Civic rear brakes
2002 Civic 1.6 SE sport, 126K mileage
Failed its MOT on rear brake discs worn and imbalance on parking brake. Fitted new discs and pads Cleaned and checked for free movement of piston and caliper Adjusted hand brake and checked operation, all seems OK. Still failed on rear brake imbalance, pedal is not soft so don't suspect air in hydraulics. Anyone any suggestions where to look next? Bob |

The caliper bolt pistons (or whatever they are called) were both free with no sticking. However my son was desperate to get car done and paid the mot centre £70 to sort it, so he now has his mot. I'll try to find out more when I get to see the report. Thanks Bob |
