Title: rear caliper slider pins
Post by: dwlawson on June 15, 2023, 01:24:12 pm
Just replaced my rear discs and pads. One slider pin on each side has a rubber sleeve at the top which had swollen and caused the pin to seize. Consensus of opinion on the net is that the purpose of the rubber sleeve is to stop rattling but nobody seems certain. I've reassembled minus the sleeve and haven't noticed any rattling yet. Anyone else left the sleeves off and noticed any ill effects?
