Problem with my rear brake / handbrake

[Izso]

senndoh - how old is your car? Mine was 9 years old. Everything was stock since I swapped to rear calipers 5 years ago. Everything there is pretty much wear and tear so have to check mah.

i'm using bendix general CT (city driving type) it was awesome at rear...it really bites and i can do handbrake turn easily

i think it wasnt really self-adjusting because on the pad itself got one "pole"/stump to stop the piston from rotating/adjusting


the piston no.6 in diagram locked to the pad "pole"/stump

General CT is for normal use. Bites when cold but cannot withstand too high a heat range. Using them in my wife's Chery SUV for the rear too. Very little dust compared to OE pads.

As for the brakes what I know from my mechanic, as the pads wear it locks outwards to next level, but when changing pads you need special tools to turn the piston back in. Bro. Izso will know he just bought a set of those tools...

mr benard/maddriver garage also have one of those tool...


me...just use longnose plier and to extent the further fine tuning, i grind off the "stump" on the pad and adjust the caliper clearance to a very tight gap....

mine is 6 years..
yesterday while i was checking on service records, it seems like the previous owner had the brake pad changed on rear right..couldnt find any record for the rear left tho which i think probably caused why my handbrake force is not equal..
might want to change both brakepads..

Ah? People usually change brake pads as a pair. If they only changed one side then that service center really should be shot cuz they ripped off the old owner.

You slow la. Sylphy uses R32 plug and play calipers. And buy liao loo. Need you to tell me me

Only thing is rear need more parts. Specifically the China Sylphy, that one hard to source. I've pretty much done all my R&D la. You think people like me can keep the car stock meh?
