Sorry if it was not clear. Just like you might use an air compressor to push the piston out (which did not work), I put a grease zerk fitting where the break line connected to the caliper and used my hand pump grease gun and it pumped right out. The grease gun has a back flow valve in it and...

So...talked to my buddy chat...chat gbt and I would have never thought of it..local hardware store for a Greek zerk, installed where the inlet to the brake line is...i left all the liquid I sprayed in there...starting pumping...couple of pumps more...some pops and walah!

I have them saved on my bookmarks...they did not show up on my searches. I did not see if tgat price included freight- but still a great price, thanks. If the calipers comes apart and they clean up, I'm only looking at seals. I did rebuild all the calipers when I bought...so if I can save 60...

The best price I found on line , which included pads, 150 bucks. The kits are still 80 bucks so x 4...

I have way more time than money- if your swapping vs rebuilding, I'd say if everything comes apart its an extra 30 minutes of parts and cleaning up...

Old school drums...salt water makes a mess of those i bet- but they are reliable and should have done more preventive maintenance for sure- this is on me. There is the one only that is seized and would plan on rebuild of the other three. I'm done what retired now so I have way more time than money!

What warranty would you have on a new one?you have a piston that moves back and forth with hydraulic pressure..if it comes apart, it takes about 15 minutes to taje out the old, put in the new and back on tge trailer...

So i can't get this piston un stuck. Its SS- it still corodes? I have it soaking in wd40 abd I have a small compressor- i need a fitting that will take my compressor hose to build pressure - any other ideas? Its a 100 difference in cost rebuild vs new x 4 which seems silly not to rebuild....im...

I did clean out the master cylinder but I did not have time to pursue more cleaning- I can only keep my boat out front for 2 days at a time..2x a month..so I will get it back home again and get the fluid cleaned out and replace another caliper...maybe two. I bleed with a 16 oz coke bottle, hose...

So, interesting day.It's 500 degrees here in fl, no shade...on asphalt 1st- the boat has barley moved for the last six years...couple trips to the ramp (10 miles ), couple times home from storage to wash so it would look pretty sitting in storage. I always checked the temps on the hubs because...

Got the boat home and got to work. I bought medium gloves- would not fit. First time any latex on my body needed anything larger than medium. The trip from the marina is maybe 5 miles? The wheel I was concerned with was now like 216 degrees, the others around 110. I checked the rotor temp and...

I hear what you are saying but I feel like if I do this right and no seals are leaking, everything in the hub and bearings will be flushed out. Not 100% but certainly most of it. I will pull the wheel that has been running hotter and if i see some wear other than for out of adjustment I will...

Thanks for all the input, I know enough to be real dangerous! I'll bring it home, inspect those inner seals first. If they look good I'll go to pumping. If a seal is bad then obviously that wheel comes apart but otherwise I'm going to use the posi lube system and see how that works out...

Lol....

I know there is a seal in the rear but I don't think there is one in the front?

Ok, so I'm re thinking what little I know about these bearing systems. I just watched a you tube from Rockwell showing how their system works. I do have a zert on my spindles so I assume I have a posi lube system. According to the video, to repack the bearings on the hub you slowly squeeze...

Nylon nuts? I assume for corrosion and there is no pull on them but nylon?

I recall some pitting on the spindles but more in between the bearings as I recall. The spindles i believe were welded on ...whatever is needed, right now its going to be serviced and back for additional repairs...i have one set of pads. So again, if I have a zero fitting, I pack the bearings...

When you say pushes it to the front bearing, that is pushing through the rear bearing ,existing and then travels through the hub and will press grease into the front bearing?

The wood on the bunks looks solid and the carpet is on 3 sides...I wonder no more why it was done that way. I'd have to measure but these are large pieces of wood.. like a 4 x6 or maybe larger.
