For the brakes? It doesn't need one.

^yeah but they do have one, seen a few seized ones now, they're cira £250ish i think

 

[sam JFM]

Ouch! Reno only part? Any way of fixing one that is seized?

 

[Fred@BTM]

why do you think you need a new one?

main dealer only

 

[sam JFM]

Just had an mot and recorded 0% effort. Garage say they are not getting fluid from the caliper side of the compensator. Sound normal?

 

[Fred@BTM]

does the arm move?

Seen a few seize, the rear brakes on a cup don't do much but they should do more than 0%

spray alot of wd40(duck-oil,plusgas) around the arm
might need to do multiple times

big grips and slowly wiggly it.
it may come lose after a while and you will be lucky.
(its not supposed to move alot anyway)

 

[sam JFM]

Not sure tbh, not seen it how much should the arm move? It's not connected to the shell on a cup right?

Not its not connected, braking effort is fixed.
