F*cking AE86 brake problems!!!

[goodcookiedrift]

I pulled off my passenger side wheel and inspected the caliper....its leaking brake fluid from the piston!!!!! slow leak mind you but still leaking! wtf???

what the hell is wrong? and how can i fix it? these brakes were just rebuilt last summer and everyone knows how frequently i drive this thing....like once in a blue moon.

its pissing me off.

it still brakes hard and crisp and the only time i got fade was the last few laps at shannonville.

maybe they didn't rebuild it properly, tough call, but do a little seal inspection.

Hey Nick,

did you get the castings hot tanked and honed before you installed the rebuild kit?


I hear that makes a huge diff in the lifespan.
