Title: brake probs...
Post by: paul.p on December 02, 2007, 22:42:03
got a brake pull to the right on my 300tdi, when had tyres changed last week found grease on back of n/s front disc and on pads, swivel leaking...  today i cleaned all grease up, had disc off, no grease left on that, fitted new pads, but still got brake pull.so thinking poss by a sticking caliper?? so if gotta change caliper are 200/300 ones same? and read something about 110 calipers being a good swap? help please!

are you sure it was the swivell causing the fault . usually its the inner wheel brg seal which causes this. the pads are then well contaminated. think i left mine in genclean then swapped 1 with the other side . alan.....

Yes 110 callipers should fitas they are single circuit like yours.  Make sure you get the vented ones though if you have vented disks!

I had sticky caliper problems with my Disco, I eased the pistons part way out gave them a good clean. Popped them back in making sure the seals where good. I haven't had any problems since.
