How not to rebuild rear Trans Am caliper
I got this used rear WS6 caliper the other day for a good deal. Well I start taking this apart for a rebuild and someone packed it with wheel bearing grease. I don’t know what this person was thinking lol. This is just the caliper piston, the caliper itself was packed with bearing grease up into the bleeder screw

I guess a bleeder screw does kinda looks like a grease nipple. You'd have to crack it to get the grease in though. Do you stop pumping when it comes out the master cylinder?
That's friken hilarious. |

Maybe it was done as a preservation measure and then put on the shelf for a rainy day.
Possibly semi-genius for long term storage, like another 50-100 years worth. lol |
