Caliper slide and pin care
Caliper pin bolts are part of the caliper slide system, which lets the caliper move freely as the pads wear. If a pin bolt is tight against the bracket or bent, the caliper can bind and cause uneven pad wear or drag. Clean the bolt and the bore it runs through, and check that the caliper moves smoothly after fitting.
Grease the slide pins as your brake service guidance advises, using a high-temperature brake grease rather than general purpose lubricant. Keep grease off the pad and rotor surfaces. Inspect the rubber boots around the pins for tears, since water and grit entering the pin bore lead to corrosion.
- Check the bolt for corrosion or stretch
- Keep grease away from friction surfaces
- Inspect the boots for tears
