Having a bit of trouble with the drivers side rear caliper..

When drifting I still use the original cable handbrake it locks up fine but starting to lockover the mechanism on the caliper lately ..
Ive replaced the pads it was doing it before and still after it seems to be working fine otherwise just a bastard to hammer it back and can lock over again after just a few minutes out so would like to get it sorted..

Here is whats locking over circled in red..

Is it as simple as just stripping it back and cleaning up the mechanism or is it wear on the setup itself?

Heat might have weakened the spring

Why would you do this to me:(



Meh might just throw on a new caliper so Im not strong enough to pull a hydro so thats not an option:grin:
