I think the nearside front brake caliper piston is stuck...

[kineticz]

Hey,
After some replacement parts being fitted, I have been told the front nearside brake piston is stuck in abit, so that the brake slighty rubs on the disc when driving. This can also be felt when actually applying the brake, as the steering wheel wobbles as one side is braking more than the other.

How can I 'reset' the brake piston so that it doesn't rub?

Hope this makes sense
Much appreciated

It needs to be stripped down and new seals maybe.

I think you can buy service kits for these?

 

[LEE69]

I'd of thought so, also the are the sliders free?

I've been recommended to get some sort of tool that you can use to adjust the brake piston? There is apparently some sort of difficultly getting it back together or something like that

Does the service kit include the tool and seals

It won't include a caliper tool but it will include new seals [usually]

first port of call, take your pads out, clean what you can on the caliper and piston and then go from there.

Ok sounds good
