Brakes And Calipers

[glitteringprize]

Im currently fitting new discs and pads.Ive also had a caliper refurbed and fitted some new sliding pins on the caliper carrier.So when the car is jacked up,and you press the brake the wheel locks,release brake and it spins,im doing this several times on each wheel.So if all is well but when driving they stick or bind what does that indicate.Any advice would be good.

Hi

Right,

At the risk of upsetting you i'm gonna ask.... Have you done the job before?

Did you have to wind the pistons back into the calipers or did they just push back?

Either way did you push them all the way back?

Did you put the new pads in after cleaning up the calipers, were the pads in exactly the right position?

 

 

These questions may infuriate you, i really hope they don't. I only want to help. At the end of the day I don't need to sit here and type anything but i have seen you post questions without getting any answers......

All the best

not done it on one of these before.but yes gently pushed pistons back to allow new pads to fit new discs.Bedded them in,pulled a litre of fluid through bleeding all 4 calipers to get fresh dot3 all over
