It would be worth checking the off side to make sure the piston and caliper moved freely. Remember you will have added fresh grease on the near side, so it could theoretically move quicker and more.easily,and give.that grabbing effect.
It is always a good idea to do anything with brakes as axle sets, as the risk of what you are experiencing. It is not always needed or done, but it will maintain balance. It may be worth hunt out that other caliper to refurbish.then you could just swap it out without the struggle you had previously. Sent from my SM-A600FN using Tapatalk

Whist I think the offside is ok I understand that perhaps it could be sluggish and is only showing up now. I'm retired, I have no home of my own and no job. Hopefully I (we) will have "my" own home by end of June and that, will be a full time job. If we get the place we are looking at, I don't know if to do the garage first or the house first. Which ever is first I dont think we will be able to spend Christmas in it. macafee2 |

Just finished the ZS front brakes, bled them both and pedal is fine, haven't touched the rear brakes, or bled them. Think we did the same: clamped the hose(s), to reduce fluid loss. I'll move onto the rear brakes at some time as they need overhauling, just like your other caliper
Keep well Last edited by vitesse; 27th April 2021 at 16:15.. |
