Caliper Service

[R31Nismoid]

Anyone used anywhere in particular in Melb that are decent?

Just for a R33 Brembo caliper set.

I don't want to use racebrakes if i can help it.

Also, roughly what's the going rate for something like that, just two fronts?

They are pretty easy to do yourself. Did mine years ago and have 2 DECA's and a few track events and still going strong.

Got the seals from nissan (grease was supplied with seals)

Just need a big ass vice (with Alloy right angles covering the jaws of the vice, so they don't damage the caliper)

Good quality Allen Key and extsion pipe for leverage

Make sure you do not loose the 'o' ring when separting.

Part number is: 4112012U25. They are original brembo seals. Cost from memory $80.00.

Hope this helps

Cheers

I rebuilt my sumitomos and yeah its easy. I didnt bother splitting the caliper as there no leaks, and its not as if those o rings are going to wear at all like the piston seals. I also used 1200 paper to polish out some minor scoring on the pistons.

Hrm I have zero tools well, not zero but certainly not enough for something like that

Apartment living kinda means I don’t get the luxuries of a big vice and so on hehe…

So I will have to give em to someone else, part number is a good help though, ill just get it and give it to them and be done with it and pay the difference I suppose.

Also cleaning the inside I take it you need to do, with what exactly?

I understand, I am in the same boat. But, I was fortunate enough that I used the engineering section at my work.

You will need to separate them as, there is not enough room to lever out the pistons. Mine where very hard to take out, I used 2 screwdrivers.

To clean them, I used clean dry cloth rags ( Not those types of rags..... ), Do not use Kero as it will perish the seals, if not cleaned out properly.

Instructions were supplied with each individual packaged seal and grease.

Daniel @ DJM in East Burwood can probably help. A "general" mechanic, not brakes specific. But knows his way around most bits of a car.
