Rear calipers seized


Recommended Posts

Hi peeps i dont know how many of you guys suffer from problems with rear calipers, but mine seem to be binding a little i can pull the hand brake up and i sticks on.

Im sure I've seen some1 on here re build there and use a special greese when re assembling them, can anyone enlighten me ?

rubber grease mate, pinky/red color. my mate rebuilt mine with axel grease and they gripped to fook. a strip down clean an rebuild is in order, only takes 10-15 mins per caliper

You'll need new rubber gaitors as normal grease degrades the rubbers and causes them to bind.

The rebuild kit from id works and camskills comes with some but it's worth getting a small tube of silicone grease (red stuff mentioned above) as they don't really give you enough
