[s-cars] Rear Brake caliper binding on

[Gabriel Caldwell]

IT could the cable or the caliper cam.  Turning back the cable adjuster
won't fix your problem.  The removing the end of the cable from the
caliper and check the cable movement and the cam movement to determine
the culprit.  I just replaced both rear calipers and both ebrake cables.
The parts are cheap.  Calipers were $90CDN (so like $5US) and the cables
were $25CDN.  There is a procedure of UrS4.com for fixing the caliper
cam but there is nothing you can do for the cables.

Noticed the right rear caliper is sticking on. Seems to happen when the
car 
is hot or after its been parked a day or two with handbrake on
(emergency 
brake)

Is their a caliper rebuild kit available?
or should i just back the handbrake adjuster back a few turns?
or is it less hassle to just get a new / reconditioned caliper?

Cheers
Trev.
