In doing the front brakes on my 84 505 STI sedan I had to remove a
caliper. I pulled the caliper piston and noticed that the bore of the
caliper was a bit cruddy. I disassembled the caliper, honed the
cylinder and am having the most difficult time getting the cylinder
back on the caliper slide.
I had to walk it off with a brass punch to get the cylinder off of the
slide, but the "walk on" is extraordinarily difficult and, even using a
vise, it doesn't seem to seat all the way. I am certain that the
cylinder is in the right direction with the line-in and bleed nipple
facing upward on the slide.
Does anyone know what I am talking about and, if so, is there some sort
of trick to re-assembly that has eluded me? Though the calipers are
Ate there is no diagram for Ate calipers in my manual. The Teves,
which are covered in my manual, look to be closest to the ones that I
have on the car.
From the "dark territory "again,
Ken
