Front brakes...

I had to use a torch to put the calipers apart; surprising for a LHM car.


Someone banged up these pistons badly...


The felt rings were hard and brittle.


Ready for the new O rings and felt coming from Dave Burnham.


Three pistons had marking but my dentist tool did not grab, so some polishing did the trick. Each piston is $95; pretty good saving there...


The 4th piston was deeply pitted; could not save this one.


I had to use a torch also to open the 2 spare calipers.


Phew, one of them was good; some polishing and another $95 saved!


Ready to be rebuild.


The disks on the part car were thicker. i removed the rust and install them.


Also, the parking brake pads were better on the part car (The old one on this pic).
