On the off side caliper only one of the pistons is coming out when the brake is applied. The otherone moves a bit when pushed but only the one comes out under braking. Will the repair kit solve this or do I need a new caliper?

Thanks

Hi,

The common problem is rust/corrosion on the side of the brake pistons causing them to stick on not return properly.Sometimes just taking the pistons out and rubbing off the corrosion will fix the problem.The kits are good if there is fluid lose through the piston walls.

Sounds like a semi seized piston to me.

Its always worth when changing the brake pads to pump the pistons out and clean around the sides of them to avoid future problems.
