Just noticed my offside front brake is dragging :(

The wheel is getting much warmer than the nearside one. What's the easiest way of fixing this? I presume the caliper is getting corroded or something?

New caliper? or strip and grease? :?

In the old days I would have said strip and rebuild. But nowadays its extremely difficult to buy rebuild kits for calipers, so you are looking at a recon or brand new one.

Either that or stick some decent calipers on. :wink:

I have a 2nd hand one, or try www.gsfcarparts.com for a new re-con unit.
