I job I'd been wanting to do since I got the van a six months old.
The brake calipers very quickly look tired on these Transporters, so I've started on the rear while the van is inside.
I wanted to do a half decent job, so I removed the caliper, handbrake cable and actuater arm, but left the hose attached which allows it to move enough.
Removed the pads and the caliper carrier and cleaned to whole lot up with a small wire brush.
I've also removed the disc which I've cleaned and masked off ready for a coat of paint.
I put a plastic bag over the hub and cut some cardboard to stop overspray hitting the van.
I removed the caliper sliders and put two 10mm bungs in there as well as a 10mm cap over the bleed screw.
I also masked off the piston and seals.
I've given the caliper one coat and will let it dry and give it another as well as the disc and carrier.
I'm not in a rush so will add more photos as I complete each one.
