so i recently posted a topic asking what my struts nd brakes are on my 1600 and i was told they are 240k struts and brakes but i took the calliper to place here on the goldy to get a rebuild kit for and he couldnt figure out what one kit i need. as u can see they are sumitomo callipers but i cant find any info about them on the net. they do have the same brake pads as the 240k.

also whats the best whay to get the pistons out?

+1. 240k

to get the pistons out you have to undo the bolts and split the calliper.

240k brakes for sure

We're can I get a rebuild kit from

If I spilt the caliper apart will it just bolt back together

yes it will bolt back together and the rebuild kits should b easy 2 get im in tassie so im not sure were u would get them up there any brake specialist could order it in.make sure the pistons r right in before u put the pads back in

To get the pistons out, just apply compressed air to the inlet connection.
Put a piece of wood in the middle so that the piston[s] don't get damaged.

Doesn't list pistons but if you take the whole kit and kaboodle to your local ABS workshop, they will inspect the pistons and advise if they need replacement.
Usually, any scratch or pitting that you can catch your fingernail on, is unserviceable - new parts required
Some shops are using composite pistons now instead of the hard chrome steel ones

ive pulled apart single piston 240k/200b brakes and they have the same size pistons as the twin opposing piston callipers IIRC

If you split them you will need to buy the little sealing rings that sit in the grooves of each caliper to get them to seal properly again.

They are usually included in the seal kit.
The clamping bolts are done up really tight though

Yep 240Z's used the same calipers. You'll need a good impact gun to undo the bolts. I ain't talkin about anything to can buy from supercheap either.
