remember I promised pictures of how, because of my stupidity, the caliper vomited? :) - Toyota Corolla, 1.6 liter, 1997

in fact - my pure stupidity. it all started with a puncture of a normal wheel. since it was far to go to the shinki (well, it’s a hundred kilometers ***), I had to go to the stowaway.

but first there was rest. a week in the best place of Lake Baikal, sand, sand, a sea of ​​beer, and water at 24 degrees ... a fairy tale!

by the way. while driving there we saw an interesting car in Ulan-Ude:

And yet, look what does the auto acceleration in Siberia do to the appearance of up to 198 km / h by GPS, and not by the speedometer. midges are beating, and you have to wash them with powder.

and further on. seemingly an ordinary puncture ... but on a gravel road the wheel decided to take off his shoes quickly, and after hitting a good stone, the rim bent a little and. he tore off the caliper. the bolts just broke off like matches:

found a hammer, put it under the piston, and bandaged it from time to time. because there are 500 km to the house, of which 150 are mountain pass, according to some stretches, the most dangerous and difficult section of the federal highway, and on top of that, my box is jammed in fourth gear, there is no parking brake, and there is trouble with the brakes.
