sticky caliper
Hi all, I have an 02 PI that all of a sudden has developed a sticky caliper on the drivers side front. Short of replacing the caliper, is there anything that can be done for this? Thank you

Re: sticky caliper
Hey Kev. Have you checked the caliper slides and pins? Rust on these can cause a caliper to have some problems.

Re: sticky caliper
they looked ok when I did the brakes and rotors but I guess some anti-seize can never hurt. I didn't have any when I did the brakes. Thank you

Re: sticky caliper
A deteriorated flex line can also cause this.

Re: sticky caliper
You should check this out I have had many people come to the garage with a smoking rotor because of this if your guides aren't sticking and your hoses are good as was suggested buy rebuilt calipers it got to the point a rebuild kit was close to a rebuilt caliper and only available at the dealer. If you wait to long.Then you need a new rotor also maybe two.

Re: sticky caliper
I took them apart and anti siezed the slides as well as checked the lines. It seems to have improved greatly so I am keeping an eye on it. Thank you
