Front caliper rebuild
Just recieved a rebuild kit from our host and i am goin to attempt to rebuild my front calipers or should i say the calipers that were in a box when i bought thge car. Im not even sure i have everything i need. I looked in the tech article section. Great decription but i like pics. They are from a 1970 1.7 I have split both and glass bead blasted them but not the pistons. I will clean those buy hand. If any one has done this andkept pics and procedures i would greatly appreciate the help. I am an aircrafdt mech by trade and love working on my 3k barn find. feel ree to look at the pics and offer any advice. I am new to the teener. the car is immaculate but the owner passed before he could finish her. i am looking forward to brinnging her back to life! Thanks!

Calipers
Well I hope you have more luck than I did. Rebuilt mine and they leaked and leaked.
Bought a pair of rebuilt 320i calipers.they bolt right on and I haven't looked back. |

I learned that the o rings for the bolts when you split them get missed a lot because they dont come in a rebuild kit i overlooked them and bought a o ring kit recently
