A few weeks ago I went to change the brake pads on my Supra....Well, I owned a N/A MKIV before, but now own a TT , anyways, I've changes the pads in the N/A before a few times, and completley forgot that the TT's have four-piston calipers in the front....needless to say I pulled the four pins from the back and seperated the caliper, fluid went everywere, and now being re-attatched they leak brake fluid on my rims, and it eats away at the finish of the rims....do I need new calipers, or is this repairable....what to do???

If I were you I would take it to Toyota or local machanic and see what they can do. Its probgably just the seal that need to be replaced. since you [email protected]#ked up once already, I wouldnt recommend trying to fix it yourself again.
its should be repairable, if not just get it rebuild. no need to spend that money to get new ones. OR , you can always go Brembo big brake upgrade!!!

good luck

Mike,

Unless you are going to upgrade to the AP kit, keep the Brembo kit...

veilside-bpu,

The first time I went to change my brakes, I crazed one open a little, but as soon as fluid starting leaking out I closed it and re-evaluated, but opening them up most likely ruined your calipers, you could try to have someone look at them and re-build them, but there is a good chance that something could not be perfect, and brakes aren't something you want to chance.

I would say better safe than sorry and bend over and take your mistake like a man. Call Jeff Watson and order some new ones...

What do you want for the Brembo kit?? Is it the full it: Rotors, Calipers, Lines, etc...

Yo man, do not worry. You can fix it without any problems. just change seals. Good explanation of that fix you can find on www.twinturbo.net in faq.

Good luck
