BRAKES 120-130

posted by  someone claiming to be Gene on  Fri Nov 28 15:48 CST 2003 [RELATED]

I'm in the process of rebuiling the front calipers on my PV544 with a 122 front disk brake conversion. I just orderd full rebuild kits from swedishtreasures.com. Check out Joe's web site, good selection of parts etc. Good luck extracting the pistons, mine were pretty well frozen in place, but the internal cylinders are actually in fairly good condition. These kits run about $70.00 each side, and include all the rubber parts, pistons, bleed nipples etc. DOES ANYONE OUT THERE HAVE ANY ADVISE ON WHETHER I SHOULD BREAK THE CALIPERS IN HALF AND REPLACE THE JOINING SEALS WHICH ARE ALSO INCLUDED IN THE KIT? I THOUGHT I MIGHT BETTER LEAVE WELL ENOUGH ALONE ON THIS ASPECT.
