Re: caliper rebuild? 700 1985

/// On the car look for brake fluid in the pad space from the piston seals. If the pads have a "V" shape wear pattern one set of pistons is frozen, the pair with the least wear.

But if that "V" is on both front and they are Girling calipers suspect fluid contamination. The bottom or rear set of pistons (piston late mod) is connected to the front master cylinder reservoir. If incorrect fluid is topped off most of it will be in the first chamber, and go to those pistons. If the master cylinder is ATE and the calipers Girling there will be no "black fluid in the reservoir.
