Ain't it the pits (note pun) when a request for help gets advice and follow up questions but doesn't come back to acknowledge or give an outcome?? Well it gets to me cos I hope to learn from their experience....

It's only been two days lol. Sticking caliper is caliper overhaul time, no ifs or buts only tight-arses. It's the better part of $60 for the seals, grease, cleaner and maybe a lick of paint. The job is pretty easy and the end result if your last set of piston seals were 20 years old is nothing short of amazing.

Cheers for the feedback gents, much appreciated. I meant to get on here earlier but life got in the way. My brakes were a cheap $195 fix including flush, pads, rotors and machining. Unfortunately, her issues don't end there. The noises I've been hearing are her bearings, and she needs new CV joints, propshaft, and a few other accoutrements. Not a happy chappy atm. Excessive wear and tear due to lowering.

possibly the pushrod on the master cylinder/booster has wound itself right out only way to fix is to seperate the master cylinder from the booster and wind it back in to the right spot and put all back together. big job take it to mechanic or brake specialist.
