REAR CALIPER PARKING BRAKE DISASSEMBLY
Posted: Fri Nov 16, 2012 11:39 pm
Working on my rear calipers and looking to fully disassemble caliper and parking brake "wings". So far everything came apart with a little heat soaking, penetrant, air pressure, and gentle persuasion. Finally got to the parking brake wings and I think I know what to do, but wanted to double check before committing. It appears that they are two pivot pins pressed in to the main housing. The pins have threads on the inside which I assume is used to pull the pins out. tighten a screw in the pin, heat soak, and use a slide hammer attached to the screw to bang it out. I used a 10-32 screw and it appears to be the correct thread. Just want to make sure this is the way to pull these pins out and if there are any other tricks. Also, I would like to split the caliper which I know the factory manual says is a no no. But I have done this many times on other calipers with no issues. I just need to know the size and material for the two "O" rings that seals the fluid passages or better yet, if anyone sells them. My TTR rebuild kit did not have these O rings. Thanks Allan
