Sticking Rear Brakes

[mikeymikewakey]

I think my brakes are sticking at the back and they dont work overly brilliant anyway and Ive been advised by the guys that did my engineers report to pay some attention to them. I think its a possiblity my calipers have seized, and just wondering if I will need new ones or if I can just buy some new seals or rings to sort it?
If so, anyone got a guide cos I may tighten my handbrake while im at it.

I have just had a go at mine.
In summary take the pads out. and you will see the slider.
I sprayed wd40 under the rubbers, and used a hammer to hit the slider back and forth till it moved free.
Then i undid the brake reservrior cap and screwed the pistons back and then closed the cap and pushed them back out and put wd40 onto it.
Would of worked for both but one of mine was badly seized on the slider.

The money it costs for new seals your better off getting a refurbed caliper.

I have a brand new reno caliper I was going to use on the hybrid.....could let you have it cheaper than refurbed jobby
