Brake calipers work by utilising hydraulic pressure from the brake fluid to force the brake pads against the brake rotors, creating friction and slowing down the vehicle.

The cost of brake calipers varies depending on the specific make, model, and manufacturer. For accurate pricing, please browse our products above or contact us directly.

To adjust brake calipers, follow the manufacturer’s instructions, which typically involve adjusting the caliper position or using an adjustment screw to ensure proper pad-to-rotor clearance.

The lifespan of brake calipers can vary depending on various factors such as driving conditions, maintenance, and quality. Generally, they can last for several years before requiring replacement.

The cost to replace brake calipers in the UK can vary depending on factors such as the vehicle make and model, the specific caliper needed, and labour costs. For accurate pricing, it is best to consult with a professional mechanic.

Brake calipers are commonly made of materials such as cast iron or aluminium alloys, which provide durability and heat dissipation properties required for braking applications.

Brake calipers may seize due to various factors, including corrosion, contaminated brake fluid, lack of lubrication, or worn caliper pistons or seals. Regular maintenance and inspection can help prevent caliper seizure.

To bleed brake calipers, open the bleed screws on the calipers and follow a specific bleeding procedure outlined in the vehicle’s service manual or consult a professional mechanic.

It is not recommended to drive with a broken brake caliper. A broken caliper can severely affect the braking performance of the vehicle, potentially leading to compromised safety and further damage to the braking system.

Driving with a bad brake caliper can result in uneven braking, reduced braking effectiveness, overheating of the brake components, increased wear on brake pads and rotors, and potentially dangerous driving conditions. It is crucial to address the issue promptly to ensure safe operation of the vehicle.
