How are brake caliper issues diagnosed?
A mechanic will look for brake pads that are severely worn on one brake caliper, a caliper not providing sufficient clamping force to stop the vehicle, or fluid leaks from the wheel well. The caliper in question will be removed and further inspected.
How is a brake caliper replaced?
With the wheel and tire off, the caliper is disconnected from the brake line, unbolted and removed. The brake pads will be installed in the new caliper, and the rotor will be cleaned of any brake fluid, grease, fingerprints or other contaminants.Once the brake caliper is ready for installation, it's bolted into place, the brake line is reattached, and the entire braking system will be bled of air.
RepairPal recommendations for brake caliper issues
When the caliper is replaced, the brake pads (and rotors, if needed) must also be replaced. The pads (and rotors, if needed) on the opposite side must be replaced, as well, for even braking.
Can I replace the brake caliper myself?
Typically, this repair should be left to a professional. But a DIYer with plenty of knowledge about hydraulically driven systems can pull it off.
