RE: IML: Rebuilding Budd Calipers

["TomChoice" <tcsibor@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Kenyon,

 

Thank you for the reply. Yes, I did go through the MTS publication, but there was no information directly regarding the caliper rebuild. I have searched the net and the Imperial Archives as well. I know there has to be a trick as brute force would destroy the new seal. I have tried every trick I know of and still no success.  These calipers have been resleeved at one time with stainless steel liners and the new seals are the correct size.

 

Regards

Tom

did you take a look at the club website's Master Technicians Service Conference for 67-69, the years that the budd brakes were used?  I saw a few sessions that looked promising.  Also check the Service Manual (coming to the website soon)?

 

They are on the respective pages...

 

I have a NOS Budd rebuild kit on my shelf.  If you can not locate anything on the website, I will open it and see if there are instructions there.
