Hello all.

Q. I have a front n/s brake caliper that is showing signs of weeping very slightly. I am thinking of useing a repair kit. Any tips or go to`s.will be much appreciated.

By the way I have just replaced both sets of pads to the rear brakes and both the inboard pads had

seized within the caliper. there was previosley a slight shudder on brakeing but this has now dissapeared.

Best Regards

Nick

Hi.

Bigred as linked above or they also trade on eBay, ive known people use their kits for years with success. As for the job itseld can i suggest the first thing you try befoire removing the caliper is checking the bleed nipple is free. You dont want to go through all the effort or stripping and overhauling and then find the nipple sheares off (a friend just tdid this with his porsch). Its not the end of the world if it does but would be much easier to clean any swarf out if you drill the nipple out with the piston removed etc.

Just my two pennys worth.

James.
