front caliper fixed

[jeepaviation]

I forget the actual weight. But I did have my 20mm Panniers and a friends Teton Panniers on a scale. It seems that the 20mm cases were 20 - 25 pounds heavier than the aluminum cases. We both have been over on the rocks and both styles hold up well. I get a lot of teasing, and good comments from fellow vets about the cases. I would like a nice alum set, but other mods take priority. the 20mm work fine. YOu can use the extra savings to put aside for a Moab shock. With a tuned suspension, the weight is not a problem.

I typed in Google "pin stuck in caliper" and it brought up a car web site and there were a lot of pins stuck in their calipers. One guy said he drilled a hole from the other side from where that pin goes in and then he punched it out. Well I figured what the heck do I have to loose since I got a replacement coming. I drilled several holes until I got lined up with that pin. I wanted to make sure I was not going to hit the piston area. Well it took several good whacks with a hammer and a punch to get that pin to come out. I cleaned everything up with brake cleaner and polished the pin with a Dremel tool. Since I drilled a few holes I plugged the hole I did not need with JB Quick weld and with a little tape and more JB Weld I covered the hole where the pin was. I got everything back together and the only thing I need now is some brake fluid. Tom Zangla SW Pennsylvania

I bought 20mm cans and they were 20 lbs each, as I recall. I eventually went with Pelican 1450 cases. DC D Critchley
