Got the rounded bolt off !!! Slider now seized.
I went to change the rear rotors and found that one of the caliper bracket bolts on each side on my Integra had the head rounded. I tried the Craftsman kit and it worked.
The Craftsman damaged bolt remover is amazing! Pure genious design, who ever thought of that was brillant: the spiral flutes. Got both bolts off with some muscle. As long as it wasn't slipping it was easy to work with. I found one of the sliders seized. Has anyone free-ed up a slider? I have it soaking in oil. Or if anyone has a rear bracet for a 94 Integra let me know. http://ca.geocities.com/mecheng77@rogers.com/kit1.JPG http://ca.geocities.com/mecheng77@rogers.com/kit2.JPG http://ca.geocities.com/mecheng77@ro...om/fu_bolt.JPG http://ca.geocities.com/mecheng77@ro.../fu_slider.JPG |
Yup, what I did was completely remove the bracket from the hub. Then I when to town on the slider by using BFH to hit it loose. After I got it loose, I pulled the slider out and cleaned off all the old grease both on the pin and inside the hole the slider pin resides on the caliper bracket. Then I grabbed some sandpaper and began sanding the rust/surface imperfections off of the slider pin. Once I was done that, I cleaned out the slider pin boot of all the old grease. Then I greased everything back up with some fresh brake caliper grease from crappy tire. It's in a black package that sits on top of the parts counter for like .25 cents.

Ya I went to town on it w/ a rubber mallet, it came lose.
What do you guys use for lubrication on your brakes. Currently I use: a)Anit Seize for the pad sliding area (because it doesn't wash off) b)Silicon grease in the slider boot assym |
Disc brake caliper lube for all brake lube points.
Lube your sliders every spring...or whenever you have the caliper off. Check those boots for cracks and tears. Preventative maintenance rocks :) |
