syncors? or what? Is there a special tool for pulling the rear brakes? I think I have a rock caught between pad and rotor on my rear passenger side.
There is a light scoring of the rotor.
Also... if the syncros on my m6 are bad... would the shifter go into gears easily some of the time? or always grinding when going to gear? I have a situation where the shifter goes in smooth sometimes and sometimes it doesn't. I just got an adjustable master installed by Jason. It's a rebuilt tranny, new clutch... can't think of what it is.
Thanks!

Re: syncors? or what? i had the same problem with my clutch. it was the centerforce dual friction. i couldnt get it into gear very easy at all and then it just got worse. we bled it a lot and that didnt work so we thought it was the master and it wasnt that so i installed my old clutch again and it works fine. it was the new clutch the whole time and i only had it in for 1000 miles. hope that helps

Nope, just get a 13 mm socket and unbolt the two caliper bolts. It will fall right off the caliper bracket. If you need to remove everything, there will be 2 more bolts holding on the bracket to the back of the backing plate, unbolt them and it will also fall off. Then just slide the rotor off.

Usually when your syncro's are going out, you will get a grinding while putting the shifter into gear. Depending on the condition of the syncro's, it could be a heavy grinding or just a slight grind. Been there, done that <img src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" border="0">

Re: syncors? or what? Cool deal about the brakes! thanx <img src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" border="0">
It only grinds once in a blue moon when cold... i wonder if they are out of whack though... i wonder how much it is to put in new ones or how much it is to buy new ones and how hard to replace... i have rebuilt th400's and th350's... not sure on manuals <img src="gr_sad.gif" border="0">

Re: syncors? or what? My 3rd gear syncro is probably gone....drives around town perfect, but as soon as I go for that 2-3 shift above like 5000 its all grinding, and once I tried to force it in as hard as I could and I got some severe wheel hop, that was with the stock 10-bolt on nittos... <img src="gr_eek2.gif" border="0">
