I am trying to rebuild my front calipers and am having issues getting the dust boot back on does anybody have any tips or suggestions on how to get it all back together.

Thank you in advance,
James

 

Hey, James..

Not many of us have tried this because rebuilt calipers are readily available. I have never personally tried it either.

Yea... That's not a lot of help, is it?

How about this?

Good luck!

 

Just a note... I think the rebuild kit is around $20. A rebuilt caliper is around $175.

Late for work... will address the real question later.

 

Use plenty of brake fluid as lube. Seriously.




After rebuilding a set of calipers, I decided that remanufactured with a core return made more sense for me.

 

Pretty much the hardest most frustrating thing I ever did on my S2000.

 

Thanks for the link I saw that one last night trying to find tips for the front calipers

 

What did you do to get the dust covers back on the front calipers I am having trouble getting it to properly sit in the caliper

 

Dust covers just kind of streech over, harder with all Honda brake lube. I just remember cursing a lot, I think I might have used something to poke them into the slot.

It took hours, never again I say

 

i think im close to that lol

 

I was going to bebuild mine but Cale talked me out of it--he tried it once--once.
