Hey all
Id just like to kindly know how one would manage to get the "guides" back inbetween the Cylinder Assembly and cylinder mounting on the front brake setup on a TA22 WITHOUT the use of a very strong clamp and a hammer

Do you mean you need to release pressure of the piston to get the clips back on? if so release the bleed screw for the calipers and the piston will go down and tighten in back up again and clip it back togher. but remember to re bleed the system u really have to anyway.
hope this helps
Daniel.

I find with most discs that I replace on cars that when a clamp doesnt do much good, take the caliper in both hands and press both thumbs into the pot and strong arm it back into the caliper. Good thing about this is that you can vary the amount of pressure you place across different area's of the pot which (if it's a little sticky in places) makes a big difference, clamps only apply pressure in the one place which doesnt work real well when it's not going back in evenly.

no i didnt bleed my brakes
there shouldnt be any air in the system
no im not talking about JUST after u do pads,how u have to pump the pedal a few times to get it back to normal
like i drove around for nearly 2 days and the pedal would almost touch the floor
but yesterday i depressed it and i felt a harsh click....and ever since that....the position of where the pedal is on full depression is back to how it should be
any ideas ??
safe to drive ?
Thanx
Mani
