Hi all

I've had a sticking nearside rear caliper for a couple of weeks, and got a nice package of bits from Advanced Factors to replace both sides this weekend.

This is the first time I've attempted a job like this, and after a bit of a slow start managed to get the old nearside caliper off and went to fit the new one, only to find an enormous size difference between new and old:

That looks suspiciously like a front one...!!

Try a local motor factor, they are generally a generic calliper so will probably be on the shelf. don’t be scared off a refurb unit. They are normally as good as new. I’ve had a few from factors and they look like new. There is nothing that can't be fixed with a hammer😜😜

Pete - Looks like you may be right! It's definately stamped with AF's rear brake code, so suspect there's been a screw up somewhere along the line. Might take the opportunity to do the front ones as well then....

NMJ - Thanks for the suggestion, I'll see what AF say tomorrow. David

They'll be wanting them sorted as the front ones will be much more money than the rears you paid for...

All sorted, mix up on the website. Big thanks to Paul at AF for getting the right ones out overnight.

No wonder the old ones were sticking though, virtually zero return travel on the piston and coated in rust on the inside.
