GLPoomobile 958 Posted March 11, 2007 With the handbrake released, is there still supposed to be some contact with the pads? My wheels can be rotated by hand easily enough with the handbrake off, but the pads rub enough that you can hear the contact quite loudly when driving slowly with the window down. Just wondering if perhaps the pistons are a bit sticky or if the automatic handbrake adjuster needs adjusting or is sticky. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hengti 2 Posted March 11, 2007 (edited) probably either a sticking handbrake arm or sticking piston check that the h'brake arm is pulled back as far a poss and that it moves freely - if it doesn't, you'll have to take the boot off and re-grease it checking the piston is a pads out job really - just need to check that you can wind the piston in freely. if this is the problem, you can carefully pull the seal back and spray lube in there - wind in, pump out, wind in, pump out etc until it's free hth ed. some contact is normal - providing they feel fairly free, i wouldn't worry Edited March 11, 2007 by hengti Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
