Mis matched calipers 200

posted by  someone claiming to be bobski on  Mon Sep 27 14:35 CST 2004 [RELATED]

I often read about replacing calipers in pairs. I have a sheared off bleeder on a caliper and one of the bolts for the ball joint mount is sheared off, so i got a donor srutspindlecaliper and will rebuild with new inner outer tie rods ball joints struts etc.. My question is will the two used calipers, my original, and the new donor cause any problems they both have about the same wear and tear. I should have pulled both sides but i didn't have the cash with me to get both. Went back today to get the pass. side and the crusher got to it first.Should i try to remove the busted bleeder off my original. Thanks.

No need to replace both calipers. Just the problem one.

You could try to remove the broken bleeder screw using an "easy-out" bit or try drilling it out with progressively larger bits since you already have a centered hole.

I found using a deep socket (5/16" ?) to first crack the bleeder screw loose works better than using a wrench as it grips better.
