I changed my front brakes pads last fall, just before wintering the van. I
made the mistake of not putting a block into the caliper, and the pistons
came part way out of the bore when the van sat overnight with the calipers
hanging. I pressed them back in, but now I have sticking front brakes. I can
feel it while driving at low speeds, and jacking up the wheel, it requires some
force (not a huge amount) to turn the wheel.
I have ordered caliper rebuild kits, but they won't arrive before my next
1000km trip. Is there anything I can do to improve things for this trip? I
suspect once on the highway, provided I don't apply the brakes, they will
back off after a while (or wear off...), but don't wan't to overheat things
either. Rotors were turned at time of new pads, and moly grease applied to
friction points of pads to carriers.
