Brakes sticking on rear - sparkysparks - 29-06-2015 Hi guys, I have an issue with my rear brakes. They seem to stick when I pull off, and the handbrake is rubbish. Ive got new cables on the way, is there anything specific I need to do to get them on. Do I need to reset the yoke in the cabin? Thanks Mark Also, my ABS is an issue. Will sticking rear brakes be causing the ECU a headache? The light will pop on after about 10 mins driving then stay on till ive turned the car off and on again. Thanks Also forgot to mention its a rear disc HDI Brakes sticking on rear - Frosty - 29-06-2015 Are your brakes disc or drum? RE: Brakes sticking on rear - sparkysparks - 29-06-2015 Their discs. RE: Brakes sticking on rear - Jonny81191 - 29-06-2015 Assuming the discs and pads are good, you want to remove the pads and carrier, clean them up thoroughly with a wire brush and sandpaper on the sliders. Reassemble with a bit of copper grease on the sliders and the back of the pads. If that doesn't fix it, you're most likely looking at caliper issues and will need a rebuild kit or a new one/s. For the handbrake cables, I'd back off the adjuster in the cabin, release the inside ends, pull them through under the car, remove them from the calipers and then reassemble starting under the car. It's worth putting a touch of copper grease on the end of the cable where it sits in the caliper before attaching to the lever, it helps with getting them out again. RE: Brakes sticking on rear - sparkysparks - 29-06-2015 Discs are ok. Pads are brand new. They needed forcing to get into the spider infact as they were too thick. This issue was there before I put new pads in btw. RE: Brakes sticking on rear - Jonny81191 - 29-06-2015 Right.. Some manufacturers manage to get the friction material too thick, if you've forced a set in then that'll most likely be your problem. Pull it all apart and see; if they've worn evenly and move freely on the sliders, they'll be OK. If not, get some new pads and go from there. RE: Brakes sticking on rear - sparkysparks - 29-06-2015 Well i had this problem before i got these pads in, and admitedly they were worn at an angle. Do you think this is a caliper issue then? RE: Brakes sticking on rear - Jonny81191 - 29-06-2015 Still sounds to me like slider issues, how well did you clean the carrier up? And when you say too thick, you mean the friction material, right? If they're too tight into the carrier, they'll bind, wear unevenly, overheat etc.. RE: Brakes sticking on rear - sparkysparks - 29-06-2015 They were nice and clean when i put the new pads in, It was either friction material of the paint on the pad. I did have to remove the metal bits to fit them in aswell. I know the drivers handbrake cable is knackered. It scraped through on the mot. RE: Brakes sticking on rear - sparkysparks - 05-07-2015 Job done. Didnt even need to take the wheels off. Nice and easy, hardest part was getting the rears out of the calipers. This still hasnt cured my abs fault though. RE: Brakes sticking on rear - adam b - 05-07-2015 Check the abs cables then clean the sensor rings. They rust and the sensor can't read them If not it's a dead sensor RE: Brakes sticking on rear - Matt - 06-07-2015 Wire brush! Clean the lot up! It's surprising how bloody rusty they get. It's what caused mine to get sticky RE: Brakes sticking on rear - sparkysparks - 06-07-2015 I have tried to clean the rings and the sensors before. I have even checked the resistance at the ECU and they're all similar and within spec. Is there a problem that you can solve putting a spacer in between?
