Turbo Goose Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 Hi guys, I've had an ongoing problem for the past couple of years. My passenger side caliper tends to stick. I'll use the brake and the caliper will stay on a bit, making the brake disc VERY hot, slows the car down a fair bit and drinks the fuel so its quite a problem.When it first started I would take the caliper off, lube up the slides and also press the brake while the caliper was off as it was the actual piston that kept sticking, the wind the piston back in with a G clamp.Anyways, I kept doing this everytime it happened.Then I got another second hand caliper and replaced the existing one, it was working fine for a few months now its done it again.I'm just wondering what the best solution is? would a caliper service kit be enough, do I buy another secondhand caliper or is it a case of buying a new caliper?A service kit is £25 for the pair, a secondhand caliper is around £20-£30 each and new calipers are around £70-£130New CaliperSecondhandService kitcheers guys Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Keri-WMS Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 It's just about possible that it's an internally collapsed brake hose - worth checking. :-) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
