hey guys, been lurkin here for awhile and have gotten a lot of good ideas from you guys.
i've got a prob w/ my rear caliper and hope someone here can help me out.
i have an '06 w/ the hydro brakes. i was replacing the rear brake pads and had the damndest time getting the piston to compress enough to get the new meaty pads around the rotor. after some fiddling, i figured out that i needed to turn out the bolt opposite the piston that goes through the parking assy. so i turned it out, pushed in the piston and got the caliper mounted, then i totally over torqued and broke that bolt when i was retightening it.
so i went out and got a new bolt and installed it but still didn't have any resistance on the brake pedal. kept turning it in and turning it in till the parking brake assy just broke! came apart in my hands and fell to pieces. so i just took the whole assy off the caliper and now it's just the caliper w/ a silver rod sticking out of it. and still zero hyd pressure at the pedal.
i'm thinkin i might need to get the block off kit.....
