just a bit of lube ?


I freed it off a couple off times, but long term it needs striped down and seals changed. £8 for seals and an hours work :)

Would a new calliper be easier to do ?

I had some pattern rear pads in my Custom and the friction material started delaminating from them, I'd get an irritating squeal once they'd warmed up. Does it go when the brakes/handbrake are applied? Take the pads out and check them.

Yeah it does mate. When I turn the steering wheel slightly left and right too, like a rubbing metal on metal squeal.

Did a pad change cure the problem ? Thanks for replying
