freakydeaky Posted August 19, 2015 Report Share Posted August 19, 2015 I've posted a couple of times before months ago... when I had agreed to purchase a Starion, and the deal fell through...So, I found one... was a gift from my wife on my birthday June 18th, and thought I'd do an official intro....Already put a ton of work into her... last thing before she's drivable are the brakes. The rear calipers are seized, both of them.This Starion is so different from my other Mitsu's, night and day And yeah, I'm a crazy Mitsu guy, just sayin'.My 87 Starion ESI-R.

importwarrior Posted August 19, 2015 Report Share Posted August 19, 2015 Welcome!the rear calipers piston has to be twisted while pressing them inthey are like threaded in.i use this tool to press and twist them in with a socket wrench and extension. http://static.summitracing.com/global/images/eventimages/brake_pads/600/wmr-w80621_cp.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freakydeaky Posted August 20, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2015 thanks guys..neither one will twist, the rear rubber boots on the back of the calipers are shot and have allowed crap to get in... I've even soaked them with wd40 several nights in a row hoping to at least get them twist Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
87redcat Posted August 20, 2015 Report Share Posted August 20, 2015 welcome aboard. Had the same problem with 87 rears. Ended up finding some at Oreill's for about 90 a piece.you might find a good set on here from one of the guys parting out their quest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
