Brake Caliper Seizure?

[dpbxx]

Several forum members in various threads have complained of seized brake calipers. I have not had this, and nor am I looking forward to, this problem.

What exactly has been the main cause of the seizure, maybe I and others can take preventive measures to eliminate the problem.

Is it that the pistons seize in the pots? Do the pads seize in the caliper? Are the pads seizing onto the pins? or is it just general corrosion causing a little bit of everything?

While on the subject of Honda corrosion Jaws in his thread 'A bit of a rant' makes a very valid point. However he now seems to be slightly pissed about the apparent lack of support. As stated 300 signatures would be better than 30. If it helps put me down for 25 signatures. Seriously, stick with it John you probably have more support than you realise. :beer:

You're right their Dave he probably does. I think that allot of members just use the site when they need information so they do not log on often enough to see what is going on - on a day to day basis but John would have their sole support if they new pity we could not send out a postal thingy (i know it would cost a phooking fortune ) but we would have more response or even a text message if they wanted to subscribe to it for an update say once a month..



I will get my coat...............
