Thanks to Randall Young, Dave Massey and John Day for their advice on removing
my broken bleeder screw. I drilled the bleeder with progressively larger
drill bits and then used a large easy-out. Special thanks to John Day for a
replacement bleeder screw.
My problem now is that the brakes work, but one front caliper doesn't release.
I removed the pistons and cleaned them and the cylinder bore but it didn't
help.
I am contemplating changing to the Toyota 4 piston calipers as per the VTR
website. Has anyone done this recently? While searching the internet I found
references to people changing their Nissan 280Z calipers for the Toyota ones
because they are the same size (both are built by Sumitomo). Since I don't
really need the 4 piston stopping power, I was thinking of installing some
280Z calipers - probably cheaper, but I will have to check.
Any thoughts?
