Well... - Matt - 11-06-2016
remeber my thread about a flashing handbrake light?
Well, after sorting it by topping up. It lasted until today, it came back on and realised its a problem.
Checked out, turns out my n/s rear brake caliper has exploded.
There's fluid all over the caliper, tyre, rim and it's slattered onto the exhaust shield
So looks like I'm talking the caliper off tomorrow.
Any advice? Never touched a caliper before, never had to really do them,
I have a spare caliper, but the handbrake is stuck in there, what can I use to drift through?

make sure the nipple on the new one is loose! Apart from that its all pretty easy, drift handbrake out while calliper is still on the car, but expect some damage to the cable.

Give me a buzz if you get stuck. I'm just round the corner with all my tools
