As i dont use the cossie much.today i decided to get the old girl out and put a few miles on it, but noticed after 3/4 miles the car was pulling to the left , got out and the ns front wheel is to hot to touch . nursed the old girl home and again was still red hot. ive tried brake cleaner etc with no joy ,is it another new caliper? or is there wa way to free it up .

 

i might just be the pads stuck in the caliper, take them out give the a good clean and while there out make sure the piston(s) are free by pumping them out a little bit then pushing them back in, maybe with a little wd 40 to lubricate them

or abit of copper grease ??? its my own fault i really need to start using it abit more as 200 miles in 2 years is poor, these 3 doors need constant care i left the handbrake off etc too.

 

Ok so ive got the wheel and disc off , ive covered the pistons in wd40, ive then gone and pushed the brake pedal ,it went to the floor . gone back to the caliper and the top 2 pistons are out as far as they will go and the bottom 2 have not moved . what now????

 

move them all, all the way in and press them out again, repeat a few times until free, make sure you dont pump them till they fall out tho

 

The bottom ones wont move they have only done around 300 miles . as said above i need to use it more then i may not get this trouble

 

Ok so ive just put the disc back on etc and on the top of the caliper there is fluid leaking out the blead valve, the thread on it is nakered and it will not stop leaking. ive got a new set of rear calipers sitting in the garage so ive taking the bleed valve out of that a put it in its place. only thing is the tiny little hole at the end (where it screws in) is smaller does this matter???
