brake caliper overhaul

[TUFFTR]

Thanks to this write up I rebuilt my Sumitomo's last weekend. great success. Some pistons weren't lubed and felt stuck. All bored and pistons cleaned out and re-oiled (with brake fluid) Problem in the end for me turned out to be a master cylinder but it didnt hurt to do this.
Thanks Colt.

also just completed an ABS delete after the ABS pump took a shit. the brakes are now quite a bit more responsive

I wanna know more about what's goin on here, did you just use some fittings, or have to modify anything else to rid the ABS pump? This looks like a super cheap and easy ABS delete aside from goin with stock non ABS parts and having to fish everything through the tight engine bay

Best way to do this is to buy some flare unions, cut the old lines from the ABS system, install new flare fittings on the lines, use a flare tool to flare the lines, and thread them in a flare union tee as pictured above. Just make sure you're hooking up the lines correctly, i.e. front in to front outs and rear in to rear outs.
