Brake Issues / ABS

37ozs

I'm using voice text on my cell phone. My apologies. I do have the akebono calipers. I'm not in over my head, I put a clutch, flywheel and cmak kit in it in my garage on jack stand 3 months ago..... For the most part i have a good grasp on most things, just not this particular car.... yet. That being said the halves of the caliper did get separated by me removing the 4 bolts. I didn't look at any manuals i just went for it.

Rusty

Much better.

Ok, you have some skills. You have to remove the caliper.Put it on a bench. Remove the 4 bolts that hold the caliper halves together. There is an o-ring between the halves that you have to inspect to see if it got damaged. IF it's damaged, you have to replace it. Now here's the bad part. There is ONLY one place that has the o-ring. That is Z1, and you have to buy the caliper rebuild kit to get it. Once you get the caliper back together and installed on the car. You might be able to just bleed that caliper. Start with the inside bleeder first. Then the outside bleeder. DO NOT let the reservoir go dry. If you do. You might have to bleed all 4 brakes.

I don't remember the bolt torque for the caliper bolts off the top of my head. They're not easy to find in the manual. There is a thread on it tho.

Make sure the reservoir is topped off when you are done. If not. you will get dash lights.

Honestly if i would have just looked up and read about the brakes first i wouldn't have had to post. I went against my better judgment and winged it. I guess this just serves as a reminder to always "read the instructions" first. At the end of the day I never had to remove the caliper from the car. Just torqued the bolts down to about a good 65ft.lbs, bleed all 4 corners starting RR & so on. Had some air sneak over to the LF but mostly came from RF where the incident took place. RESULTS; No dash lights, stiff pedal & even pistion deployment.
