Hi, I think my front Code R Caliper is leaking. Whenever I inspect my brake pads and front caliper they are always covered in brake fluid. I use my weed burner to get the fluid off and they don't squeak for a while but whenever I go to use by bike again they are squeaking like crazy. I tried taking apart and then reassembling my caliper but that didn't do anything. What can I do to fix this?
hi if this is a constant occurrence then the either the seals in the caliper have failed, or the where the hose enters the caliper is not tight enough and the fluid under pressure is able to get out. using a weed burner to get the fluid off will defiantly not help the situation, if anything it is properly causing more damage than it is fixing. Also attempting to pull the caliper apart has also probably caused more damage than its fixed. My advice, just buy a new brake, when calipers leak theres not much, if anything that can be done to fix it.
Buy a piston and seal kit and use silicone lubricant on the piston seals, as long as there is no damage to the caliper then it will solve the problem. Also replace the pads and clean the rotor thoroughly.
