It might have some rust inside from the hyd. liquid. Take it to the mechanic
Better hope it is not a drum brake- it was originally equipped with a disc brake caliper.
The main cause of uneven wearing brake shoes is a sticking or stuck caliper. Check to see if the caliper is releasing properly all the time.
rubber section of brake line to caliper clogged and in need of replacement
Had a similar problem. The culprit was a flexible brake hose. It was restricted and it would let the oil under pressure to the caliper but wouldn't let the oil back after the brake pedal was released and it kept the caliper pressurized.Had to replace the hose.
Not adjusted properly Parking brake not releasing fully Frozen caliper
would not try to rebuild. buy new ones. if you don't you are just asking for continuous brake issues/problems.
Remove the wheel from the car.With a big screw driver pry on the caliper placing the screw driver between the caliper pistons. This will collapse the pistons allowing you to remove the caliper.Remove the caliper pin retaining spring.Remove the caliper pins.Next remove the brake pad retaining clips, found in the middle of the caliper.Remove the brake pads.Remove the two bolts holding the brake caliper in place.Now you're able to remove the brake rotor.An instructional video has also been included below.
Collapse caliper(screw driver to pry caliper apart), remove brake pin plug, remove brake pin, remove pads, reverse for install
1. Remove the brake hose to caliper bolt from the brake caliper. 2. Remove the brake hose from the brake caliper. 3. Remove and discard the 2 copper brake hose gaskets. These gaskets may be stuck to the brake caliper and/or the brake hose end. 4. Cap or plug the opening in the brake caliper and the brake hose to prevent fluid loss and contamination. 5. Remove the 2 brake caliper pin bolts. Remove the park brake cable from the caliper. 6. Remove the brake caliper from the brake caliper bracket.
The teves caliper is a single piston disc brake caliper and the akebono caliper is a dual piston disc brake caliper. The teves caliper is a single piston disc brake caliper and the akebono caliper is a dual piston disc brake caliper.
how do you get the brake caliper push in to put new brake on
If the parking brake uses this caliper then it is threaded a special tool (not expensive available at Sear or auto parts) is required to twist it back into the caliper body they have parking brake shoesd wich are cable drive,,,,,,, the caliper is stationary use a screw driver
