Has anyone ever tried to rebuild brake calipers? I bought a Brake caliper
rebuild kit from VBL part# 7-640 for my 69 GT6+. I have been unable to
install the new rubber boots with the metal clip ring. I can easily put the
old ones on, but they have cracks in the rubber. The new ones are made a
little different and of course they didn't come with instructions. I tried
heating the boots by putting them in very hot water first with no luck. It
looks like if I split the caliper it might be a little easier, but I'm not
sure if that would break a seal that would never seal again. I'm ready to
give up and buy rebuilt calipers. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Rob
