i changed my pads and discs monday all ok until the brake pipe fractured but that was replaced quickly! I have adjusted the hanbrake modestly but my nsr brake calliper feels to be holding when driving! On the ramp ita free as a bird. The only thing obvious is the handbrake arm of sorts on the calliper barely moves and sticks on! Is this common after rear pad replacement? And is it a replacement calliper time? Thanks for any advice olly

The arm on the back of the caliper is a commont problem on any car wiv discs on back u. An free the arm

Of but it wil happen again sumtimes best 2 buy new caliper

Thats my job tommorrow freeing it off then seeing the price of a new calliper. I have seen an old thread about fitting springs on the back of the handbrake adjuster to take the pressure off it. Has anyone done this to cure a similar fault?

It is t reli worth it 2 much as its already got a spring on the arm my dad had same problem on his leon that y i always greese them up when i buy car lol wire brush it of spray with wd40 n work handbrake

Cheers mate, i had seen the larger spring on another thread and was unsure it it could help at all. I am going to clean, remove and grease the handbrake arms tomorrow and hope for the best really!

That is all u can do apart from replacein the caliper if u remove the hole caliper just make sure the cable move free back n forward
