Ok, lets start with the basics. I have a '93 LX sedan. Currently the brake setup is like this: AEM pads, with Brembo crossdrilled rotors.
So, today I replaced my master cylinder (pedal fell to floor). That fixed the problem. But when bleeding the brakes the bleeder screw on the passenger caliper was stripped. The screw costs like $2, but I can not loosen the screw for the life of me.
Also, I did bleed the other three wheels without incident, and it does not feel like there is any air in the system.
Soon I will have to change brake pads, I would have changed them today but I do not have money right now to get the AEM pads. Changing pads again will cause more bleeding to happen.
So, I know I am going to get the AEM pads. Right now the brakes feel fine, and I do not think the calipers are going.
Tonight however, when checking the prices, a remanufactured caliper is about $50. When I change the pads, I could ust get another caliper, but then would I need to change them in sets?
Right now I have no need to get new calipers, but if I did that would be just one less thing for me to do in the future.
New pads and 2 new calipers would be about $150, after core charges are refunded.
Should I replace the calipers too?
