Ok got the dredded front NS Calliper issue, Seems its binding on and getting to the stage now where its happening daily. Allready had it greased up twice but looks like its here for good now.

using the search i found a few threads on it but nothing really usefull.

looking at a new calliper the price is very depressing so is there any other options?

I dont really want to erplace the pads as thast not going to fix the issue only delay it.

Are there piston rebuild kits avalible in the UK for the S?

All help is greatly appriciated.

 

If you can afford for the s to be of the road a couple days !take caliper off and let it sock in freeing oil!that can somtimes help! i know it did for my old datsun z

 

don't do that. you'll damage the rubber seals.

if the piston is sticking, its sticking for a reason, ie corrosion or crud. You really need to get the piston out to see what's causing it to stick.

 

I had this problem and contacted some of the breakers listed here (and was inundated with offers of suitable replacment calipers.

In the end, I bought a caliper of a written off 2005 car with just 3000 miles on the clock, delivered to, and fitted by, my friendly local Honda service dept it cost me just over

 

My sister had similar problem on her hrv the other day. Ended up the brake fluid was contaminated and the master piston had fudged up because of it. Might be worth checking your fluid.

 

I would remove the pads , pump the piston out as far as possible without going all the way ( obviously ) then clean it up .

I suspect a lot of sticking calipers are due to folk not cleaning the pistons up when they fit new pads and just wind all the crud back in .

 

When they go on the S, they seem to be beyond repair i have replaced two rears in the past.

Should be about

 

You can get rebuild kits, I've seen ade73 post about them before

 

my rear ns did this - I wouldnt go driving it if it is happening or it could cost you even more...............mine cost 350 gutted
