steveolkinevel Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 Hi all, im interested to know if anyone else has had this problem before,My front near side caliper keeps sticking on after applying the brakes, i took the piston out the caliper yesterday and the isnt any thing obviously wrong apart from it seems to tight? It doesnt run in and out as free as it should, the rubber is fine no splits or any damage. ??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
civicturbo79 Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 Is there any rust on the piston , I would check the sliders on the carrier grease them and i would take them out and roll them on a flat surface and see if they are bent .Rich.

civicturbo79 Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 you sound like you have checked it all i would bleed the system after that a would get a new caliper or a second hand one if that sorts it there is some wrong with the one you have , the only thing i can think is the caliper is warn funny and the piston comes out at a angle and that makes it hard to move .Rich.
