Sticking rear brake

[Ant28]

Hi, my rear brake passenger side was binding, I changed both rear pads and discs but the same one is still binding ( disc is red hot after driving a short distance). 

When changing the discs the piston in the caliper wound back easily so shouldn't be seized on ???

Any ideas?

Thanks 

Anthony.

Hi, It might be the sliding pins on the caliper holder. Water gets in there and is causing a lot of corrosion.

As above. Sliders are always sticking.

Those pins are ***** , they rust and break when removing them. I had to fit new pins and new support brackets to sort out brake problem

Seems to be a common fault unfortunately.

Always happens on the Prius as well. Get an angle grinder to reduce the diameter a bit, grease well, and fit new concertina rubber boots. Check every year.

Or buy new pins about £5 each !

Above also applies to the new ones!! Makes things so much easier in the future.

Not if you use copperease .Good luck trying  to angle grind pins without damaging or breaking them !
