Hi all

I thought i would just post a quick message to all of you who are contemplating refurbishing your Sierra/Granada rear disk callipers. The Haynes manual says that to remove the handbrake actuator and its associated components you will need a special Ford spring compression tool.
I managed to remove all the handbrake components and clean the mud out and reassemble in about 1/2 hour. I used no special tools but i did have a cylinder head valve spring compressor and some small jewellers screwdrivers for the removal of the circlips.
Job done with little effort.

Cheers

Julian

As a matter of interest how much did you pay for the rear caliper refurb kit ?

Hi

Including new pads and two refurb kits i paid £40.01 all inclusive

This was fromhttp://www.brakepart.co.uk/enterflash.html

Hope that helps

Thanks very much thats a great help

Those guys also stock the fabled o-rings for M16 calipers. We ordered recon kits for front and rear (M16 and Sierra), new disks and 4x bleed nipples from them too, good service and the people on the other end of the phone seem to know what they are talking about.
