Reply to "INEXPENSIVE STOCK REAR BRAKE PADS"

bosswrenchMember

Yellow-guy, be aware that the early Pantera's rear calipers are also used on some models of Peugeot; not an easily-sourced machine either. The whole caliper is designed to slide along the steel-plate e-brake frame. Some strategically-placed grease in the caliper grooves may aid the sliding action, after the usual 30 years of road-grime is cleaned off. To adjust the rear caliper, the slot in the piston is rotated about 45 degrees with some tool, then the piston can be retracted. The stock brake pad has a tab that engages the slot and prevents the piston from turning while you're driving. If it does, the self-adjusting feature of the e-brake is lost but not the braking action.
