Rear Brake Caliper 1995 Cabriolet (breaking '95 Cabby Anyone?)

[Beano47]

Hi All,

When I bought my '95 cabriolet it had a stuck piston in the driver's side rear caliper. Really stuck; I had to remove the caliper and knock the piston out with a curved drift through the banjo bolt hole! I carefully removed the piston from the rubber boot, (leaving the boot in the caliper with its circlip) and stuck my finger in with some fine emery paper and polished the inside. I cleaned & polished the piston and replaced it in the caliper (getting the boot back in the groove in the piston was tedious - that's why I didn't disturb the other end in the caliper.) All was fine until recently, when I get an intermittent scraping sound immediately after braking, which disappears after a little while. Ahh! Lazy piston!

So - Anyone breaking a '95 or Gen6 Jap import Cabriolet? I'd like a rear offside caliper - and possibly a nearside rear quarter window glass with the attached metal bracket and little plastic guide wheels. Oh - and a passenger interior door panel - previous owner's dog has nastily scratched the vinyl on mine.

Yours hopefully,

Roger
