Its looking good. I'm glad to see your'e making progress. You just need to spray those rotors and calipers with brake clean.

Best regards, FASTERGT

Q: The new calipers of course have all new stuff in them. The piston's have the rubber boot around them in the inside, but I noticed that there is a metal snap ring around the base of the rubber boot that surrounds the pistons. Do I remove this before installation? It just seems ODD that is there unless it is there in an attempt to hold the rubber boot along the length of the piston as it extends during braking. Comments?

The snap ring is placed in a groove at the entrance to the master cylinder. It is required to prevent the pistons from coming out of the master cylinder.

No, I've already assembled and finished the MC rebuild. This is a metal ring around the base or face of the caliper pistons themselves. A the base of the caliper piston where the piston would meet with the brake pad just about at the edge of the piston around the rubber accordian style boot that surrounds each caliper piston there is a metal ring. Should this remain there? or do I take it off? I guess I'll have to see about getting a pic up.
