Brakes

Hi

Iv just changed all my disc and pads on my vrs, after a test run found 1 hub hot and the pedal is a bit spungey can you advise anything I can do?

Cheers

it will take a few hundred miles for the pads and discs to bed in !!!

if still spongy then i would bleed the system

[antbann]

Also I have changed a brake caliper I have blead the system, why would the hub be hot and the other side warm?

[missingmyvrs]

how did you bleed the brakes ?? why change the caliper?? you sure the calipers not getting stuck on ???

give us a few more details of all you did to the car and why please

[Chris Coates]

Yeah, one hub hot sounds suspiciously like stuck on calipers.

Hi

What it was I changed all my discs and pads due to high speed shaking when braking, I changed the front wheel caliper due to it being seized and piston wouldn't push in, I wound the back 2 in before I put the pads on the back brakes, I blead the system with a self bleed kit and a second person pressing Pedal

Thanks

[Chris Coates]

And the one you changed - is that the one getting hot?

[antbann]

No I changed the one at te front right and the rear left is getting hot

[Chris Coates]

Then it must definitely be binding on...

...I'm not far from you, could always pop over and we could take a good look if needs be.

[antbann]

Yeah if you can spare the time mate it would be good

Would also be worth bleeding the brakes properly using a pressure bleeder, sounds like you used the pedal method which is not a good idea and can cause loads of problems on an octy including master cylinder failure.
