Hey all,
Noticed over the week end one of the rear calipers on the Galant is dragging pretty bad (had to push it out of the shed, flat concrete, and struggled to make it budge on my own)
Found it to be the passenger side caliper caliper. And if I shove the hand brake lever thing (where the cable attaches to the caliper) to where it should be at rest, it seems to let go of the disc.
So question is... Is this a sign of parts in the caliper are in need of reconditioning, or is there some bizarre adjustment for the return spring I'm not aware of?
Cheers all.
Nick.
Edit: Oh... rear end is a GJ scorp item by the way

Cheers scorp16.
Funnily enough, was just disconnecting lines and cables to them having a look at what it could be, put them back together and their not doing it as bad
Thinking maybe a tight cable could also be a culprit?
Reco the calipers is on the to do list though![thump :thumpsup:](./images/smilies/thumbsup.gif)
PS: Don't see you on here much these days?
