seperating 300zx calipers - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

I just got a set of 300zx calipers, one of the front calipers has a broken bleeder screw since it was in accident and wheel snapped it clean off, I know i gotta drill it out and use screw extractor to get it out. Problem with that is obviously gonna get metal shavings in caliper, has anyone ever seperated the 2 halves on the front calipers? I know they are bolted together but if i seperate them dont know if it has special gaskets or o rings in between.

Sweet, thanks for the find bro, gonna pop out the pistons and if i can see the bleeder screw then i will just drill with the piston poped out to avoid getting metal shavings in caliper, might as well rebuild them
