[Fot] Caliper Rebuild

[EDWARD BARNARD]

Yes, they can be rebuilt. The "O" rings are available from Moss for a small
amount...pick-up a few. They are a weird, square cross sectional ring. The
reason Moss and the shop manual says they shouldn't be opened is because there
doesn't appear to be any recorded torque for the four bolts. Use good practice
in torqueing these...I don't remember what diameter they are but torque them
to the appropriate spec for that diameter bolt.

After my
weekend at Grattan I noticed my Girling caliper was weaping a little
fluid out
of top center.

Can these be rebuilt? Moss says NO in their catalog.

I took
it apart and it is a simple O-ring that needs replaced.



Thanks
