Ashbash107 Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 My car has been off the road for a couple of months and like a complete idiot I left the hand brake on, now the passenger side rear caliper is stuck on. I have new discs and pads all round to fit along with rear wheels bearings. What's the best way to sort the caliper out? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ashbash107 Posted November 10, 2014 Author Share Posted November 10, 2014 Is it pretty straight forward to do yourself? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

daniel_g Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 Have you checked its not just the cable thats siezed on ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ashbash107 Posted November 11, 2014 Author Share Posted November 11, 2014 Well I seem to figure things out when I get going lol. How can I check the cable? (I haven't actually looked yet, planning to do it all on the weekend, so just hunting for advice) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
daniel_g Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 Remove the cable from the caliper and see if the brake is free, if it is then the cable is siezed. If it doesnt spin then its the caliper. (Providing the pads are free and not stuck in) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
