Brake identification

[Guest Dave Skirrow]

Hi folks,  after a few years off I'm thinking of getting my 2B back on the road. I've found that one of the front brakes is locking up and also getting hot (to the point of smoking). Suspect the piston so I'm going to to refurb both front brake calipers and fit new pistons. Can't work out what they are off though so I'm not sure which repair kit to buy. Don't appear to be sierra. Can anyone help?

They look like standard Sierra to me.

Measure the size of the pad and match it from that.

Thanks! Will do.

Same as mine, came from 1.6 Sierra on a B plate.

Cheers. Measured the pads and they do look like standard sierra calipers so ordered the rebuild kits. Hopefully that will sort the brakes

When you bleed the brakes do the rears as well. Fresh fluid throughout never hurts.

What fluid is best for sierra parts with no servo? And how much do I need for the whole system? Might as well flush all the old fluid out while I'm at it.

DOT4 will be fine and a litre will be more than enough.
