Does anyone know, if there is a Lucas or another make beside ATE, for the rear caliper on the wifes 1995 Omega, do 2.2 petrol calipers fit and are they Lucas? If they are what am I looking for when purchasing them, OE code etc. Or could anyone point me to some, even Ebay will do. Car is off road at moment.

I need to replace the ones on the car, as they are the original ones which need replacing and the brake pad securing pins are rusted into the caliper. I uprated the calipers and discs on the front for Lucas.  Is there a Lucas that is a straight swap, that will also use the original size disc, as just bought new discs to fit.

The car is a 1995 2.0 16V estate model, with ATE calipers.

Thanks in advance for any help.

I am not worried if the new ones are still ATE. I have contacted a company, but they say that the ones that they are selling, will not fit.

These are the ones

or these which show fit, but also show as fitting a 2.6 which I believe are different width calipers?

Thanks for all the help

Both sellers are morons.

The first two links are exactly what you need

The third link is also suitable, but not for 2.6/3.2 as they have 20mm discs

Personally I would buy the first two as they are cheaper

Incidentally, as the vented calipers aren't available, if anyone requires new calipers for 2.6/3.2 cars, and wishes to retain vented rear discs, you can buy the solid calipers and split them. Although you will need to buy two pairs in order to get all the seals. You then re use the divider block and bolts from the vented calipers.

There's a picture in the guides section detailing the difference between the calipers.

This might help, theres a few listed.

i haven't used Mister Auto for a while but they've always been good in the past. Other EU sellers are available, etc, etc

Before you go spending money, have another go at drifting out, the old pins using a suitable sized rod or punch and a heavy hammer? Perhaps a liberal spray of Shock&Unlock or similar first.

Over the years I have come across some well corroded pins in various GM vehicles and have never had to replace a caliper just because I couldn't shift the pins. The bores for the pins have always been good, a little clean up required at worst. The pins are punched out from the outboard side.

it amazes me how they can sell a caliper for £40odd and make any kind of profit ... I've just paid £18 for a refurb' kit (seal, dust seal, piston & slider dust covers) for my daughter's Yaris

Having seen Mr D at work... if he hasn't already got it moving through brute force and ingenuity, it definitely isn't moving! The man redefines "stubborn"
