Rebuilding Calipers
Discussion
Hi,
Just half way through a rebuild of a set of front 4 pot calipers for my Impreza. I have split them down, cleaned etc, but before painting and re assembling them I'd ask if I need to put a dab of threadlock on the bolts which join them together.
When I took them apart, there was a white power residue on the end of each bolt, so not sure if they are threadlocked from the factory or if it is from something else.
Cheers
Pete

OK , Dab of threadlock it is then, I think though that the calipers are cast, not alloy like the Brembo's on an STi, so not sure what the white powder was, but it's not really that important anyway.
I've cleaned all the bolts up and blasted all the threads out with an airline, so should be good to go this weekend.
Thanks for the advice chaps.
