Sticky rear calipers

[Prickle]

Im sure mine are starting to as i can feel the rear drag a tad..

Is it new caliper jobby or can i take pads/disks out and check somehow?

I dont really want to bleed the brakes (not one to touch that)


dear me one thing after another..

I had this, after the garage pulled my handbrake that hard, that it snapped the cable, and seized my rear calliper. To add insult to injury.. they let me drive home with it binding, bubbled all paint off everything haha.

I stripped the calliper down, greased the piston. but even after that.. it still stuck.

So probs easier to get another calliper. As even if you take the piston out to inspect/grease you need to bleed the brakes.

Good excuse for a full brake fluid change, least then it'd be worth while :)

Ask mandyslover to post you a pair? Sure he'd beat that price..

I sold a set for £30 not long ago, not knowing the proper value :S.
