HI all.
Iv noticed I'm getting uneven wear on the pads on my rear drivers side calliper (which is where I think the handbrake Mech is) has anyone had this? Car is a 53 blob.
I was going to strip it back clean it and change the seals. Can any one advise if this is the right place to start or should I just be changing the calliper? Hoping it's only a piston that needs some TLC.
Does the handbrake mech interfere with the calliper so could be the cause?

Thanks for the quick reply guys.
I didn't realise you could got spare pistons, will look into them. Iv seen a new seal and grease set 38mm which I think is right is about £28
Sorry didn't explain very well, what I meant by uneven where was that the two pads were wearing at different rates inside the rear drivers side calliper.

That's a tad expensive for seals etc. Just bite the bullet and get these. Job done!

P.S soak the calliper bolts a couple of hours before you start, they can be a bit off a pain.
