Re: Brake Problem

I've just had problems with a sticking piston in my front offside brake caliper. There was no loss of fluid but it was noticable that the car was pulling to one side and a bit sluggish.
Take one brake pad out at a time from the suspect wheel, get someone to slowly press the brake pedal an watch to see if the piston moves freely out of the caliper. If it does move freely, lever the piston back so you can get the brake pad back in and then try the other pad.
I had one piston sticking and with working it in and out I hope I might have got away with having to stip the calliper down.
Good luck!!!
