The right front caliper on my TC has been dragging. On the way to work yesterday, the car was slow to accelerate, then drove normally, but I could smell some burnt material.
Checking the temp of the discs with a temp gun showed 40 C at Left disc, 110 C at Right disc.
I removed/reinserted the pads yesterday and the car seems to drive better. I re-examined the caliper today and found some holes in the boots where the pins contacted the rubber.
Inspecting the pistons showed some rust and the outer piston is proving difficult to return into the caliper.
So a rebuild is in order.
What parts are needed for the rebuild? The pads are still ok, so just a seal kit and pistons?
