Hi,
I have tried my best to get my front brake system to work....but, the Caliper is not functioning. I have the following options - [1] buy a new/refurbished caliper [2] buy a seal kit [3] fit any modern day caliper.
Please let me know which modern day caliper fits and works well.
Cheers,

Have you repaced any of the seals or Pistons ? Are Pistons free to move? Callipers are quite easy to refurb yourself.

It sounds like you might have a air leak, have you any signs of fluid ? Have you tried a syringe to draw the fluid through ? The front brake is normally the easier one to do, the back brake is a bitch !

Have you refurbed the master cylinder ? The small hole with the base of the master cylinder may be blocked, this may be the issue, also go to the air cooled forum and try the search for belle ding brakes some good info on there |
