(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/sad.gif) Any suggestions on what to do? the RR outboard pads have zero clearance to the disc and I can't seem to make the outboard adjuster do anything - brakes seem to work fine (other than the sticking pads) - is it likely a seized piston? if so what are my options?
have already considered big hammer help! (stock white 74 1.8 - if I ever get technologically with it I'll post a pic) |

You could remove the caliper (or at least take it off the mouting ears) and remove the pads. Then you could look at the condition of the dust boots. If they're torn then chances are that water has gotten in there and rusted the top of the piston where it goes into the bore. You "may" want to try a c-clamp to move it but generally, if you have to go to those extremes then it will need a rebuild.
Make sure the 13mm nut is loose before you attempt to turn the adjuster (had to throw that in there because I've probably seen 50 or so stripped adjusters). |
