Hey Jim.....deglazed with a smooth file before I put them back together first time around but no joy. I've read somewhere that if you seriously overheat pads the resin binder deteriorates badly and irreversibly affects them (?) Anyhoo....put the 6 pots on yesterday and they're shaping up nicely, nee...

Everything appears to be ok, but a lot of crap around the two small holes feeding the mastercylinder piston.

'87 Genesis Brake Caliper Strip

If not what torque figures should be used when bolting them together? <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :\ --><img src=http:/...
