Author	Subject: Brake Service Q?
iplay Seasoned Pro Location: Number Wang Registered: 18 May 2006 Posts: 3,268 Status: Offline	Post #1 I just serviced the brakes and they are hydro locking slightly (i think from too much grease). Is it a question of just using a tiny bit of grease on the slider and filling the rubber boots? or can someone detail the correct way to grease the brake slider pins and rubber boots.

I've never known there to be too much grease on a brake slider! It usually just splatters out if there is. ________________________________________ I'm Si btw Night Blue VW Golf GTD Bianca LBSC Rallye - Track/Road Slag Project Thread Sparkling Silver Mini Cooper D - Super Dooper - (The other half's wheels)

Not sure really but Hydo-locking from too much grease in the rubber boots causing the brakes to stick on due to suction from the rubber boot? The brakes are randomly locking up after the brake pedal has been applied.
