bennyd 0 Posted May 23, 2006 Hi, can anyone tell me if the 2 rear brake calipers are the same (but opposite) on a '91 G60. The reason I ask is that my hand brake is crap and while looking at the calipers, I noticed that the passenger side lever, the one the hand brake cable attaches to, is not springing back into position, ie when I release the hand brake that lever on the caliper stays in the "ON" position and its not locking the wheel which is strange. I know that the drivers side caliper has a spring on it, as its working so I went into my local dealer and asked for the spring and they told me that it was part of the caliper and not for sale as a separate part. But on closer inspection of the 2 rear calipers they are slightly different when it comes to the hand brake lever connection. Has anyone ever had to change this spring on the passenger side caliper, and if so do you have a part number. And any advice muchly appriciated.

swfblade 0 Posted May 23, 2006 afaik its all one unit m8, so u'll have to change the whole caliper. Which in turn means doing both sides. Which may make sence to then do the Mk4 Golf caliper upgrade. Do a search, theres loads on here about that :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
