Chiro- another Croatian AE86
This is a long story, take your time Smile

Whell... thought about opening this topic a bit, and I decided to do it. Although it is not a racing nachine, I am planing to do some serious work around it and make a proper road-fun-ass kicking car of it. Also I am documenting everything that I do around it so...

Let's start:

I found my Hachi in the midle of town, which is mission impossible because Zax, Hrc, Dodo, Kas and the rest of the crew already bought every single one of them Smile

Anyways, I bought my car from a man that was in a hurry, he was going to Germany by bus. We did the premeral paymant and wrote a confirmation on a peice of paper. He was of by bus and I was off with my new car... Right then I was a proud owner of a neet and tidy Celica mk4 (ok, a bit rusty but not bad at all)

and now I had to get rid of it because I needed the money to get this:

in driving and MOT legal state...

That was realy fast. Celica was sold in just a couple of days for 1 500€. People said that I could get more, but I didn't want to drag the sale for a year...

Welcome to the club :-)

Looks not that bad. Has it got any major rust spots?

ZaX might have missed this one because he's been too busy drifting his 200sx around europe ;-)

Chiro- another Croatian AE86
front right brake was blocking... so I started there...
[Image: AEU86 AE86 - Chiro- another Croatian AE86]

No wonder... they didn't put ceramic or copper grease on the skiders of the caliper... but standard lithyum that melts it self on like 100degrees celsius... It was almost impossible to get it off
[Image: AEU86 AE86 - Chiro- another Croatian AE86]

I manage to do that, again with a little help of my friends- Rio Cyber did this... respect!!
[Image: AEU86 AE86 - Chiro- another Croatian AE86]

Bought new rubbers in Toyota and repaired all brakes on the car, including the main brake cilinder and clutch cilinders... Peice of cake, only the main brake cilynder was done with ae92 rubbers that were not Toyota original so it got stuck, had to buy new one (used) from Hrc- thanks HRC!!

Here's how it's done:
get the piston out- I used the compressor (be careful, put good amount of cloth or somethig and hands away from the piston- it pops out like a rifle)
[Image: AEU86 AE86 - Chiro- another Croatian AE86]


detail cleaning of every brake caliper
[Image: AEU86 AE86 - Chiro- another Croatian AE86]

if something gets stuck use these tools from left to right Smile
[Image: AEU86 AE86 - Chiro- another Croatian AE86]

this is one bad mother... 3m penetrant- wonder oil!
[Image: AEU86 AE86 - Chiro- another Croatian AE86]

dry the caliper housing thingy
[Image: AEU86 AE86 - Chiro- another Croatian AE86]

clean and polish the piston
[Image: AEU86 AE86 - Chiro- another Croatian AE86]

[Image: AEU86 AE86 - Chiro- another Croatian AE86]

clean and polish the sliders
[Image: AEU86 AE86 - Chiro- another Croatian AE86]

[Image: AEU86 AE86 - Chiro- another Croatian AE86]

[Image: AEU86 AE86 - Chiro- another Croatian AE86]

put new rubbers on and use glycol-sylicon based grease that Toyota provides in the kit
[Image: AEU86 AE86 - Chiro- another Croatian AE86]

the sliders and inside the rubbers put enough copper or ceramic grease (not too much)

Chiro- another Croatian AE86
on front calipers one slider is fixed (bolted in)... Check that bolt, if it is not tight take it out, put some Locktite on it and screw it back
[Image: AEU86 AE86 - Chiro- another Croatian AE86]

[Image: AEU86 AE86 - Chiro- another Croatian AE86]

rear calipers are complete story for them selfs: DO NOT REMOVE THE THREAD THAT HOLDS THE PISTON IF YOU DON'T HAVE THE SSTool
[Image: AEU86 AE86 - Chiro- another Croatian AE86]

you have to rotate the piston counter clockwise, take it out...
[Image: AEU86 AE86 - Chiro- another Croatian AE86]

than you have to remove the ring that secures the spring...
[Image: AEU86 AE86 - Chiro- another Croatian AE86]
you can do it easely if you have the pliers for removing the rings (they are widening when you pres them), or with a screwdriver (carefully)
[Image: AEU86 AE86 - Chiro- another Croatian AE86]

[Image: AEU86 AE86 - Chiro- another Croatian AE86]

than just remove the threaded thingy out with pliers (careful, dont grip it too much because you will damage the thread)
[Image: AEU86 AE86 - Chiro- another Croatian AE86]

if your piston looks like this:
[Image: AEU86 AE86 - Chiro- another Croatian AE86]

Polish it... it is verry easy if you (by chance) have a milling machine
[Image: AEU86 AE86 - Chiro- another Croatian AE86]

[Image: AEU86 AE86 - Chiro- another Croatian AE86]

When you did all this, replace all rubbers with new ones, grease them whell and star reasimbling the calipers...

this is not the way to do it:
[Image: AEU86 AE86 - Chiro- another Croatian AE86]

you need to push the spring and tin part down and put the security ring back in... Not easy because there is poor space and you have to get it just right...

first off you need a SST...
I found mine in old rear brake caliper piston of AE92. The thread is M8 but with 5 step threads... not standard and easy to find. So you brake the old piston that you don't need any more (buy used, in a poor state), and take out this part:
[Image: AEU86 AE86 - Chiro- another Croatian AE86]

then it goes like so:
[Image: AEU86 AE86 - Chiro- another Croatian AE86]

and screwed to the end...
[Image: AEU86 AE86 - Chiro- another Croatian AE86]

put all in and put the ring back...

woula!!! Done...

I repeat- use this kind of grease for the sliders:
[Image: AEU86 AE86 - Chiro- another Croatian AE86]

and you can use the glycol silicon based red one for the piston and rubber rings in the caliper...

You just screw the piston in to the ende and you're left with putting everything on the car Smile
[Image: AEU86 AE86 - Chiro- another Croatian AE86]

I used Textar pads and new Delphi oil...
[Image: AEU86 AE86 - Chiro- another Croatian AE86]

Main brake caliper did't go so well so I better not talk about it Smile
[Image: AEU86 AE86 - Chiro- another Croatian AE86]

[Image: AEU86 AE86 - Chiro- another Croatian AE86]

cluch calipers are so easy that it's not even worth talking about it Smile
Ah, yes, take down the brake booster, youre life will be a lot easyer when taking down the main clutch cilinder
