Default Re: 40mm Rear Brake Calipers special

Warfang, I have changed the calipers on my own car about 8 times during the development from the original 38mm to the current 40mm size and the various small improvements. Add on another half dozen times for the first local customers, and few more (thanks to LiqouRT) lately that I finally remembered to take some pictures. It's not hard. If you do this, as with everyone, you'll get my phone number to call anytime.

The two tricky parts I give you hints for - removing the brake cable with pliers instead of unbolting the brake lever arm, and then violently exercising the parking brake handle during bleeding to get all the air out.

As goofy and self-serving as it sounds, I still love to hear unsolicited comments from customers that say it was a bigger improvement than they expected. It's really how the car should have come from Dodge.
