Using left front caliper as rear caliper


Recommended Posts

It is not a mod it is called using what you happen to have on the shelf

Just for you. I mounted a rear caliper mount plate to a right front caliper and stuck in on an old stock carrier that I had laying around. The tab that holds the stock brake line from turning, just BARELY  hit the stock carrier. Grind just a little bit off the caliper where it hits and it will be fine. The tab is marked with red in this pic. I also stuck it on an 87-88 style carrier. It bolts on just fine, but the carrier will need to be ground out a bit for the banjo bolt to clear the carrier.

The only reason I'm trying this mod is cause I've bought 2 rears and they stick...don't wanna buy a third and it does the same thing...so I figured I have a front laying around I'll try that....and if that sticks, I'll know it's the cylinder. ......unless there's another way to find out if the master cylinder is bad

Did you rebuild either of those calipers? A rebuild kit is like $15.
