Binding front break.

Post by kev706 »

Evening all, Just been out in the van to find the drivers side front brake is binding when hot. Any tips on a cure without a complete caliper strip or replace. Thanks in advance.

You could removes the pads and work the piston in and out cleaning and spraying with light lube oil.

The only way to do it properly though is to remove the calipers strip and clean sorry
You can say alot of of things with "ar"

Earley caliper, but just given it a good clean and WD40 seems to have cured it fingers crossed. Thanks for all of your replies.
