How to rebuild front Calipers?

Miguel0019 · 02-07-2010, 09:31 AM

I need them but I saw a rebuilding kit on the net, I was wondering if anyone knows, how to get this done. Or can tell me where I could the step by steps instructions..

Thanks,

Miguel

I have a 1996 Disco I the both front calipers are liking brake fluid, I have to refill it every two days or so. 1 to 10 mechanically speaking, I am a 4 for sure but I have a friend who is a 10 and close to a 7 working on Land rovers...

One's insurance company would probably like it better if one installed new calipers and lines as opposed to rebuilding. Rebuilding is fine if one has the tooling and ability however new calipers are fairly inexpensive in my opinion from say Atlantic British. I rebuilt my old ones and I'm keeping them for spares. I didn't have the time to deal with them and refuse to allow anyone but myself to work on my rover. Now I know how and that's half the battle.)

Ps: honestly nothing other than insurance is as important as braking. Why mess with it it's your life we're talking about here!!!!
