Re: Clutch question

Just out of curiosity, i CAN use a passenger side caliper on the driver's side, correct? From looking very closely at the two, the only noticeable difference i see is that the bleed valve would be on the bottom instead of the top if i were to swap the two calipers...Is there any other difference that I should be concerned about? Such as brake failure, etc? Because I messed the driver's side caliper up and I have a lifetime warranty on a passneger side caliper at auto zone...So I was gonna take advantage of that if there isn't any harm...

Re: Clutch question

They are the same beside the bleed valve so your fine.

Re: Clutch question

Air bubbles rise, which is why the bleed valve is always on the top. I'm not sure it will work so good on the bottom.

Re: Clutch question

dont bolt them up and turn them so that the bleed valve is up while you bleed them, then flip them over and bolt them up.

Re: Clutch question

That's a creative solution. How do you keep the pistons in, clamps? Or do they not try to pop out when the bleeder is open?

Re: Clutch question

Well I found a solution...Forgot that I had a good caliper from the Spyder. So I used that one and got my free one from Auto Zone. So that worked out well. Bled the shit out of the brake system and I have a very nice brake pedal now. Good damn thing I bled the brakes when I did because I almost hit a deer earlier tonight on the highway doing 70. That wouldn't have been pretty...Next thing to fix is the damn turn signal switch. I had to pull the turn signal fuse a while ago because out of nowhere, my left turn signal stayed on constantly and the right wouldn't work at all so I'm assuming it's the switch. Luckily I have a spare from the Spyder Oh, btw when I had the motor out I took out the A/C condensor and took the compressor off the motor...No need for A/C being that it's winter and I always have the windows down in the summer. I think it's helping with airflow to the radiator because my motor doesn't get over 170 or so, it's usually around 160 driving. Not to mention it's cold as hell here too...Thanks for the help guys.
