Hey,
I'm after changing my rear pads and discs but I've got a seized calliper pin. Didn't notice until I went to put everything back together. First time and all that.. Is that something a mechanic can usually fix if I drop the calliper in to them? Or should I just buy another one? Havn't a hope of fixin it myself I don't think :(
Or does anyone know anywhere in Galway that fixes/refurbs em?
Cheers! :)
is it the slider on the caliper your on about conor???they're easy fix!!
emm, not sure, I'd say so yeh. The two springy bits that push the calliper open when it's not in use. The 2 bolts come out of them when yer changin pads. Bottom one is well stuck tho, dunno if I'll be able to get it un-stuck. I'll take it off again this eve anyways and see what I can do bout it. Probaby need grease and stuff!
Had the same problem recently and broke the slider trying to free it up :( Should have a spare caliper/slider there if your stuck
Cheers dude, had a chat with Dara there and he was sayin to try fix it myself - give it a bit of a hidin :) So I'll have a go at it anyways and sure if I fuck it up I'll get back to ya :)
Cheers for the replies there lads. Just got it unstuck there now :)
you do it the way i told ya to??
I did surely man - cheers! There's 2 small holes in one of the boots, and I got that shitty spray can of copper grease in halfords and its pure watery. But it'll do as it is till I get new boots and grease. Hopefully this wknd. Would any of the parts shops around galway have the right boots i wonder
i doubt they would man but iv good condition boots out the garage i think ya can have them free if ya wana call out for them...pm me your number an ill check an let ya know....that copper grease in a can is useless ya should invest in a small tub of it there only bout 5e an will last ya AGES!!
Class, I will, was in a rush the last day and it was the first one I spotted. Ah I'll throw ya a few quid for em if ya have some spare. Still have to go at the opposite wheel yet.
