Having struggled for ages to move a sticky caliper piston using G clamps and old pads, I wondered if that was the whole story?
Turns out the flexi hose had collapsed internally and was acting as a one way valve (i.e. not releasing pressure). This was confirmed when I took it off and tried to blow through it. Blocked solid. As I was taught all those years ago, Think Simple! So, before spending a chunk of cash on Calipers, it might be worth checking the hoses first. Hope this helps, James. |
