As stated, why are my brakes still spongy? Do i have to do front ones too? I swapped hoses on rears by the way?

I had trouble on a car like that and it turned out air had got in to the system but I bled it do many times till I was stuck, it turned out there was a bleed nipple on the master cylinder, did that and all was well. Was a beetle btw

is the rear caliper mounted so that the bleed nipple is at the highest point?

if you are using cossie type calipers swing the caliper in the air to get rid of the last bit of air

Been out today in car and now it sounds like pads are rubbing on passenger rear?
Originally it was doing this on drivers side until i swapoed them around and it wore pad out to metal wen other side still had 8mm of pads left? Sounds like this is goin same way??
Why is this caliper doing this??

Sounds like you've got a seized caliper or slider mate. Try taking the caliper off and seeing if the pistons hard to push back. Also check the sliders are free to move in/out on the caliper carrier.

I did it yesterday and it was solid to move back? U think piston has seized?

wedge07

Is it worth trying to spray wd40 between rubber n piston? Buy a new one or a repair kit?

Found prob it was carrier slider bolt seized cheers
