get them easy enough as it's a standard AP Racing caliper (forgot the P/N though)

For clarity - I was referring to the fronts in my post. Rears are Brembo and I'm not so sure how easy seals are to get.

I have a pair of serviceable fronts that I need to sell.
