Sticking Caliper

[BlueMR2]

Front driver side caliper has started to stick...front passenger side did it last year but I got a garage to recon it for £80...is it easy enough to do yourself or shall I just take it down the garage and get it sorted by them?

Any how-to guides would be good also...

Rico - Cheque will be posted shortly this has delayed it..always happens when u least want it too... :censor:

Sorry guys forgot to add its a Rev3...then technical how 2's only show a rev1...

all it should need is some patience and grease.

No problem mate.

Jim has a full set of callipers here for sale if you need one.

(probably a cheaper option)

Try getting a part number and i'll check them to see if they are the same

Ok mate...just checked on brakes.co.uk and the part number on there is...BCA2079 R/H Caliper...dunno if that would correspond with the Toyota part numbers?

its a well easy job mate...just need someone to pump the brake pedal to bleed the brakes

in easy steps:

1) take wheel of and jack car up

2) clamp the brake hose (a special tool can be used if not you can use some mole clips but tighten them using the screw to avoid damage to the hose

3)unbolt caliper

4)bolt on new caliper put new brake pads in

5)bleed brakes

6)put wheel on

7) take oppersite wheel of change brake pads

you have to change brake pads in pairs same if you change disks

if you need any detailed help just ask me ;) but its not worth paying a garage to do it

Ok.. That part number doesn't appear on the calipers

The only numbers on it where 36T25 printed near the bottom on the main face of the caliper

Dunno if they are the correct ones or not mate...
