Yes, You are right Rob. I,ve been looking at parts and it looks like if you need pistons you are out of luck, or I guess then you have to get calipers. The re-build kits I found only have a seal and a ring. I cant remember if I have ever re-built one of these, I guess not but it looks like one of the easier jobs to do. My 59 Ponton had shoe brakes, two cylinders in the front. Horrible brakes. Yep, rebuilding, but first I have to clean the shop and clear my benches. Summer has hit. Max

Max,
Yes, you should rebuild the caliper. :)
If you didn't figure out the brake type:

Ok, finally got the piston unstuck. Never did that before. I had to take it off the car, put it in a vise and use two big c-clamps. Still really hard, I had to use a pipe for leverage and finally with a pop and a squirt(of course it got me) it broke loose. I know I should re-build the calipers but I just want to stick pads in.

Hey Nate, still trying to unstick my piston. I'm gonna make one more try then take the caliper off and see what happens. I hope I don't have to do what this video shows, but I feel like Kent, new calipers are very spendy. https://youtu.be/qc4zlGaJgoA . I do have the pop tester and it looks pretty cool. But look at his shop. You probably lick the floors. My shop does not look anything like that, but I got a better view. Anyone else got ideas for stuck pistons? Max PS, How can you tell what type of brakes your car has? Like Bendix or whatever the other type is?
