Alright guys n gals

wee part time problem with my rear caliper/carrier

now and again getting a sort of juddering effect from rear caliper.

replaced the caliper about 3 weeks ago and found the pin to be seized again, when replacing it I,
freed it off, sanded and cleaned everything checked everything was moving and greased up ,refitted.

its like the pin or pins are sticking in the carrier and not allowing the caliper to move properly.

anyone experienced the same? possibly the pins a little bent?

EDIT* should point out that this corner has been stripped and serviced about 5 times coz of the pin sticking*

any info appreciated ,also if you have a spare carrier and pins to sell could you let me know

cheers!!

Would the wrong pin the the worng slider hole cause that? One of the pins has flat sides.

very possibly mate the first time i stripped the rear brakes down the top pin was seized solid and the end of it was a bit gnarled with vice grip attention
think i remember swapping them over as the bottom one was fine mmmmmm my dumb
shall have a look
cheers merlin thought pins were same

ok so i ordered the two pins today from the stealer £20.63 and they are different will post up my results when i change them
cheers

im fairly sure the pin with the flat sides goes into the carrier hole that is nearest to the ground
