putting front calipers together 1979 850g

[Guest]

Let me lead with this. I tried to search for it a few times but everytime this came up: Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 33554432 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 262144 bytes) in /home/thegsres/public_html/_forum/search.php on line 1160
Using fewer search terms didn't help me much. So I don't know the correct order or placement of some parts and the part fiches weren't helping me much. My rebuild kit also seems to have an extra piece or two as far as I can tell.

So I'm here to ask for help now. I ordered the rebuild kit from z1 enterprises and it says it for rebuilding one caliper only so I got two. This is the z1 brake kit. And here are the parts inside the kit.

I can't seem to find a home for that smaller ring, but other than that there are two pieces of the other three parts in the kit. Is this kit right? Is the kit for both calipers? I'm at a loss.

Here are the parts that I have from my caliper I am unsure about:

Two of these... things...

How do these fit into the caliper? I thought it was part 5 on this but I ordered those and got two rubber O-Rings. So where do these parts go?

Are there O-rings that go on these?

And I'm not sure of the correct way to install these.

I know you guys are better at searching than I am (not for lack of trying, I've opened probably 15 different posts and gone through basscliff's site) so if someone knows of a good write up on putting these brakes back together that would also be helpful. The ones on basscliff's site are for different styles calipers.

The kit is for your rear brake caliper - not the front.

Hi,

Your search terms are returning too many results. Try an "advanced" search using fewer terms, more specific terms, search only a specific section of the forum instead of "all open forums", or search "titles only". See: How To Search The GSR Forum.

Have a look at this too (found it on some guy's website):

The little O ring goes between the caliper halves

Well. I feel dumber now.
