I've just ordered my caliper rebuild kit for my R33 GTR Brembo's.

 

I've seen a few great write up's on how to rebuild these, but I'm hoping someone has personal experience in doing this so they can giveme some tips.

 

Will I be able to do this myself without a compressor ?

You may have trouble getting the pistons out without a compressor. You're welcome to come and use mine if you want.

you can pump them out on the pedal fella, they usually go but be very careful when doing it.

Cheers for the offer Andy, I thnk I may just give CTM a ring and see if they rebuild calipers :). Anything that saves me time these days without cutting corners is bang on the money.

 

So much to do, so little time.

Charlie will do anything if you wave enough £10 notes in his face :D

I'm gonna have to move quick though, He gets real busy towards the end of race season.

Actually thinking about it Andy I may well take you up on that Offer.

I want to make sure they are really clean before being put back together and I think if you want something done right you have to do it yourself.

 

I'll take the calipers off, drain them overnight, clean them up and put them in a bag, head up to yours, pop the pistons, wrap em up, put em back in a bag, buy you a beer, then head back down again :).

 

I probably won't do this until sometime in early August, but I'll give you a shout nearer the time to see when you are available.

Fine with me, most evenings are good, weekends are a bit hit 'n' miss. I also have a grit blaster, probably not what you'd want for the calipers, but good for discs etc though ...
