Ashkellybarr Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 Hey so I've developed a problem with my from drivers side calliper its a Toyota spider style. seems to not disengage properly and is still holding a bit of pressure on the disc. so much so when I remove the wheel and turn the hub by hand I haft to put my elbow into it to turn it. i can hear the pads on the disc when turning. is there a trick to getting it to loosen up or does the calliper need to be removed and serviced? cheers ash looks off more off centre then it is from photo angle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AllTorque Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 Most likely seized slide pins. See if you can undo them. It's the two 12 or 14mm bolts top and bottom of the caliper. Be carefull, if they are completely seized you might snap them. Then it's time to find a second hand caliper. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carsnz123 Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 It's brake calliper overhaul time. I had the same problem. Freed the up by working the piston and slider a bit. Month or so down the track they seized up again. Pull the caliper to bits. Sand blast the housing and put new seals and dust boots in. Replace the pistons too if they are pitted. 2 front calipers on my crown cost about $110 with new pistons. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashkellybarr Posted April 27, 2017 Author Share Posted April 27, 2017 Sweet I'll give the pins a try. Possibly upgrading soon so don't want to spend money unless I really haft too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
