;Check front tire pressure. It could be as simple as dirty brake pads or shoes. Otherwise you could look at the brake proportioning valve (responsible for sending equal amount of fluid pressure to both sides). I hope this helps!
Hi There.
could be a weak spot in the brake line and has popped when you pushed the pistons back on the brake calipers, (had a similar problem on my toyota previa) only thing you can do is replace brake line and bleed brakes. make sure that there is no build up of road dirt on top of the tank, and check for stone damage incase something got thrown up from the road..
Good Luck.
whole assembly has to be changed, the bearing is one non-dissasemblable unit, it has to be pressed out and in. best done by someone who has the right tools.
to check the brakes you can look through the wheel to see the pad thickness(1/8th min)then run you finger over the disc(rotor)to make sure you don have to much of a lip around the edge.(1/32 max.)as rotors only last around 40k and pads around 30k, i would change both together,difficulty 3/10 for diy mech.tools req pliers/mole grips(to grip brake pipe)/tyre iron(to force pistons apart,take off filler cap first)phillips screwdriver to take out screw in rotor,and a hammer
to release rotor from rust on the back of it.a range of metric spanners/sockets.to remove caliper from bracket and copper grease for the back of the new pads(to stop them squeeking).
put together the opposite of taking them apart,keep all bits in hubcap on top of wheel(you never have bits left over if you do this...)and prise apart pistons before you take caliper off the car,then apply molegrip to rubber pipe so they dont close up.
sounds like you got air in your brake line you need to get them bled also have you checked you master cyliner to make sure it is filled up sometimes that may be all your problem is does the peddle slowly bottom out when braking ..An indication of air in your lines if it bottoms out quick then you better get it in and get you brakes checked
Just remove the retaining bolts conected to the caliper and pull out. There should be two bolts here. Loosen conterclockwise as if you were facing the bolt.
