Grand Am Rear Brake "Upgrade" (Page 3/3) Mike in Sydney MAR 03, 09:37 PM The Carlson kit looks like it has the bushings. It also appears to have the plastic 2-way valve for the caliper so I'd go for this one. Replace or make sure you thoroughly clean the existing caliper guide pins. Removing any excess grease or dirt from when they were inside the caliper. Coat the pins in a layer of the high temperature brake grease and re-insert the pins back into the caliper housing. theogre MAR 04, 12:21 AM Neither above has slider "bushing." Nearly all Piston "rebuild" kits never has them. Dorman and others has slider "bushings" aka o-rings. I think Dorman has box of 10+ and cheaper then blister pack of 2 or 4.

(But it looked to me like the bushings shown in the FSM exploded view.) Authur, for surety, go with what the Ogre says.Mike Mike in Sydney MAR 04, 04:55 AM quote Originally posted by theogre: Neither above has slider "bushing." Nearly all Piston "rebuild" kits never has.

I was eyeballing the ten pack, but didn't want to bother getting them if the kit already came with them. What about the ebrake hardware? On a previous purchase, the rebuilt caliper came with all new hardware. I can strip down and replate what I've got, but if there's an out-of-the-box solution that's reasonable, I'd rather go that route. Mike in Sydney MAR 04, 06:37 PM Check The Fiero Store. They have e-brake springs, cables, & levers. There's also a Caliper Boot Kit that includes new caliper bolt boots, brake pad clips and slider seals. (I know some folks aren't enamored with TFS but I've had pretty good luck with them. Shipping costs to Australia, however, are way too expensive.) BTW, I have no financial stake and get no benefit from recommending you check TFS. I'm just sharing my experience.

I think The Fiero Store is a great resource. But, I've also discovered that with some looking, I can find the exact item for significantly less. I've definitely got some specialty parts for which I'll be needing them in the future, but - well, let's take a rear caliper, for example. I don't relish paying nearly double getting it through them. This is a budget build. ArthurPeale AUG 24, 04:35 PM Well, it's been a few months. During that time I just went and became an expert on the workings of Fiero calipers (at least 1984 - 1987). Now I can tear them down and rebuild them fairly easily. Made a YouTube video about the front calipers, I'll follow up with one about the rear at some point in the future.
