I'm using '77 Cad. Seville rear calipers to convert to discs in the rear. Anybody have any experience in rebuilding these calipers? These have emergency brake levers on them.
Any help would be appreciated.

Have you tried to find rebuilt loaded calipers. I usually don't rebuild calipers if rebuilt ones are available.

I rebuilt the rear calipers from an 81 Eldorado that went into my 64 El Camino. I used a manual from a 84 - 92 Camaro with rear discs as a reference. One in the same.

Joe's got some really good info on his web site... especially when it comes to rear disk brakes! Check it out here: http://www.geocities.com/diels12000/RearDiscBrakes.html

Let us know if that helps!!
