caliper :(

hext · Feb 28, 2010

hey guys

was wondering if anyone knows why the brake pad would be rubbing on the "hub" part of the disc like this, I did a search and wondered if siezed pistons would be the issue?

please see below pic.

Thanks

all brake disks develop a 'lip' on the edge as they wear.

as for the rubbing on the hub, it almost looks as tho the brake pad has slipped down, not the actual calliper, just check to see if the pad is properly seated.

Thanks, coolkrio

I've check the seating and it seems ok, it does seem to be missing at stop that is allowing the retaing spring/clip it to push down on the disc...

I had this on a Discovery once. Turned out that part of the caliper had worn away and was letting the pads drop down too far. Swapped in a good 2nd hand one off the shelf and all good. I suspect that you will find it is a similar problem.

Hi Andy, thanks for the advise.

I've double checked the brake pads from the other side and all is correct, time to change the caliper.
