I need rear calipers
Anyone know where to find these? They are for a 2000 H1. Brakes are working but the ebrake portion seems to be seized up. Is there a way to free them or is it time to be replaced? Also looking for a seal kit for the RF hub.

Re: I need rear calipers
The rear brake calipers are the same as the front and will bolt right up. You can get the fronts for under $45 each from NAPA. The only issues is that you won't have an emergency brake.
Personally I don't think this is a big deal, but it will get you running and back on the road. Then you can take your time to dismantle the original brake caliper and rebuild it. Provided the internals are OK. A new rear brake caliper is a few hundred dollars, and the rebuild kit is under $100 depending on what you need. Canuck 4X4 can get you the parts you need if you don't want to do the short cut.
I have two original rear brake calipers sitting on my work bench to be torn down, and am running front calipers on the rear, the piston bore is the same and so braking performance isn't affected. Just no emergency brake.

Re: I need rear calipers
The whole point is that I need the e-brake for commercial safety inspection so I have to get the proper ones. Waxman is hooking me up with some new ones.

Re: I need rear calipers
I have rebuilt units in stock. New calipers right now have an issue of leaking right off the go.

caliper size is the same, internals all the same. Just the e brake was added.
Anyone that does do off roading will need the e cable as a safety for some of the really tough spots to sit or to repair the truck.
Always remember the safety when off roading so you can do it again and again.

Re: I need rear calipers
E brake? What's that? Does that have anything to do with the bar by the shifter?

Re: I need rear calipers
When the rear emerg. brake starts to stick the best thing I find to do is to disconnect the emerg. cable at each caliper. Use vice grips and a good quality lube ( I like to use rust check spray ). Work the emerg. brake lever back and forth until it is working again. Put the emerg. cables back on. Once a month I spray a little lube at the emerg. brake pivot point on each calliper. I have not had a problem since I did that and its over 2 years ago. They tend to seize up due to lack of use.

very wise move, I tend to lube all calipers when the trucks come in for any service.
