Sticking Brake Caliper

Recommended Posts

On my Diesel "Thunder bus" one of the front brakes is sticking, what do i do to fix, strip and replace seals etc, or do I just get a recon one?

It depends whats up with it, have you had the wheel off and had a look yet?

 

It could just be a stuck pad in it's carrier, next thing to check is the caliper sliders themselves, i think you can buy recon kits for these and sort them out easely enough.

 

The least likely thing is if its the piston itself thats jammed, i would buy a recon caliper if it's that, once the piston is rusty it pitts the surface and it might not re-seal 100% eaven with new seals.

Not had wheel off yet, just hoping to get a plan together before I start.
