Getrag Posted August 3, 2006 Share Posted August 3, 2006 Changing my front brake pads right now and the bolt flange on the front caliper just completely broke off. I've read this here before but never thought it would happen to me. Very dangerous as the inside of where it broke was already oxidised. It had obviously been like that for a while. Now the car is on the drive-way till I get new front calipers. Someone, please help me out, see post below. And something to think about everyone, for all those older Supra's out there. http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?p=957172#post957172 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Getrag Posted August 3, 2006 Author Share Posted August 3, 2006 ....the lower sliding pin of the carrier is seized solid so done 2 things. put tremendous heat through the lower part of the caliper...hence it broke. and been pinching the pad at the top...so 1 side of the old pad is worn more than the other. Cheers folks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
