- DM!@#I've got a 84 ford tempo with a brake problem. !@#The front
- driverside caliper (front discs) wont !@#release all the way.
-
- DM!@#I'm looking at rebuilding the caliper. !@#the rebuild kit costs
- only $5 which I assume is all the !@#rubber stuff.
-
- if the piston is dull black(plastic) then BUY rebuilt calibers...if
- steel pistons then pull the caliber off one side at a time and then step
- on the brake till piston comes out...or use compressed air applied to
- the hose inlet...you can use a old tire stem to plug the line...lacking
- that clamp the hose with visegrips(not recommended). Buy several cans of
- brake clean to clean 'em with.. DON'T USE ANY OIL BASED cleaner..thats
- it...
