Sticky rear brakes

[Siliconsteve]

My rear brake has become gradually squeakier in last week and it suffers from a brake grabbing first thing in morning so I gave myself an hour off to look at it earlier.
I no these suffer from calipers but in my case it was easier.
It turned out the carrier where the pad sits was pitted from rust which in turn was pushing the metal clip forward and seizing pads. Quick file and a clean and it's sorted. So check yours before ordering a caliper

Worth knowing !

Makes a change to sort something and not have to part with a grand

Why is that?

Why is that?

Because I've been waiting to see what hitches you had with yours before I get mine on the go. Still will be easy for me now!

Thanks for your story about rear brakes. It is so important that pads move free. Worth to check couple times a year, and fresh copper greases between pads and slide surfaces. Top tip, you can buy those metal clips from motor factor. Under 10£. / set

Yes agree fully with copper slip . I couldn't find mine but will be re greasing asap

Those clips were something like 7euros from my local shop. I got some wear and corrosion in my rear brake clips. I will replace those, when i have time.
