Rewinding rear caliper piston....

[gm8]

any luck today then m8 ?

Bought a new caliper today, also a new brake pipe, the 11mm union was a nightmare to get off, so ended up bending the bracket, got it off tho, just got to bend it back, then put all back together, then bleed the system...

Hopefully will have all day tomoz on it. Hoping get it back on its wheels tomorrow!

Fingers crossed

ah well,  should be back on the road soon then

Does this look right?? The union won't go in any more!!

The new union has more thread than the old...should be ok right??

[gm8]

you will know as soon as you start to bleed , but think it looks ok

[hardmonkeys]

This wasn't ok...pissed brake fluid out when attempting to bleed the pipe....the new union had 4 or so extra threads..so although the union was tight, the pipe wasn't tight up against the other side...that's what you get for buying non genuine parts..so back to VW for a genuine part now...tried to,save money..ended up costing more now :-/ oh well you live and learn

[gm8]

did you get the pagid ones from ECP ?  I have them on mine with no probs ?

[hardmonkeys]

Yep I did...I did notice the union tho didn't I. It's ok, I'll see how the VW one does..can't see why it shouldn't
