Hi, Im a long term 'member' on the Grand Punto forum and have just been working on a friends 2007 Ducato diesel.
Basically the rear pads got that low the pads fell out and the piston itself was forced out acting as a breaking pad!..Needless to say but I replaced both calipers/discs and pads .
So here's the question.. the sliders...removed them and cleaned the holes out ..cleaned and re-greased everything with red rubber grease but I could not get the slider to go in. The slider without the boot went in as expected.
I though the boot had expanded over the years and bought a replacement set ,£45...
BUT same issue.
Its all back together now,using the new and old sliders without the boots..
Anyone got any idea's as to whats going on?..
This was completed New years eve and getting hold of parts was a tad difficult..
