Yeobh 4th Gear January 13, 2004 Share January 13, 2004 For safety, the best option it to replace the the caliper, piston and seals. Since the car is already 30 years old.Your chance of getting new or re-cond repalcements is very slim. The best option is to rebuilt the caliper (need honing and polishing process) and get new piston and seals. Once you have settle this problem, remember to flush your brake system as the possible cause for your brake failure is comtaminated brake fluid with high concentrated % of water. Happy searching and good luck Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super7 Turbocharged January 13, 2004 Author Share January 13, 2004 Well, check the price first as sometimes, servicing cost as much as changing a new caliper...somemore your car so old liao.... hmmm..... yahor, i will get a quote for it... thanks Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super7 Turbocharged January 13, 2004 Author Share January 13, 2004 need to see the damage to the caliper first, sometime just have to replace the rubber sealant (Caliper Piston repair kit), provided they still have for your model I presume for the Celica, right i think whichever workshop i eventually use, i will watch how they do it and see the damage with my own eyes. ....... thanks Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super7 Turbocharged January 13, 2004 Author Share January 13, 2004 you might wan to try this , remove the brake pads push the caliper piston out a little by applying (pumping) the brake pedal and observe which side of the piston is jammed or sticky........ than apply some brake fluid over the piston and push it back with a spanner or screw driver do this a few times maybe will help, especially for old car if not try to get hold of set of caliper repair kit and get it service. thanks for the info, i find it very useful for a novice like me , i am sure some 'lau chiaos' here also feel the same, thanks Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
