Andy Mc Posted June 9, 2023 Report Share Posted June 9, 2023 So yeh freeing up the sliders on rear caliper hasn't worked unfortunately 😮💨 I think it needs to come off and try and wind it in and out with lubing up or just replace as i haven't the tool for rear calipers. Other car is also crocked and booked in so stuck, if you pardon the pun. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Laird_Scooby Posted June 9, 2023 Moderators Report Share Posted June 9, 2023 .......... or an angle grinder pin-wrench. All need inward pressure on the piston but the angle grinder pin wrench works well for this too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Site Subscriber’s Chrismas Posted June 9, 2023 Site Subscriber’s Report Share Posted June 9, 2023 Those wind back tool sets you get on ebay are great, definitely an investment. Coming from someone who wound the caliper back the wrong way once and the piston came out. (on my Vectra). 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got one in the shed that isn't worth the metal it's made from! Wouldn't do the job so resorted to the pin-wrench again! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been a while since I last did one. Think I wedged something in the groove with a G-clamp last time which worked ok if slowly. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy Mc Posted June 11, 2023 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2023 Just saying I hate 20+ Yr old crusty rear brakes. Turns out the boot for the piston had a tear in it so water and rot have set in over time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Mc Posted June 11, 2023 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2023 All back together as best I could still sticking along with now a slack hand brake and light on dash. Did hope it was because a bulb was out but no, I appear to have bust the internal mechanism too 🙄 I give up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Mc Posted June 11, 2023 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2023 Also when looking online after giving car details. They all look slightly different to mine where the spring is located and handbrake mechanism. They're all 1998 - 2008. Is this right? This is the equivalent oem numbers apparently: VSBC202R 43012SEAE01 43012S1AE01 Honda Accord 1998-2008 (Models with 260mm diameter brake discs) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy Mc Posted June 12, 2023 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2023 All back together and cable hooked on. It's the mech at the rear of the caliper that's not clicked and loose. Time to contact some breakers me thinks and pray 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
