rebuilt calipers and new rotors ...question and comments
Alrighty, I had been putting off the rebuild of my front calipers long enough, and decided to do them today. Easy! Somewhat of a kick seeing the old seals (82SC, do the math ) literally crumble in my hand. So the seals went in no prob, and the calipers work fine. But after a thorough bleed and test drive why does the right side still feel like the wheel drags more than the left when I turn it by hand with the car jacked up?
As for replacing the calipers ...dang what a pain!! I guess I am spoiled by the absolute ease in which the 993 calipers R&R. You'd think that with a company with racing heritage, they would have designed these for easier replacement ...ugh!! BTW, how much grease do you guys pack in the hub anyway ...just stuff it??
Oh well, glad it's done ...thanks or indulging me ...i'm tired!
