Calipers

[Enes]

Well the car hasn't been driven for about 5 months, and its been sitting there with e-brake on the whole time.

I took it out for a ride yesterday and today to work, and i noticed that the rear passenter side one is kind of dusty more than others.

Well it looks like its catching a little bit and heating up like a mofo.

What would you guys suggest?

Going big brake is not an option. I don't want to have to use spacers or 18" rims all the time.

Wait so the back caliper put a *dent* into your rotor? If so just get the rotor turned..... Or if its really bad get a new one.

no dents or anything that i know..

just a fact that its catching a little or not releasing completely.


I will take it off tonight and take a look at it maybe just needs cleaning. or it just wants some loving from the sledge hamer...

Glad I left my ebrake off for the winter, sorry to hear that though.

Your caliper piston might be frozen. Do a rebuild or atleast take it apart.

Just let me know if you need brakes torn apart, for I am :bowdown: the brake rebuilding master. :banana:

Make sure that e-brake cable didnt just rust and stick. Check that before tearing apart the caliper.
