Technical Front calipers

[snes]

Some time ago, JR I think, published a guide to treating and preventing seized front calipers. I think it had something to do with carrier bolts, but I'm not totally sure.

I can neither find this guide by a search, and on my 1.3 MJ, I can't seem to even identify the bit that might seize up. So I have posted a couple of pix to see if any one can guide me further.

Hope this makes some sort of sense!

The caliper doesn't seize, the pads stick in the reaction frames. The caliper looks much the same so follow the guide that jrkitching posted.

But I couldn't find JR's guide.

Here you go.

The Mjet has ventilated discs, as opposed to solid ones on the 1.2, but I'd expect the problems & solutions to be similar.

Any further questions, just ask away .
