[QUOTE="Blkkbgt, post: 16952724, member: 117234"] I THINK I've figured out what is causing the parking break issues on the Taurus calipers. This is basically the stackup of components for the parking brake mechanism. What's important note is the notch in the lever and the pin. [ATTACH type="full" alt="20230901_110559.jpg"]1808193[/ATTACH] Here is what I found comparing the notch in the levers side by side [ATTACH type="full" alt="20230901_110457.jpg"]1808195[/ATTACH] It's very hard to tell but those notches are not cut the same. I THINK the pin is not being allowed to drop back into the notch after the parking brake is used. Another thing that could be happening is the screw may be of lower quality in the reman Taurus calipers. They could be galling inside the piston and binding up. I am no metallurgest but they do seem to be a different metal and feel cheap. With all that said I have decided to stick with rebuilding my old calipers. Messing with the Taurus pieces isn't worth the potential consequences even if I rebuild them. [/QUOTE]
