Confused over which calipers I have and the difference if any in the repair kits.
These are not the original calipers.
I think I have Teves as Haynes says that the pad pins knock out into the wheel arch.
And the pistons have indents but no matching shapes on the back of the pads, problem?
Bigger didn't that stuck piston go with a bang when I gave it a burst off me compressor :shock:
Cheers Andy
E D I T, now more confusing the pads match ATE....

The pads are the same for ATE and Girling twin piston. Only the anti squeal shims, ATE have press outs that fit in the cut out in the piston to stop it rotating. Girling don't have the cut out in the piston.

OK thanks for that.
Looks like repair kits for these are getting scarce, lots offering replacements.....
