Rear near side capliper

Jungle · Feb 21st, 2018, 13:24

Fronts and rear were sticking (170K), all cleaned but near rear side is not playing ball.
Booked in to garage next Tuesday.
Maybe someone has one spare?

You can get a full rebuild kit for ate calipers or a full recon ate is £75 from Misterauto.
Cheaper pattern ones also on eBay.

Messed around with stuck calipers and purchased used ones before. Dont last long so I purchased this :-

Excellent quality and works fine

Why buy second hand when you can have new ! ?

I've refurbished all four of my calipers using repair kits (including new pistons) from
BiggRed on eBay - good quality kits at good prices. Be sure to clean up the caliper body properly - I used a Dremmel with a thin wire brush to get into the tricky places. The chrome on the piston needs to be perfect, this is often the reason for siezure.

Cheers for suggestion everyone.
I need to keep it on the road for another 50K at least so will need to invest.

My excellent mechanic was surprised at 1. Next day RM delivery 2. Price 3. Did not have to exchange old unit

Other than retaining clip not being as good as original, all went well and we will be using this brand again for went rest need doing.

Great result from Forum, thanks again.
