How to purchase a caliper overhaul kit and remove the caliper from the caliper bracket for Buick Skylark,Oldsmobile Omega and Pontiac Phoenix?

Purchase a caliper overhaul kit which contains all of the necessary replacement parts. Remove the caliper from the caliper bracket and remove the pads from the caliper. In this operation, the inlet brake line should be removed from the caliper. To minimize brake fluid leakage, it can be plugged by fitting a short piece of rubber hose, the same diameter as the connection, over the line, inserting a suitable bolt in the free end and clamping it. Use clean rags to pad the inside of the caliper. If you have access to compressed air, place an air nozzle into the caliper inlet hole and slowly apply air until the piston is forced out of its bore. CAUTION: Do not use your fingers to try and catch the piston as serious injury could result. If you do not have access to compressed air, hold the caliper with the inlet hole up and carefully bang the caliper down on a block of wood to force the piston out. As a last resort, temporarily re-install the brake line to the caliper and have an assistant depress the brake pedal. The fluid pressure will force the piston out. Inspect the piston for scoring, nicks, corrosion and worn or damaged chrome plating, and replace it if necessary. Remove the dust boot by prying with a screwdriver. Be careful not to scratch the housing bore. Remove the piston seal from its groove with a wood or plastic dowel. Do not use a metal tool here, as it could damage the bore. Inspect the caliper bore for scoring, nicks, corrosion or wear. Light corrosion can be removed with crocus cloth. If crocus cloth will not clean up the bore, the caliper housing must be replaced. Remove the bleeder screw. Clean the piston and housing bore and bleeder screw with denatured alcohol. Do not use gasoline or mineral-based solvents. Lubricate the bore and the new piston seal with clean brake fluid and install the seal in its groove. Be sure the seal is not twisted. Install the new dust boot onto the groove of the piston. Insert the piston in its bore and press it down, working it through its seal until it bottoms. Seat the new dust boot in the caliper bore. Install the bleeder screw. Apply multi-purpose lithium grease at all surfaces where the caliper assembly meets the caliper bracket. Complete the operation.

Buick Skylark Brake Calipers

Brake Caliperss are used in the Buick Skylark models and play a significant function of the braking system by changing the pressure that is hydraulic from the master cylinder to mechanical force. This force works to sandwich the brake pads between the rotors and apply a steady pressure to the rotors and therefore slow down or even bring the vehicle to a standstill. Buick Skylark models utilize two primary types of brake calipers: The two types of pavilions include fixed and floating. Uponu fixed calipers consist of multiple pistons on both side of the rotor for better pressure and performance. On the other hand, floating calipers have pistons on one side and slide while applying pressure and so have problems such as uneven wearing off of the pad if not well checked. As time went by, Buick Skylark brake calipers were changed, new options being original equipment (OE) intended for driving and performance calipers for better braking and looks. Performance calipers can also have features such as the use of lightweight materials in making the calipers and high-temperature seals and other features that may be needed depending on the performance characteristics of the vehicle and the driver. In order to maintain the high performance and safety of the product, it is crucial to perform the regular inspection and maintenance of the brake caliper.

Each OEM Buick Skylark Brake Calipers we offer is competitively priced and comes with the assurance of the manufacturer's warranty for the part. Furthermore, we guarantee the speedy delivery of your orders right to your doorstep. Our hassle-free return policy is also in place for your peace of mind.
