Hi everybody, Last night I began the process of replacing the front passenger side wheel bearings on my '84 Rabbit. I acquired this rabbit just a few months ago, and don't know much of its history. Anyway, I got the wheel off and then started the process of removing the caliper on the brake. Here is where I hit a roadblock (I wish I had a Bentley -- but all I have are the first edition Muir and a Hayes manual). The brakes I'm staring at here don't really look like anything described in my manuals. Specifically, I don't see the "spreader spring" the manuals are referring to. Moreover, the front of the caliper is stamped "Remfg", so I'm pretty sure that these are the original brakes. Also, on the outside, I see engraved, "VW II". I've got pictures online here:
