@muttsjet posted:Am stuck...three quick questions:
- one of the two front caliper pistons (other popped out immediately with compressed air) is now retracked, frozen in place, and will not budge/loosen using compressed air nor using manually trying to turn piston out...any ideas?
- side cap on front caliper also frozen and will not unscrew...a steel bar, inserted in slot with caliper in vice, bent and cap didn't move a mm...any ideas?
- will removing the four bolts (1 in pic) at the base of the wheel hub allow me to remove the brake disc, or do I need to also remove other bolts on the inside of the disc?
I had a piston that wouldn't budge from the caliper no matter how much air pressure I used... I ended up hooking the brake line back up to it and standing on the pedal... it finally popped out... Steve's note to put a piece of wood or something to catch it is worth noting, mine should be approaching the outer atmosphere of Saturn next Tuesday!!
I'm pretty sure those bolts will release the rotor... BUT, as noted, there is more to to than just getting it loose...
is that a Cobra (AC) in the background? the mortal enemy of the mongoose!!!
