280zx calipers leaking from emergency brake cam bolt


Recommended Posts

I have encountered a problem that I cannot find much information on. I have 1983 280zx disc brakes on my car and I found that one of the calipers was leaking. I bought a pair of reman calipers quickly installed them in place. However, when I began to bleed the brakes I found that fluid would start to leak out from the emergency brake cam bolt. To describe it in more detail, this is the bolt onto which fits the spring for the emergency brake lever, and a large 18mm nut holds the whole assembly in place.

 

I imagine the correct course of action would be to return the caliper and try my luck again but I thought I'd ask if anyone has ever experienced this problem. Anyone have any advice? Maybe I'm missing something obvious...
