Rear Brake Caliper Needed
« on: March 04, 2012, 09:22:25 am »
A gentleman emailed the club asking if anyone had a right rear caliper for an 84-87 Fiero. 

Anyone able to help him out?

3.    The rest of them have to pee on the electric fence and find out for themselves.    Will Rogers

I have 2 brand new calipers at the shop but I can't remember if they are front or rear. I think they are fronts. But the calipers car be rebuilt.

The man didn't say where he was located.  I've asked him that question.  When he responds, I'll let him know.  Verify whether they're front or rear and let us know.  Thanks

ditto for me. I recently discovered while replacing the right rear parking brake cable that my remaned right rear caliper has the piston screw from a left rear in it. I can tell this because the caliper will lock up when pulling UP(cable at rest) on the cable arm. When pushing down(cable engaged) the rotor will spin freely. After fighting this for a while and doing for research, I discovered that this has been fairly common. I wish I would have realized this when I installed the caliper but I knew the cable was broke and didn't connect it until recently. I did get the left caliper adjusted and the parking brake set using the orge's instructions, and it holds somewhat, but 2 is better one.

so if anyone has an OLD right rear with CORRECT parking brake screw, let me know.

If the screw has threads in a different direction, would the piston also be different?
