2 subjects seized caliper update. & oilleak
« on: 21 October 2011, 18:44:23 »
posted a few days ago re a siezed caliper. it turns out my brakes are ok & it tuned out that tie rods are shot. ordered both sides & will do the job when they arrive. when up on lift i notced an oil leak. seems it the area where the aux belt tensioner is. does a oilseal live behind that pulley ? & is it easy to change if its the cause.
