Hey Guy:
um i havent service my car brakes 4 long time now... when i tried to take the calipers off i realised the rotor is very tight and is on all four wheels... should i channge the rotor and the pads? is that much easier. also when im steping on brakes it doesnt brake fast and usually have to step hard. what should be also changed?
Thanks

Hi procrxsi88,

The symptoms described indicates either the brake caliper pistons are slider bolts are seized. This would cause poor braking response.

Rectifying either by servicing or replacement should solve the brake efficiency problem.

Sorry I was not specific.

Brake calipers, slider bolts and/or brake pads, if serviceable and replacement would be necessary if they are in very bad condition.
