RobSheffield Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 Are they the smaller brakes? Possible caliper sticking if so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simbasupra Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 Do the smaller brakes have sliders? If so check they are free also check where the pads are located and ensure the worn one is not stuck in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted October 26, 2008 Author Share Posted October 26, 2008 yes there the standard j-spec rears the caliper is sticking but i put that down to the piston coming to far out, it goes back in easy with a bit of pressure.will try new pads if that dont work looks like a new caliper:( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
