Are brake callipers fixable

[Ben H]

Sounds like my disc rear brake callipers are binding.

Last time this happened on my Valver, I needed two new ones at a high £££ cost! Is there any way of repairing them?

Cheers

some calipers you can get replacement seals or piston kits. depends on if they are available and what the price difference is between that and a caliper might be as cost effective to replace the whole unit tbh

strip the brakes down first and clean/grease all caliper/pads slides.caliper repair kits are no longer avaliable from renault.

I was looking for caliper rebuild kits recently for valver rear calipers, didnt find any, but then didnt look particularily hard. Let us know if you find them anywhere. Totally strip caliper down hammer slides out, clean any rust etc, slap on loads of grease and put back together. Keeps them free for awhile, but if like me your seals are knacked it will defo be back soon. Are repair kits available from eurocarparts or anywhere?

Euro Car Parts do an exchange on Calipers.. probably best/easiest.

Nah,

Best/easiest/cheapest is the spare set i keep for a rainy day!
