Rear Brake Calipers
Hi Guys,
my rear brake calipers are broken beyond any repair. New rear calipers from toyota goes for about 400e/piece. My car has not gone threw MOT yet so I cant really go for some big brake upgrade with adapter plates. What options do I have is there any other bolt on caliper that fits or with minor adjustments. |

get some refurbished units off of ebay.. about 130-160 euro's a piece.
There isnt a lot that will bolt on without lots of other mods. FABRICA MI DIEM, PVNC! |

Or find a complete set of MA45 brakes. These are slightly larger (~1inch), and bolt up, no adaptor plates necessary.

Rebuilding the rears with new seals is very easy to do. Consider that option, you need a special removal tool to get to the cylinder.

He did say broken beyond repair..
And rebuilding the rear calipers is a pain in the ass. The main seal is easy to get too, but the handbrake mechanism (which causes most problems) is tedious, and needs special tools. FABRICA MI DIEM, PVNC! |

It isn´t so hard to repair the rear-caliper, i made the special tool by myself. u have to cut a rear-piston and take out the "srcew" and welding it on to a screwdriver. now u can easily hold down spring to fit the snapring.
