hey guys
love this forum since I get alot of knowledge on my honda's
so i would like to ask a question on rear caliper's.
well my rear rotor is shot, ordered a new one,got new pads, and the rear caliper is seized.tried everything to turn it back no luck.
okay so I ordered a reman from autzone for 50 with core exchange,will be here tomorrow what do i need to take off and any sequence
thanks guys

 

It is not difficult. My advice is to have the new caliper present when you remove the old one. Swap the brake line as quickly as possible to minimize air infiltration. Bleeding is the most diffcult part of the process. Do you have a manual?

 

no but i plan on investing in one.
is the helms the best one out ?
and thanks I will make sure to do that. I looked today and could only find 3 bolts I hope thats it.

 

also should I pull the parking break up ?
and thx i found the link on your sig for manual.

 

You want the parking brake released. Otherwise the caliper will be stuck on the rotor.

 

thanks bud

 

a bit of advice if you come across the piston on the caliper not going back in,
it turns in, may seem like a no brainer but hey, it might happen lol.

 

Make sure that the pins slide freely as well. I had a similar problem where I thought my caliper was seized, but it was just the pins. I cleaned them up and used some brake grease and it was fine.

 

thanks gs yes I turned it, went to autozone and got the cube socket didnt work and used my other caliper socket still.

whats the pins ? is that the clevis pins and lock pin ? either way the new caliper says delivery today from fedex I hope its there when i get home from work.
cant wait to post results and pics.
this car was abused but I will make it like new and do some simpled aero parts and wheels.

the pins are on the bracket. you dont need to worry about those just make sure they line up with the caliper when putting them back on. 2 bolts to take the caliper off and 1 for the line. easy. you can buy a self bleeder kit from autozone also to make it easy.

 

thanks everyone.
took me about a hr making sure everything was nice and clean. the only trouble i had was putting the Ebrake back on. you have to put the pin first then the 2 bolts that hold the cable. I bleed the brakes but have to give it another shot tomorrow. next project is belts and Radio Antenna& and Abs rear Sensor.
