1992 Honda Accord brakes drag if caliper bolts (over) ?? tightned
I have a 1992 Honda Accord EX.
I changed the front brakes pads and the brakes seem to be dragging a bit more then I would like now. (The rotors are hot after a 1 mile drive without using the brakes.) If I tighten the caliper pin bolts to a comfortable torque, the caliper does not slide very smoothly on the pins even though I cleaned and lubed the pins. I have the model with the short bolts that screw into the pin. If I leave the bolt pins a little on the loose side, the calipers do slide OK. It seems that if I tighten the caliper pin bolts, the pins may cock a bit and change angle so that the caliper cannot slide easily, but if you leave them a little looser they align correctly. The spec calls for 36 ft lbs. Anybody have any suggestions. I'm thinking of leaving them a little loose and using Loctite on the threads. thanks Mark |
