Rear Caliper Rebuild?

So I plan on rebuilding my calipers, but I was wondering if you just unscrew the rear caliper piston to remove it, or if there is some other special technique?
Thanks

Re: Tool set for the Bonnie!

I just bought this set awhile ago, haven't had to use it too much though. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000LY5AKU?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o08_s00 This kit comes with a variety of metric and SAE wrenches as well as deep and shallow well sockets. Stanley seems like a pretty good ...

Re: Brake Lites/Tail Lites 2000 - 2005 Bonneville

Ya, I know what you mean about those prices. I'm no expert in LEDS but I'm pretty sure they actually run cooler than incandescent so they have less chance of melting the lens... don't quote me on that though... :wink:

I have had my lights in for probably about a year now, and they seem absolutely fine. Your looking for lights for your 2005 correct?

Re: Brake Lites/Tail Lites 2000 - 2005 Bonneville

Ok, ya I like the ones I put in, they seem to have a light pattern similar to OEM bulbs, but are noticebly brighter. I think they fit just fine in the housing, they are just slightly longer than an incandescent bulb.

Re: Availability of vacuum hoses??

I bought this kit (in red, though) its sorta expensive, but so far I have no complaints about them.

I'm not sure if your trying to find LEDS that look sorta like the stock bulbs, but I put these in my car and I really like the look of them https://www.superbrightleds.com/moreinfo/tail-brake-turn/3157-led-bulb-dual-function-45-smd-led-tower-wedge-retrofit-car/633/ They are a little more expensive ...

Re: Rear Hub Removal Issue's

If you have access to a pneumatic air hammer, take that and put it on one of the triangle shaped back piece, hammer on one of the "lobes". It should rotate the hub and break it loose, then it should be a lot easier to either tap it out or pry it out.

Re: 00+ tail lights and LED bulbs

Yes, I have leds for my brake lights and side markers. I plan on doing the reverse and turn signals sometime, just haven't gotten around to doing them. You will have to wire in resistors for the turn signals but all the other ones are plug and play. I got my bulbs from here https://www ...

Ok, sounds good, I'm really hoping it is either the accelerometer or yaw sensor, because I'm not a very big fan of working around the steering column... wheel bearings don't really bother me, their pretty easy to do once you have a method that breaks them loose from the steering knuckle.

Service Stability System

Thursday I was backing down my driveway to go to work, and Service Stability System popped up on the DIC, when I left work it was gone, and didn't say that anymore. Now today I was backing down my driveway and this popped up on the DIC again. The weird thing is that I was in about the same location ...

I wasn't able to take as many pictures as I would have hoped, but I did try to get some of the nice cars that showed up at the start and ending locations. Overall the car show part was pretty cool, but the cruise wasn't the best, we drove through downtown Minneapolis, so there was a ton of traffic ...

Awesome looking ride you have there. I love all the subtle interior upgrades you did such as the rear heated seats, moving the "trac off" button and making a heated washer fluid button. Definitely one of the cars on the forum that gives me ideas of things I wish I could figure out how to do...
