Bay13 Posted May 2, 2005 Report Share Posted May 2, 2005 Ouch! good move on the parts, looks like your caliper is leaking. You will need the pins also, and I'd do the rotors as well.http://www.volvospeed.com/850rbrake1.php Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ceenit Posted May 3, 2005 Report Share Posted May 3, 2005 Ouch, never seen that before. Good pics. The other pad looks in near new condition. Had you had any break work done lately? Had you noticed any signs of wear on the pins? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hum Jim Posted May 3, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2005 I put those in a year ago (EST carbon fiber pads) with my front setup the backs do not do that much work I had to replace the front in February, after three times at the track and 4 at a strip and light driving around. I also noticed that the pins on the other side are lose!!!! I was thinking of letting the new pad resurface the rotor. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrWinkey Posted May 3, 2005 Report Share Posted May 3, 2005 Oh my...you need to tap those pins in flush with the back of the caliper...I use a big pair of channel locks and squeeze them in flush Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KLS Posted May 9, 2005 Report Share Posted May 9, 2005 "Loaded" calipers come with pads. These are reman fronts for $65 each (no photos of the rears, same price).http://www.fcpgroton.com/images/10-9181.jpgKen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
