    see I was maby 10 minutes from home and I could here a squeel from the brakes so I would dab on the pedal and it would stop then a few ks it would do it again and that happened 5 or 6 times so had a look at home and found all was cooking.

    I pulled the other side caliper off today and I would say the piston is pushed out as far as the rubber boot will extend and I cant push it back in by hand...is that normal?
    Also opened front caliper on one side and that piston is also unmovable..Ill post up more pics tomorrow.
    Hi mate, not accusing anyone of any thing just trying to help find a cause for problem, I work on the Rd for buck and see brake light flashing now and then.
    From what you write pads and discs past usable spec and due to be replaced, no worries cheap.
    slotted rotors, pads, cal kits and fluid approx $300 diy these days, just did mine before chrissy to easy.
    Pistons have kicked a little sideways they have ext a long way out, this should be nothing to worry about once rebuilt with new pads etc.
    tap carefully to straighten up and it should come out, be careful not to drop it, compressed air and a block of wood to trap it inside cal assembly instead of it flying out breaking fingers ,gently, slowly does it.
