Brake caliper repair kit: replacement and selection
When and why a brake caliper repair kit needs replacement
The brake caliper has no specified lifetime limit. Repair is necessary in case some separate elements of the unit are damaged. Particularly, you’ll need a repair kit if the caliper guide sleeve is corroded. Moreover, if component dust boots have lost integrity due to abrasive damage, their replacement is also required. A new piston is needed if the old one got jammed.
Brake caliper components break down because they operate in the area of constant temperature changes. Moreover, they contact with dirt often, which causes abrasive damages. Water influence can cause corrosion of the guide sleeve. Such situation often takes place because of dust boot wear-out and appearance of breakages and microcracks on it.
A cause of piston defect can be loss of its hermeticity due to bad condition of seals which are responsible for tightness. Most often piston jamming happens because of corrosion.
Appearance of screeching and squeaking sounds in the wheel area while braking indicates the necessity of brake caliper repair. Moreover, stains of brake fluid are noticeable on wheels.
During repair you should grease the guides and anti-squeal shims. It is recommended to examine the brake pad condition when installing a brake caliper repair kit. Thickness of every pad should be equal. It is important that there are no shears, cracks and other defects on the surface of pads. Replace the brake pads if needed. Moreover, during repairs it is recommended to check the condition of brake caliper springs which press pads to it. If they are out of order, they are also replaced.
