Seize rear Caliper
hey guys,
is there any way of knowing if a rear caliper is seize by looking at it. i'm trying to save me on time and money by taking it to a shop and having them look at it. there's a good chance it is, but if its not then i rather not spend the extra money if not needed. Thanks in advance Mike |
depends, have you done rear brakes before? What part are you stuck at?
|
I've never done brakes before, and i'm thinking of doing it with my dad this weekend who knows alittle about brakes. not sure if they are stuck, i just know that i down to metal. can't even see the pads in the passenger rear. last year i replace the driver rear caliper due to it. it wasn't cheap.

rather then staring a thread i think im in the same boat as you TOP_DAWG. heres my post from ----:
"hey, I just put on my summer rims/tires this morning. My car is a 2001 integra LS from what im seein were not in for any snow(i hope) but anyways. i took it for a quick spin around the block after so the shocks and everything are sitting properly after jacking up/down the car. and i noticed from what appeared to be the front passenger side that there was a kinda scraping noise. not all the time though. at first i thought maybe it was the dust sheild rubbing the rotor or something but that didnt seem to be it. after a closer look i noticed that the brake pad on the front passenger is worn more than my front driver side. there is still a bit of meat on the pad but enough for me to warrent changing the pad. im just curious if it could be the caliper seizing up as well? i can spin the rotor just fine with the tire off if that lil bit of info helps" |
i will do it for you for some $$. pm me if your interested
