Nic Posted May 10, 2007 Share Posted May 10, 2007 I need one in a hurry after it seized on me yesterday, great fun :S Which rear calier do you have, 2 pot or 1 pot? If you have the smaller 1 pots then you'll probably find a spare used one by asking in the wanted section. Alternatively Toyota sell recondition kits for both calipers, which include all new seals, pins, etc. If you need in a hurry try your local T dealer.

r1george Posted May 10, 2007 Share Posted May 10, 2007 Generally it's only the slider pins which seize on the calipers which aren't actually a part of the caliper so I would make sure it's not just the pins. Remove the caliper bolts 2 off which should leave the pins which have the rubber boots holding them in. With a small amount of force you should be able to pull the sliding pins out. If you can't thats the problem, the grease has dried out and the pins are probably corroded (you can get them from Mr T) There should be a small rubber seal at the bottom of each pin ifyou get new one's Short term you could prise the pins out rub them down with emery cloth clean the hole which they fit into out as best you can put copper ease on the pin and your away.
