    The automatic clearance adjuster for the parking brake was also removed and overhauled with the new seal/o-ring. Then, re-installed and checked for the smooth operation.

    Although all of the thread on the brake calliper and bracket seemed to be cleaned and checked by Bigg Red, I had to carry out extra cleaning process for the bot thread on the bracket and banjo bolt area.

    I must admit, I have on purposely selected probably one of the most rusty and corroded calliper/bracket set to test this service and I am really happy with the result.


    If you are planning to work on your callipers, I would highly recommend using this service.
