Hallo,
Traced my front end squeal down to a seized caliper piston, and the bad being stuck on. Took the pads out and the one on the seized side was down to the base plate, and very slightly beyond! Bearing seems fine if a little low on grease. Now I`m stuck with a caliper that won`t come off due to the bolts being stuck solid, and a piston that won`t budge. I don`t have access to acetylene or I`d heat the buggers cherry red, so I`ve tried penetrating fluid for the moment and will have another go before the sun goes down. Any tips on the above, or what to expect once it comes off greatly appreciated.
Ta,
