Sticking front brake
#11
All excellent stuff from Tanprotege.
However, it may be time for new brake hardware hold down kits if noise persists. Some pieces may not be sitting right. I remeber a while ago mine were squeeling and he re-adjusted the hardware, and suggested next brake service to get new hardware kits. Now i have new hardware kits after 60,000 km.

Caliper regreased in all the appropriate places and rotor thoroughly cleaned and the result is no squeak, no squeal and no sticking - all sorted. Thank you so much for your support and advice. Happy New Year!

And happy new year to you!
Don't forget to re-torque the wheels after abaut 100 miles with a torque wrench. Uneven torqued wheels will warp the disks and not re-torquing alloy wheels carries the risk of loosing the wheel. I've met a guy who lost a wheel on the interstate because of that.
