Sticking 172 front caliper

[hipwell]

Just noticed my front right caliper is sticking quite bad.

Had the caliper off and gave the sliders a good clean up and also pumped the piston in and out a few times and then gave them a little bleed but they still seem to be sticking.

What options do I have? Are rebuild kits readily available?

Are these ok? Price seems reasonable with Halloween discount

That will be fine.

Does the piston move in as easily compared to the other side?

Not compared it to the other side bit it was very tight going back in even with my caliper pushing it tool. I'll check the other side tomorow.

that link is the wrong caliper mate @hipwell , it's for the smaller engine/braked cars

You want them to suit the 24mm thick discs :up:

Thanks George. Bloody euros, that came up when I put my reg in.

Well I've just fit a big red refurb kit so fingers crossed it will be ok.
All bled fine with no leaks, kit seems good quality.

Wish I'd ordered some stainless bleed nipples though.
