Hey, For a while now my passenger side rear caliper has been locking up under hard braking, no leaks anywhere and it bled fluid out both sides fine. I rang up for rebuild kits and they were all $120-95 a side! so last time I was in the wreckers I got a caliper for the side that wasn't locking, still the same problem! today I re-greased the 2 outer caliper bolts but its still doing it, any ideas?
Anyway the passenger side rear caliper is working TOO well? thanks. |

Yeah there is no way its the brake pedal adjustment, hence why I was confused.
I had spare calipers so I took them apart and cleaned them up (they weren't too bad) and then I put them in and bled the whole system, still exactly the same...only now the brake light is on. Its not leaking, the lines aren't pinched and I've had 2 seperate calipers on that do the same so what else could it be? Brake light was on as the fluid was too full  .
