 |
|
Doing some spring refreshing and I broke off a bleeder screw on the front calipers. Since I am not going to be driving for a while, I'm looking for a ideas that will get me rolling (stopping)again.
Being a thrifty porsche driver, I am looking for replacement rebuilt calipers or rebuild kits.
I have an other set of rebuildable calipers
I have stuff to trade from other 79 NA. plural
All ideas are worthy of consideration.
Thanks Crew

not sure that is going to work out.... I lubed and heated the caliper and screw prior to breaking it of.... worth a shot though.... i think that the other side is going to suffer the same fate too

Well, I ran out of daylight BUT, I used the extra parts and cobbled it all back together.... 10YO son helped pump them and they are HARD!
I'll do a test drive in the morning.
Meanwhile, I'm getting a few rebuild kits and next is the driver front. rears are already done.
Its been a couple years and I plan on doing the water hoses and trans oil.

Start off by soaking them with penetrating oil for a couple of days. What we did in the old days is to touch the offending bolt with an arc welder. The current seemed to break steel loose from the cast iron.
