philgor Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 what do you mean the carriers have seized?are the pad's seized in the carriers. i hit the pads out with a hammer, then clean the carrier up with sandpaper/filesorthe sliders seized in the carriers, my favroite way is to mount the carriers in a solidly mounted vice (the slider clamped in to the vice) and then use a bar to turn the carrier untill i can wiggle the carrier off. then clean the slider and the hole the best i could and then use plenty of grease/copper slip etc and check the boots carefully before putting them back on.if you do need new/2ndhand ones, can get them from just about any rover/honda with vented disks on 4x100 wheels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gypatch Posted May 4, 2011 Author Share Posted May 4, 2011 just the sliders are seized the pads come out easy and the caliper works ok but planning on changing them any way think i'm footing the bill for work the old owners never did lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
