  • Seized caliper

    On my Free lander (I think)

    Is this much of a job? I'm thinking I can sort this myself, put a new caliper on and take it to a garage to get the brakes bled properly?

    Yep - very straight forward job on a Landy - literally a couple of bolts, undue the brake line, new caliper on and (if you're lucky) just re-bleed the brake line to that wheel. Have a look on Paddock Spares for cheap Landy parts - they don't mind sending to the IOM too...

    stick a set of mole grips on the pipe to that wheel b4 you remove the caliper, will save air getting in and will mean u only have to bleed that wheel
