reeceu Posted August 29, 2010 Share Posted August 29, 2010 hey jay who is refurbing them?? 1 of mine that i done myself re-seized, it turned out i had split the rubber whilst putting the retaining metal ring in! i re did it again and has been fine since, i have done all my self and apart from that they have been good now for 6 months. could just be something that small if you did them, urself. if not have you checked the caliper for cracks especially around the bleed nipple??

Homer Posted August 29, 2010 Share Posted August 29, 2010 Are these sliding calipers and if so is it the sliders or pistons that are seizing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted August 29, 2010 Share Posted August 29, 2010 The sliders are seized, probably on other wheels, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jay5041 Posted August 29, 2010 Author Share Posted August 29, 2010 They are J-Spec 2pots not sure what type doh! But if i've had 3 different calipers on the same wheel, with the same problem it sounds like i need another visit to you chris. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted August 29, 2010 Share Posted August 29, 2010 I am a dab hand sorting seized sliders out and have all the bits in stock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
