GPdriver1986 Posted July 3, 2003 Report Posted July 3, 2003 What should I do to prevent the rear calipers from seizing up? I was thinking that maybe if I just leave it in Park and not touch the e-brake. Quote
Guest TurboSedan Posted July 3, 2003 Report Posted July 3, 2003 '94+ rear brake upgrade or anti sieze the hell out of the sliders. my $.02 joshua Quote
god910 Posted July 4, 2003 Report Posted July 4, 2003 Don't drive a gen. 1 w-body. Seriously though, there was a HUGE debate about this not too long ago, and we couldn't come up w/ a fershur 100% gaurNteed fix. Quote
kiwi133 Posted July 4, 2003 Report Posted July 4, 2003 How do you take the sliders out of the calipers anyway? When I did my rear rotors and pads I didn't bother looking because mine still moved ok. Quote
Baddflash Posted July 5, 2003 Report Posted July 5, 2003 Another thing is you have to use them so they don't seize, I try yo use it at least once a week and I pump them quite a few times releasing in between. Quote

The Burning Rom Posted July 5, 2003 Report Posted July 5, 2003 '94+ rear brake upgrade I'd go with that option. I own 4 pre-94 Grand Prixs, and only ONE of them has rear brakes that are working 100%. Odd thing is, that is the one car I drive in the snow :? Anyway..I'd go with the upgrade. It's not that hard to do. And it's a lot easier to change pads with the new calipers. The new calipers are also A LOT cheaper than the old faulty ones....and the rotor size will increase. Quote
