Rear brakes

GREEN MACHINE · 24th June 2008, 11:22

Afternoon everybody, please can anyone tell me if the rear callipers from a ZT 2.5 190 are the same as the ones from a ZT 2.5 160 ? I know the discs are a different size !!
Also when one of the callipers is sticking am I better off replacing the whole calliper or overhauling the existing one ?
And lastly how much does a new rear calliper cost compared to just the kit, many thanks

Corrosion can cause the pads to stick in the guides, so it's worth checking this before condeming the caliper iitself.

Just done my rear brakes (a 75 so the same as the 160, not the 190) and the pads were sticking but the calipers were fine.

Because the discs have a different diameter, the callipers are different sizes.

This exploded diagram with part numbers may help: http://66.163.168.225/babelfish/tran...c%2fr%2f123726
As ever, the 'of's are silent.
