Oldsmobile Omega Brake Calipers
The Brake Caliperss in Oldsmobile Omega vehicles are an integral part of the brake systems because heats a hydraulic pressure from the master cylinder and applies it mechanically. This force actuates the brake pads against the rotors to slow or stop the car or any other vehicle being used. For the braking system Oldsmobile Omega models employ fixed as well as the floating calipers. In fixed calipers, the pistons are on each side of the rotor and supplies uniform pressure while floating type has the pistons on one side only and moves to apply pressure and problems such as uneven wear of pads commonly arises. Through the years several types of brake calipers have been used in the Omega, where distinctions in the use of construction materials and performance characteristics can be seen. Stock calipers are ideal for normal driving while performance calipers provide additional improvement in the braking and in the looks and can be used for various purposes ranging from daily driving to racing. Proper inspection and maintenance of the Brake Caliper are crucial to avoid problem like leak or uneven braking and wearing off.

Oldsmobile Omega Brake Calipers Parts Questions & Experts Answers
- Q: How to purchase a caliper overhaul kit and remove the caliper from the caliper bracket for Buick Skylark,Oldsmobile Omega and Pontiac Phoenix?A: 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.
