Thank you so much for making this video! My caliper was sticking as well and i didnt know where to start. This is exactly what i needed. Great job!

classic auto repair can be very satisfying

I'm with you there. At the time I did this job, new calipers were around $300 a piece! I guess that's not bad for a 43 year old car, but way more than I was willing to spend. Maintaining your bank balance is good. That way, you can buy even more parts! :-)

Nice video, thanks for you work and time.

You're welcome. I hope this video helps. Good luck with your repair. Most of the time, you can just purchase new calipers but with a 43 year old car, that's becoming less and less of an option. Besides, rebuilding them myself allowed me to maintain the originality of this vehicle.

good and clear,thanks

Great video. I was able to R & R the pistons and seals. All went together without issue, however I can't seem to get the dust covers to on over the shoulder surrounding the piston. If anyone has a suggestion on how to do this, please post a reply. Thanks!

[@hetmanbasza]

Have you had re-freeze happen to you where pistons were frozen once?

[@DonavanAarons]

Save a ton of difficulty and just split the calliper
