There's going to be a little pin that sticks out , it has to do with the piston inside the brake caliper , when the parking brake is on ,its supposed to push that pin in , pushing the piston , locking the breaks, its sealed ..that pin,, is sealed , no fluids or anything like that , just for reinsurance , i put some silcone on my block off plate to keep moisture out, my freind has a 250r and dosn't even run a block off. Good luck man'

I was wondering the same thing as I pulled my e-brake off the other night and there was a little bit of brake fluid that came out. My guess is that the little o-ring that seals the little pin on the back side of the piston is bad.....yes/no?:confused:

Probably, add a caliper rebuild kit to your order from C&D Racing;) :D

thats nice....i thought that was supposed to be like that. I have been using silicon to try and get it to seal but when i use my brake the silicon doesnt hold and brake fluid come shooting out. I prolly should rebuild mine then.
