Posted 27/05/07 12:42 PM Share Posted 27/05/07 12:42 PM Fatz and I were changing the pads on my car on Saturday. The rear right caliper was almost immpossible to get off. When we finally did, we discovered one of the caliper slides was seized. After a few phonecalls, I called Phase3ute a mate and a meckanic by trade, and his response was, give it a blast with CRC/WD-40 and hit it with a hammer. If that fails, hit it harder and if that doesn't work, refer to point 1. It moved and what should of been a 10 min job turned into almost an hour. Rear right slights were perfect, but we cleaned and regreased them aswell. Front Left was a biatch to move. and it was seized even harder! Almost an hour later, I had an idea, and blow me down it worked. Front right was fine.It turns out that the last place I had the brakes done, had left the little rubber boots off these particular slides, and they were FILTH!! Thanks Adam for help.And Today, I got a SEXYTIME TUNE, so thanks Danny. Goes great mate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Congratulations Marcus. You're my hero. If only the distance wasn't such a barrier I'd be around to shake your hand. Sorry for my initial lack of enthusiasm - it was totally unwarranted.
