mk1its Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 Guys Does anyone have an exploded diagram of UK spec brakes? I'm picking mine up from the paint shop today after having them stripped and sprayed black. They took them apart but commented on some of the long pins that go through the caliper. When they tried to remove them, the small nuts were rusted onto the threaded bar. My guess is, is that there are supposed to be locking bars with split pins to secure them, but I'm sure an exploded diagram would explain. I'll then be needing to order some proper parts. Why do people cut corners when it comes to cars? Surely their safety is more important than £30?? Anyway, any help would be appreciated guys. I'm also picking up my 19" alloys resprayed; very excited!!! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 They should be plain pad retaining pins held in with a stainless steel locking spring clip, there are no nuts. The stock pins are mild steel and rust in. It's easy to damage the calipers getting seized pins out. The pins themselves usually bend up scrap. I supply stainless steel pin kits at £32 plus VAT a car set. I also supply stainless caliper pistons, and I can supply seal kits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 As Chris says there's no nuts on UK spec calipers, i've attached the PDF file covering the braking system, page BR-36 has a good diagram of the front caliper & page BR-54 shows the rear Are you replacing all the seals and did they split the calipers as there are 2 seals in between the 2 halves. You have to be very careful how you do the calipers, there is a shoulder where the seals fit and no amount of cleaning can get this properly clean without splitting them. The seals fit where i've arrowed in BlueBR.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
