Sticking Read O/S calliper

Hi Guy's,

was driving home last week and my car was squealing like a stuck pig. Seems to be the rear OS. I can see deep grooves in the disk. What I wanted to know, before I order the parts do fix this is what is the typical problem. Should I order a new Caliper and or carrier. Disks and pads are a give. The brake bible doesn't seen to cover replacing a calliper but is covers replacing brake fluid which I will probably do while Im at it.

Is there any point is cleaning the calliper or should I just replace?

Are the Britpart replacement callipers any good seem to be £45 which is very reasonable?

Thanks,

Ian.

Start off with the easy stuff, make sure the sliding pins are still sliding and that the pads are free to move in the caliper, they can often get gunged up and stick Thumbs Up

Ive got Brtipart callipers on the front of my disco, people on here predicted they would not last and that was two/three odd years ago Thumbs Up
No point trying to clean/free up if it is actually the calliper thats knackered.

Yes I agree, don't want to be doing it twice.

I replaced the rear calipers on my D3 with Britpart ones several years ago and they've been fine.

For the price it's not worth refurbishing the old ones.

THe rear brakes don't do alot on these (except jam on)

As above, checking and greasing the slide pins is a yearly ( or sooner job). Go this route first armed with a tube of silicon grease, and clean them properly. Changing a caliper in the first instance may well be a waste of money, time and effort. Nothing more than simple maintenance could cure this for you.

Yes boys you where right it was just the outside pad seized in the stainless steel spring thing. I put new disks and pads on anyway and clean the EPB which had an impressive amount of crap in it:-)

Adjusting the EPB afterwards was a bit of a pain. To add insult to injury it started hail stoning as I was enjoying the process. Big Cry
