Nice job. Great presentation. I was fortunate enough to have a local shop available which specialized in rebuilding clutch disks and brakes. They took my shoe and pad cores and mated new pads, and bonded new linings for my brake assemblies at 1/2 the price from an antique parts store. Across the pond, Narragansett Bay, Portsmouth

that was some good work, you should have replaced the seals on and in the brake caliper while you had it all apart though, it's not that big of a job. understand it could be hard finding the exact seal kit for this model but t would have been worth while to explain to people how the caliper works and what to expect when dealing with rusted components. i have seen pitted brake pistons in my time which don't allow the inner seal retract the piston when it has been compressed, this can and does cause a dangerous situation where the pads are in constant contact with the Rim, this can and does cause the rim to super heat and pop the wheel leaving the owner/operator very confused and stranded potentially.
@InitialDave6 жыл бұрын
I think the seal kit probably is available, but the piston was in decent nick and everything seemed fairly happy, so I'm not that concerned - I can get it apart easily enough if I need to in the future.

Glad I found this. I have a 1986 Daihatsu Skywing in Taiwan which I THINK has a bad front bearing. This model is, AFAIK, undocumented and without spares, but has very similar brakes to the ones shown here (Small differences noted include front hub nut has a split pin, rear has a crowsfoot clip, and the rear shaft is smooth rather than splined.) Based on horror stories about other cars with "captive rotors" (e.g. Honda Accord) I was rather dreading getting into it, but that didn't look too bad, though maybe you got a bit lucky. Assuming the hub and disk separate OK, how difficult do you thnk it would be to replace the bearings?
@InitialDave4 жыл бұрын
It can sometimes be fun getting bearings out, especially when it's a blind hole so you can't tap it oyt from the other side and it's been in there for decades! However, if you're replacing the bearing, the advantage is you don't have to worry about destroying the old one, so if one of the races isn't budging, you can carefully cut or grind a slit in it (e.g. with a Dremel) to give it some flex and get it loose. Just have to be careful not to be too aggressive and damage the casting or shaft the bearing is fitted to.
@edlithgow43604 жыл бұрын
@@InitialDave Thanks. Do you think its possible to read the bearing codes (often stamped on the shell) with it taken apart to the extent you show? Its now difficult to get parts for this car, but if I had the bearing code I might be able to source them from a bearing supplier, if they are standard ones used in other things,
@InitialDave4 жыл бұрын
@@edlithgow4360 I'd expect so, yes, and assuming they're something "normal" like a taper roller, I'd expect them to be available from a bearing specialist.

@@InitialDave Thanks I downloaded a Mira workshop manual which seems very similar, and they suggest using a puller on the hub, as you did for one of them. That's encouraging, but there seems to be general concern about wrecking bearings doing this on "captive rotor "'designs. Here''s Eric the Car Guy on this, at about 1 min 40 secs in. kzbin.info/www/bejne/i5rVq4t7otOrjMU He's talking about the Honda Accord. I dunno if this is less of a risk with the Daihatsu design, or you just got lucky. Oddly, no bearing replacement procedure seems to be specified in the Mira manual, though checking for excess free play is mentioned. I suppose you either press out the bearing from the hub (I'd probably have to outsource that) or replace the whole hub, which in my case might not be available.
