Hi guys,

Park brake on my 2001 X-Type 2.5 manual is now working properly...It seems to be the R/H rear caliper that is causing the problem...I am thinking about trying to dismantle this caliper to see if I can somehow free it up...Does anybody here knows if its a nightmare to do or is it pretty straight forward?


Cheers guys and a Happy New Year!

sphnyx, I was the one that wrote the "E-brake lever sticking" post. In short, the job is pretty straight forward. The "hard" part of the job is getting your hands on a 14mm penta-socket (5 pointed socket, a 6 or 12 point will not work, trust me!!!!!). Once you get that, follow my instructions and it walks you through everything. if you have any questions, let me know.

 

Thanks guys for the big help, I have carried out the caliper clean out and it's now working like a new one...Cheers!

 

penta socket are hard to find ...thermo you maybe the only one who has onel lol

 

I got my 5 point socket from the Snap-on guy for $30 Dennis...

 

Dennis, look on e-bay. That is where I got mine. I paid like $20 USD for it, but the one caliper repair more than covered the cost of that socket. There were a few different people selling them. Just need to know where to look.
