GrahamU 5 Posted February 16, 2006 Had a loud sqealing from the rear brakes going home last night, when I got home I found the drivers side wheel was very hot and smelly. I'm guessing the calipers are a bit seized but I cant afford to replace them yet cos I just bought new discs and pads etc to go on this weekend. I know I'll be fighting a losing battle but is there a tecnique to unseizing the calipers till I can afford or find replacements ? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Timo. 0 Posted February 16, 2006 Use a big screw driver, lie down at the back on the car and lever up where the hand brake cable lever is. T. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GrahamU 5 Posted February 18, 2006 OK, so I've seen a pair of Audi A4 TDI rear calipers for sale, can anyone tell me if they'll fit ?? Thanks Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Supercharged 2 Posted February 19, 2006 Should do - what year is it? - check they are the alloy ones... You'll also need the MK2-MK4 Conversion hoses from Goodridge Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin Bacon 5 Posted February 19, 2006 I suspect they will. The 55 year A4s use what appear to be MK4 calipers on a solid rotor.....and, Ford Focuses also use the same calipers and pads. They're all Lucas and should fit no problem. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
