Rob Posted April 10, 2005 Share Posted April 10, 2005 Dismantled all my brakes today for a full refurb, guess what??? All the pistons and bores were as clean as a clean whistle, but most of the slider pins were stuck. In the refurb kit, there are little copper flat washers which I presume are for the brake line banjos, but the ones I had before were double sided compressible washers, should these be compressible as well?

Digsy Posted April 11, 2005 Share Posted April 11, 2005 IIRC the refub kit contains: Cylinder internal seals. Cylinder external "boots". Bleed nipple covers. Sliding pin external "boots". Assembly grease. Copper washers. The front caliper sliding pins have rubber bushes on them, which are different top and bottom. The rear caliper pins have a seal on only the top one. I don't think that these are included in the kits. Each kit contains enough bits to do one pair of calipers, and they are NOT expensive! I have the part numbers at home. If someone reminds me I'll post them up later on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Posted April 11, 2005 Author Share Posted April 11, 2005 Refurb kits contains the little metal and rubber collars for the sliding pins. Each kit does a full pair i.e. both sides of the car. I think I paid about £50 for a full set fronts and rears. I'll get you the part number tonight, cos I'm at work, working, not surfing the BBS like all those IT types on here.

Digsy Posted April 11, 2005 Share Posted April 11, 2005 Make sure you can get hold of some high-temperature grease for putting the sliding pics back in. I bought some from Chris Wilson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Posted April 11, 2005 Author Share Posted April 11, 2005 What sort of grease was it, I've used Moly in the past with no ill effect on the sliders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digsy Posted April 11, 2005 Share Posted April 11, 2005 TBH I have no idea what is actually is, but its the CW approved grease for brake rebuilds. I think its some kind of ultra high temperature CV joint grease. Its a lot more viscous than the stock grease but it does do the job. He sells it by the 35mm film case full when he has some spare. Part numbers: Front: Piston seals and boots: 04479-14120 (does both sides) Sliding pin bush 2: 47769-50020 (2 required) Sliding pin bush 1: 47769-50010 (2 required) Rear: Piston seals and boots: 04479-24030 (does both sides) Sliding pin bush: 47769-50010 (2 required - same as fronts) Also: If you feck up one of the sliding pin boots when you put it in (like I did), you'll need to get some more (like I did): Sliding pin boot: 47775-50010 Please double check with Mr. T before ordering.
