Yesterday, my front left modified BMW 320i caliper began squeeking when pedal is off and going slow. Hit the pedal a couple of times and it went away. Got home and checked to see if caliper was hot. Pretty hot.
Is there a quick fix to this; or does the caliper need to be removed and sent in ? |

Nope. No lubrication.
Rust in the cylinder bore usually causes the cylinders to stick. You can usually polish it out with some 400+ grit sandpaper when you do the rebuild. If you can R&R a caliper, you CAN rebuild the caliper. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Recommend you do both both calipers on the same axle. Invest in a couple cans of brake cleaner to help clean things up. -Rusty (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smoke.gif) |
