Rear calipers

The Gas Man · 6th February 2017, 18:09

Just ordered a couple of rear calipers, £40.00 each, we'll see how we get on! Old ones 180,000mls locked solid!

Not too bad a mileage for the original calipers though.---

Good luck with the change over.--

Did you have to return old one in exchange ?

No Walter, just buy what you need

These have a 36mm piston so no good for a ZT/ZT-T 160/180/190 because if I remember correctly, they have a 40mm piston.
Of course, I coud be wrong but I'm sure I've come across this before.

Ah but, then you fill in the model details as needed

the linked post is for the 1.8's etc

No, these are not for the 160 upwards. No exchange needed and free delivery!

On trying to fit new pads to the old calipers it was impossible to get the pistons back enough, even after removing the caliper and trying to force the piston back with a pry bar it would not move, and if it did it would have led to trouble! But can't complain after 182,000mls, the ZT still drives like a 3yr old car, and looks like one too!
