    Arrived yesterday, dropped them off last night, and after some mild grinding of the caliper to clean up the chamber, it fitted like a glove applause.gif1

     

    Massive props to @shebabby for pointing me in the right direction on ebay.

     

    For anyone else in Internet land who needs needle roller bearings with a hole for honda brake caliper handbrake mechanisms, you need 

     

    7E-HKS BA1012 Needle Roller Bearing with Hole 15.875x20.638x19.05mm

     

    I got mine from the seller named cardiff-deals

  2. There easy enough to do your self if you have a mechanical understanding of some degree lol I finished mine last night and it only cost £40 to rebuild both rears and roughly about same again to do the front ones next. But if you’re not confident then I would suggest to have someone who is capable of doing the job as it’s safety over cost after all.

    So I'm getting my calipers refurbished by a local chap who normally does Jag brakes. He's hit a bit of a brick wall with the rears, as it seems that whoever reconditioned them last used some sort of plastic sleeve instead of the needle bearings for the handbrake mechanism, which has now disintegrated (probably due to the heat of a siezed handbrake.....). 

     

    Now, honda don't seem to sell (or even list a part number) for the needle roller bearings, and trawling through the Internet seems to confirm this. 

     

    What I'm trying to find out is what is used when calipers are remanufactured - any chance that anyone knows? 

     

    I've seen on a forum in America that someone found a brass sleeve in their remanufactured ones for a teg. 

     

    Obviously why they don't tend to last as long as the original ones. 

    Im doing mine at the moment lol 

    could you not use a piece of brass plate and bend it around the pin to shape it. It’s not a proper fix but will last alot longer than plastic mate

  6.  hi mate

    iv had a few cars do that to me banghead.gif1

    i suggest to get ur mate to pull on the lever constantly while you push and pull it from the inside .

    if its just stuck it should open eventually if not then you will be taking a trip to the local garage .
