one of my rear calipers is binding badly - it first happened a while ago, and although i managed to free it up then, the problem is back.
is the only solution to replace the caliper, or are repair/seal kits worth using? it needs to be done, i reckon it's costing me >10% on fuel consumption, not to mention all the crap on me wheel! i suppose the cost of a new caliper would be about £60?
i will be putting new discs & pads on at the same time. are the abs sensor rings readily available / cheap? since i put new discs on a couple of years ago, the abs light comes on when i go over 80mph. the sensor rings were a little grotty back then so i imaging they'll be ready for replacing. (i assume it's the sensor ring causing the problem, as what was the only thing that i disturbed when changing discs, iirc)
