Adam43 2 Report post Posted August 19, 2015 I might check that out especially as the SRF is pretty expensive stuff. And the race car is a whatsit to bleed up! So, 2 1/2 tanks of fuel and a set of yellows later a good time was had by all! :-) The yellows were fine as far as braking performance goes. Felt good, on it straight away, didn't fade over decent stints. However they only just lasted the day, although if I hadn't bothered with the wrap around anti squeal things I'd had almost another couple of mm and another session. Still back to the hardly worn originals with over 30k miles left on them #43 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nerdstrike 186 Report post Posted January 20, 2016 What's the capacity in the brake fluid reservoir like? If fluid gets changed with heavily worn brakes, you can overflow when you push the pistons in to replace the pads, at least on other cars. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've no idea what the capacity is, but when I done mine it overflowed, had to get my mums turkey baster out to suck it out! Worked a treat lol. She wasn't best pleased though. 1 KevinA reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GT86Bob 61 Report post Posted January 1, 2017 I'll be changing my front pads shortly... Will any old calliper rewind tool do the job? Just wondering as I don't have one and they vary in price so much. Cheers, Bob. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mikey P 32 Report post Posted January 1, 2017 Don't think you will need a wind back tool for the fronts (just rears), can use a small g clamp to push piston back in normally. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nikndel 509 Report post Posted January 1, 2017 Don't think you need a wind back tool for rears as I think the handbrake is a separate set up Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nerdstrike 186 Report post Posted January 1, 2017 There is that. But I also owned a Mk7 Celica which had this arrangement and left me without brake fluid when a seal went. I'm not fond of the design. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
