Title: siezed drivers front brake caliper
Post by: ald1717 on January 29, 2022, 09:32:48 pm

front drivers side brake caliper seems to be sticking, has anyone had success in cleaning the piston up and greasing or is it a replacement caliper needed

I rebuilt mine about 2 years ago for £42 after sticking.
