Rustina 510 Posted April 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2012 Had a major care today. Driving to work on 205, went to stop and again the rear fucking brakes had nothing. Swirved and avoided a crash. Limp to work. And their is brake fluid all over the rear passenger inner rim. I'm thinking it's the other brake cylinder. That's means I had to brand fucking new cylinders fail. On on each side and only like to months apart. I don't have time to work on it and I have to pick up my kids after work. So I'm taking the car into the shop to pay and have it done... So discouraging :( and scary, good thing I don't drive crazy or fast, I could have been Hirt and wrecked my baby 510wagoon yo!!!!

Rustina 510 Posted April 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2012 Yes sir. Another failed wheel cylinder. Wtf. I really hope this shit doesn't go down again Quote Link to comment
Rustina 510 Posted April 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2012 Big day today. Getting my new hood, and hopefully new fenders today, install will have pics. I'm fucking siked!!!! Quote Link to comment
Rustina 510 Posted April 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2012 Went to replace the front pads. Got one side done and the other side would not compress. Broke a brand new c clamp, sanded it down and covered it in on blaster and nothing. Fucker wouldn't budge. Good thing I have to spare full front brake assemblies, I'll tear them apart and find one that works I hope. Has to put the old pads back on the drivers side, she still brakes evenly but I really want all new front pads to last tell I go zx on this beeeeaaaaaaaatttttcccccchhhhhhhh Quote Link to comment
Rustina 510 Posted April 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2012 Pulled the other calipers off the spare front brakes I have, one of the 3 looks like It will probably work. I looked everywhere for this part new, the brake caliper piston, for 2 days now through every resource I could think of. No chance. Even talked to my uncle who is the south western arizona regional manager of napa and he pretty much told me I have a better chance getting my dime into the NASA space program :/ Quote Link to comment
izzo Posted April 24, 2012 Report Share Posted April 24, 2012 Is it the passenger side caliper? I couldn't get that fucker to bleed out to save my life. Quote Link to comment
Rustina 510 Posted April 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2012 Actually no. But I did have to completely remove the piston from the caliper, scrap off the crap and rust, use 1k grit sand paper to sand it smooth again. Did all that with the drivers side too but it was a no go, busted a brand new c clamp trying to push that bitch in. But what's funny is the dam brake still works, I put the old pads back on and bled it out and I have a very even Brake line all around. Even locked them up at 35. 45. And 55 mph, turn around and saw a very even brake line. So it still pushed out but won't go back in. Unlike your buthole izzo :rofl: Just kidding Quote Link to comment
