Re: Slider bolt problems
Do you have the shop manual dude? You should really read it before undertaking these projects or you could get hurt. IE: Shot in the eye with brake fluid etc... You got shot with brake fluid cause you are supposed to 1. Bleed the fluid out of the lines and 2. Advisable - Remove the caliper from the car and work with it on a bench/desk/table. Still there will be residual brake fluid in the caliper itself when you blow out the pistons so you should also put a rag or shop towels over it as you are blowing the air through to block splatter.
If you cannot SET the amount of PSI on your air compressing device then do not use the tool to blow out the pistons. If there's an air gauge on the air compressor you have that "builds up" as it charges with air perhaps you could time it by watching it build up to 10 PSI and/or no more than 15-20 psi and when the pistons come out pull it off immediately. Just be careful. I wouldn't use an air compressor though that I couldn't "set" the PSI for. On most air compressors you have an air tank "pressure available" gauge and an a "pressure to apply" gauge. Thats just what i'm calling them as thats what they are for. Once the available pressure gets low enough the tank kicks on to meet the "pressure to apply" gauge's demand.
