  1. Still great resources. And way easier to search than FB. Happy New Year! hn
  2. Thank you! So here are a few images of what I see. https://imgur.com/a/7bHZUkA The shaft does not get ‘pushed down’ when the wedge is pushed. I 3d printed some clamps to compress the spring washers in hopes that would give enough space, it did not. In fact most of them broke. Finally I used the arch of the clamp on the shaft and even clamping down on that I could not get the shaft to align with the hole. I only took apart the one caliper, so I wouldn’t mix pieces or add too many spring washers to one. Techboy was kind enough to PM me, but unfortunately for me it still hasn’t worked. Any advice would be appreciated. hn ETA: on the FSM, pg 5-56 para 20 (4-6) says to screw in the spindle until it rotates freely, then push the spring washers and screw the spindle in with a screwdriver. I have screwed the spindle in until if I turn it, it just aligns the ‘key way’ for the wedge. Is there more screwing in required?
  3. Had some work and personal trips, then have been avoiding this. Tried it again, and when I ‘push’ the wedge it just slides right to the end and doesn’t affect the angle of the shaft. In trying to upload pictures, what is everyone using for hosting these days? not sure it will help, but there is a chance. hn
  4. Good afternoon everyone. This car never ceases to let me know how terrible I am at working on cars. Have a question on assembling the rear caliper. I am trying to follow Kev’s guide, but it isn’t working. The seventh picture has the pin and lever and he says push the key towards the bottom of the caliper. Assume that means towards the uninstalled bearing, and away from the bleeder port laterally in the picture, but that does nothing to align the pin to the installed bearing. I can continue to turn the ‘screw’ portion forever, so I do not think it is still out. The screw portion that holds the key is in the way of pushing the pin through enough I can’t push down, toward the caliper piston to align the pin. Any sage advice? thank you! hn
  5. I have used the way back machine and this link a few times, but without the pictures it is very difficult to get the point. That is a prime reason why I was asking if anyone had a copy, either downloaded or printed or something, of them? hn
  6. Thank you! With the new system I lost my old posts and forgot that I would need to start over. Greatly appreciate the help! hn
  7. Good afternoon everyone. I started a topic about the SOS manuals and trying to find a copy, either zip or link. I was directed to the way back machine, but I am unable to find the reply button anywhere to further that conversation. I am having some questions on the rear calipers also, so want to get this figured out so I can attempt to do better on them. thank you! hn
  8. So, this has come up a few times. Does anyone have them still? Would love to have them either hosted here or in a PDF for download somewhere. Would be willing to kick in some money for funding if necessary to make it happen. Any hopes? -noob
