I just rebuilt a set of 88 rear calipers off of SS 683 with 2 Raybestos PN:WK1541 seal kits to replace 2 seized rear calipers on SS 820.
The rebuild went well and they're installed and the lines are bled. However, the pedal travel to stop seems to have noticeably increased. (full disclosure, there are z32 calipers up front)
When i reassembled them, i rotated the pistons in all the way and clocked so that a piston notch aligned with the pin on the brake pad, which are pretty new.
The FSM does not say anything about rotating the piston, except inward to clearance new pads.
Should I need rotate the pistons outward to take up some slack in the piston travel or, will they sort themselves out.
Strange that in the 25 years that i have owned these cars, i have never needed to rebuild the rear calipers before.
