Rear PBR sliding pins
Just recently rebuilt my PBR rear calipers.
I'm just curious.....how freely to the calipers need to slide on the pins/bracket? The passenger side is silky smooth, but the drivers side is more resistant, even with the cleaning and relubing of the pins...

Maybe one of the pins is bent and that would cause the drag.

Re: Rear PBR sliding pins
ManiacZ, What type of grease did you use on your pins? I recently rebuilt my rear PBR's and the kit only came with parts for the piston and no grease.
Thanks, Steve

CRC synthetic brake grease for me.
If the guide pins are corroded, the pins and boots should be replaced--though if the corrosion is light, you might use some Emery cloth to clean them up.
