Just drive carefully you'll have rear brakes

BOOMER · Nov 8, 2012

We know it's ok to do, DV is an eggspurt at driving with only one front brake

Probably saturn by the time they've been flicked off the back wheel of a passing Jag.

Looks like the pistons in your caliper have seized.

1. remove the caliper and brake pads from the car
2. pump out pistons 5mm with brake pedal
3. clean pistons with brake cleaner and an old toothbrush
4. reset pistons into caliper with a G clamp
5. work pistons in and out to free them off (see 2 and 4)
6. see 4
7. refit caliper and brake pads then reset the pistons to working clearance with the brake pedal - check brake fluid level !!
8. take car for a spin and test brakes

Sorted

Working with broken down cars at the roadside is what I do - but ony with the flashing lights, hi-viz and good insurance cover!

Right well now im ****ed, the AA sent out some blokes called KartecUK as sub contractors, once picked up i had to drive the landy nto the back of the truck, and then the bloke proceeded to smoke, text, facebook, make personal phone calls, not wear a seat belt and drive like a ****ing maniac.

As a result of this **** poor driving, i now dont have a hand brake nor can i select hi-lo box...

What has this man DONE to me..

Tazz070299 · Nov 9, 2012

How has his driving affected your hi-low box? I presume the handbrake problem is what you had at the start?
