In Reply to: brake caliper dragging again - overhaul hints? posted by Max Fretter (NZ 87 735i) on September 09, 2001 at 07:04:19:

Caliper guide bolts already done last time & lightly oiled (motorcycle chain oil - great adhesion, rubber safe, doesn't dry out). I'll geet moved into the new house & try a backpressure check on the caliper (to check the hoses) and then maybe move onto the calipers them selves.

Cheers.

Hi all... been kinda quiet here in the new city, been using the bus most days (I know, blasphemy, but no parking yet) and then I go for a 50min tootle around the unfamiliar town (no more than 50-60kph) and the damn rear left caliper is dragging again, enough to get the wheel nice-&-stinky hot.

I solved this last time by new fluid & a good flush out of the caliper; wasn't the handbrake shoes, and the other side at the rear with the same pads & rotor age is A-OK... so how hard is it to dismantle/rebuild the caliper, maybe including a light hone (VERY LIGHT!!) too??

Anyone done this?

Max (suffering E32 withdrawl)
