what have you tried?probably the piston sticking in. i've had it, wound piston out, cleaned it up, wound it back in, put a new dust boot over the caliper. my old one was shredded so i can only assume debris has got into the piston outer area and eventually jammed it ________________________________________ 306 rallye reproduction decals (full sets/individual decals) | 306 b-pillar textured vinyl weatherstrips306 slam panel esso stickers | 306 yellow / orange / pension fund red side door badges gti6 inlet manifold badges | 306 rear boot badges (p2/p3) winner of Extraction of toys from prams with outstanding vigour award 2009 [source: gti6 owners club] |

Copper grease will make it worse - it's not a lubricant, it's an anti-seize compound. High-temperate lithium grease would be much better  Both I and Pellowe have had issues with people using copper slip on the rear sliders and having them seize up. You can buy a whole new seal kit (Big Redd are the best bet IIRC), as long as you're vaguely technical it's not a problem - you take the caliper off, take it all apart, clean it up and degrease it and put it back together with the new seals. If you can't be bothered with all that, you might find it easier to just buy a known working set of rear calipers off here, shouldn't cost you more than about £30. ________________________________________ Membership expiring soon, get in contact on our new little forum project. |

High-temperate lithium grease would be much better Agree witht he copper grease but I would not use lithium grease - It will perish the rubber seals. I would grease the slide pins and the Piston (wind out apply wind in and out) with Millers Red Rubber grease (1000 degree boiling point). The brake fluid will also need changing if the brakes were stuck on for the last 2000 miles. |

If you brakes are getting this hot your fluid will be knackered ________________________________________ Membership expiring soon, get in contact on our new little forum project. |
