Toyota MR2 Rear Brake Rebuild!

Welcome back!
So its been a while since I have done some proper work on the mr2 as I have just been tinkering along trying to finish off the body work during the other projects but today I am going to make a start on the mechanicals!
So I am starting with the rear brakes as all the brakes need a massive refresh and the rears are going to be the worst ones to do!
I'm gonna be powder coating these to try and get the best finish and replace all of the rubber bushing and seals etc as I go along!
Bits I used:
• Front brake kit ebay.us/7sPgaS
• Front carrier bolts ebay.us/xCKBP8

Awh I came here to see how you get the old rusty one off and you fast forwarded through that bit without any voice over or text typed tips.

[@TrackAndBeyond]

Sorry bud the old one came off super easy to be fair

[@josephinnes70]

Hi Jason. Big joe from Glasgow here. The orange callipers look great very good contrast to the black paint. It's a ton of work but it'll be worth it. Great video. Cheers

[@TrackAndBeyond]

Cheers Joe! Yea I’m chuffed with how they look want to do some of the suspension complements in the same colour just to add some extra detail. As you say ton of work but will be worth it! Jason

[@povilaslondon]

how did to took off and put back handbrake spring? Any tips?

[@TrackAndBeyond]

I used a couple of pair of pliers and kind of sprung it’s self together and pulled it off

[@001dman]

that new piston, did it require cutting the old piston to get the nut out of it?

[@TrackAndBeyond]

Yes mate have to cut the old piston up and get the handbrake mech out of it then put it inside the new piston and apply the circlip. Hope that helps

[@001dman]

@@TrackAndBeyond appreciate it. got one caliper apart. the others so seized its taking a bath inside and out in kroil. looks like i'll be cutting up the piston for the one apart later today

[@TrackAndBeyond]

Awesome, one of mine was quite seized and wasn’t fun so I know your pain 🤣

[@001dman]

@@TrackAndBeyond the first one took about an hour, an oxy-acetylene torch and prayer L😅

[@TrackAndBeyond]

🤣👌🏻

Hi Jason, just in relation to the caliper cylinder. You said you replaced it, I am in the process of rebuilding mine and I'm wondering how you removed the internals of the old cylinder

[@TrackAndBeyond]

Hey bud, you have to grind or cut the piston to release the mechanism. I did this on the one side as it was badly pitted however on the other side it was pretty good and I just cleaned it up with some fine sand paper. Hope that helps Jason

[@bradleywesterford3587]

regarding the rear brake caliper, how do you release the top main pin to separate the caliper from the bracket? mine will pivot, but I can't pull it off.

[@TrackAndBeyond]

Pivot it up so it clears the brake pads and pull it toward the inside of the arch. Could be. A bit seized maybe

[@bradleywesterford3587]

@@TrackAndBeyond Yeah it was definitely seized! Had to pull the little metal cap off and pound the pin out. All good now tho. Guess that 35 year old grease gets a little sticky! :) Thanks for the help.

[@TrackAndBeyond]

Ahah yea sadly they start to fight back a bit more! Glad your all good 👌🏻

[@Lorender1236]

Is this a na model or the turbo

[@TrackAndBeyond]

This is an N/A model although brakes are pretty much the same
