brake caliper sticking
Hey everyone, just finished the ROH conversion and am having an issue with a caliper sticking. I have 4 new calipers and rotors. The caliper that is sticking is the same corner that was sticking before. Any ideas?
Do you mean the slide pins are sticking, maybe? If so, clean out the holes with a drill bit (using only your hand to power it), re-lubricate, and re-install.
These "new" calipers - are they "loaded" or "bare" - loaded come with the bracket and bare is just the caliper.
A loaded caliper will have new slide pins and the bracket.
So just another idea to think about.
EDIT: I see someone else posted about the pins as I was typing

The caliper seems to be sliding on the pins. They were loaded calipers. I don't think the piston is decompressing after the pedal is released. The brake system is ABS, and I've looked at a parts diagram from honda trying to find a proportion valve, thinking that could be the issue also, but all it list in the parts catalog is a 4 way block. When bleeding the brake system, I noticed the caliper in question, was hard to bleed and not as much fluid was flowing, compared to the other side. I used a vacuum bleeder with a clear hose to bleed the system so that's why I say it didn't seem like it looked as the same amount.
