The Toffinator Posted February 11, 2011 Posted February 11, 2011 Slight scrape is fine mate, there usually is a bit when you put new pads in Quote

Russleh Posted February 11, 2011 Posted February 11, 2011 id do a complete clean of everythin on the brake setup ie take the sliders out both sides and clean them and regrease them and put everythin back together and see if its still the same. if it is at least ul know its nothing at the actual brake end. dunno if it will help but it would definatly eliminate the calipers if everythings moving freely.

Keri-WMS Posted February 13, 2011 Posted February 13, 2011 Take the stainless pad clips off the carrier if the pads are not 100% free to move, chip the rust off from under them and put it all back. Quote
The Toffinator Posted February 13, 2011 Posted February 13, 2011 Any half decent brand will do the job fine mate, but as above give the calipers a service, just undo the bolts through the sliders, remove them and grease up the seals, then do the same with the piston seal, back together, give em a bleed and that should have the brakes working perfectly dude. doesnt take long either tbh!
