Why right front caliper locks up when driving without touching brake pedal ok after it cools down 2002 ford focus?
Each brake has a black flex hose going to the brake cylinder. One of the little black hoses on your front brakes is bad. For some reason they sometimes collapse on the inside and will allow fluid to flow to the brake but not return as it normally does. By the time it cools down the pressure has released itself and everything appears normal.

Is it safe to drive with a loose brake caliper?
Driving with a loose brake caliper is not safe. It can lead to decreased braking performance, uneven braking, and potential loss of control of the vehicle. It is important to have the brake caliper properly fixed by a professional mechanic before driving the vehicle.
Is it safe to drive with a brake pad loose in the caliper?
No, it is not safe to drive with a loose brake pad in the caliper as it can affect the braking performance of the vehicle and potentially lead to brake failure. It is important to have the brake pad properly secured to ensure safe driving.
How do you remove rear caliper on 2006 Malibu?
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.
What is the difference between a teves caliper and akebono caliper?
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.
Why is my brake caliper rubbing on the rotor?
Your brake caliper may be rubbing on the rotor due to misalignment or wear and tear on the brake components. This can cause friction and lead to braking issues. It is important to have a professional inspect and repair the brake system to ensure safe driving.
How do you get the brake caliper to unlock?
how do you get the brake caliper push in to put new brake on
How does the Brake Piston Cube work?
The Brake Piston Cube is a cube-shaped tool used to retract brake caliper pistons in vehicles when changing brake pads. Its design allows it to fit into the caliper housing and apply even pressure to retract the pistons back into the caliper, facilitating easier brake pad replacement. By turning the Brake Piston Cube, the pistons are compressed uniformly without damaging the caliper or seals.
Why are my brakes sticking when applied while stopping. it brings the car to a complete stop without touching the pedal?
If the caliper or brake piston were damaged, that would cause them to stick. Another possibility is that there is too much brake fluid and the relaxed position has the pads has them biting the disc.
Why is my brake caliper rubbing against the rotor?
Your brake caliper may be rubbing against the rotor due to misalignment, worn brake pads, or a malfunctioning caliper. This can cause friction and lead to decreased braking performance and potential damage to the components. It is important to address this issue promptly to ensure safe driving conditions.
Why do your 2000 deawoo Nubia pull to the right when it change gears also when you slow down it pull to the left?

What is a brake caliper used for?
A brake caliper will squeeze your brake pads in your car against the brake rotor surface allowing it to stop or slow your vehicle down. The brake caliper is clamped on the rotor.
Had new wheels put on and ticks when braking what is it?
The noise is the brake caliper body touching the stick-on wheel weights that were placed inside the wheel to balance it. The wheels probably leave very little room between them and the brake caliper. When you press the brake, the caliper body slides outward a bit (this is normal) and starts touching the wheel weights that were previously, just barely, not touching the caliper. Who ever put your wheels on didn't do anything wrong, except they didn't test drive it afterwards (a good tech always does a confirmation test drive after every repair). If they would have, they would have heard the noise and did this repair. They need to grind away at the caliper body just enough to make sure the caliper doesn't touch the wheel weights. The weights probably can't be moved without throwing the wheels out of balance. The other option is to put the original wheels back on the car because they are designed with the proper amount of clearance.
