[QUOTE="virtualmystic, post: 362791, member: 5576"] if there is too much free play in your calipers then it might be that the floating mechanism (one caliper rides on pins) is sticky and needs to be taken out and cleaned. But since this is your braking system we are talking about, it would be a good idea to take it all out and refurbish the whole system instead of doing it piecemeal. You should: 1. bleed the whole system of it's fluid. 2. remove all calipers and inspect them as well as the discs (change if need be) 3. renew all brake pads. 4. renew all master and slave cylinder seals. 5. change brake hoses and also brake assist hoses (pneumatic) 6. restore everything, renew fluid and bleedby my estimate it should not cost more than RM1000 even if you have to change all those above mentioned items.
