So Rockauto sent me new discs (Raybestos) when I replaced that messed up caliper batch. Only now I realized that a disc is rubbing (and NO it's...
Oh yeah - but 1 run of 10-15km : that's not the usual and I can get a heavy foot sometimes. On average, I still hit a bit lower than the...
I don't know whether to laugh or to cry, Chap. :ROFLMAO: Let me confirm again that I'm seeing some stupid low mpgs on my car - I got a reading as...
I couldn't fathom that a new caliper could be broken. When two new calipers happened to give the same issue I suspected anything but the calipers....
I noticed this type of negligence with aftermarket parts.
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...
