Rear brake Caliper rebuild ?

Postby buell1965 » Mon Nov 09, 2020 7:11 am

Hey guys rear brake caliper on the skorpion has been replaced with another used part and is not showing much promise . My question is , is there a rebuild kit for that caliper or just find a Brembo p32f .thank you in advance

Pistons sticking?
Unless they are really bad and you have the time and patience to do it strip the thing down yourself, you may be surprised at what can be achieved!

Roger that , I was afraid if I separate the caliper body I would not be able to find a rebuild kit , as is one caliper seeps fluid at the seam in the middle and the replacement from Steve's cycle here in georgia is not wanting to pump up . I agree there is nothing to lose by a disassemble and good advise . Cheers

As i remember there is only an O ring in the middle and they`re available all sorts of places, give it a go!

Penetrating fluid and heat are your new best friends, but not together! :)

some of the systems do not bleed well forcing the fluid down
force it up from the pucks to the upper reservoir with a fill bottle and a mighty vac type pump
the air goes up faster than the oil can take it down
when you try it by the car method
