hi to all.
i dont know where to start really but here goes!
the problem started with a very loose handbrake so i got underneath and watched the lever on the caliper and the o/s rear one wasnt moving(i had this problem 6 months ago and the lever freed up with some wd 40 )now its rearing its ugly head again!! ive sprayed it again and its a little looser but nowhere near the one on the otherside.ive had the pads out on the o/s and the outer one is nearly worn out but the inner one has a lot more friction material on it.ive also done a clean up but when the job is done and the wheel back on you can still here rubbing as though the pads are cathing the disc.its only doing it on the off side rear. : the front brakes seem ok.
could there be a seizure somewhere or possibly air??have i dropped a ******* somewhere? throughout ive used haynes but im just thinking i didnt remove the brake fluid filler cap(could this be a problem??)the piston went in okand i lined the long notch up with the pip .i was fairly confident at doing this but now im bewildered.could anybody help me please?? thankyou ps i hope ive made sense
