    Rear Brake Help

    Hey guys. I am trying to figure out what to do for some rear brakes on my 85 200x. I have 2 rear calipers and 3 master cylinders. None of them work. They all have rust dust in them. I tried cleaning them out but can't seem to get them to work. Has anyone rebuilt these, or do you just have to buy new, or used working. I don't want to spend hundreds of dollars. can I just disassemble and clean everything? Any suggestions on a cheap fix?

    i got a non working one for 10 bucks that needs rebuilt. they do make rebuild kits. the working ones on ebay go for alot. i sold a working mastercyclinder on here awhile back for $55.

    nothing else is a bolt on, so your stuck.

    there are some new calipers on ebay, but their $100, i have never heard of rebuild kits for the 83-85s, but they have them for the 86-87s, but there may be some for the 83-85s, and see this for the caliper swaps.

    Very easy to rebuild and about 20$ in parts to do it. AS LONG AS the slide pins aren't all seized up etc etc. Another 30$ for good pads...

    Do a search and you'll find tons of info on rebuilding brakes unless you have a specific question....
