On my '04 Daewoo Nubira I have been and had new discs and pads all round and now the brakes keep sticking on, I have been advised I now need new calipers all round, how can I tell if its them or that the ABS pump could be the problem as the garage will not say that this will fix my issue .

I can't believe that all the calipers can go at the same time, is there anything I can do to fix this?

  1. First drive a bit and measure the temperature of the wheels with a gauge or even by touch. Whichever are hotter, that side is jamming.

  2. Then based on that, remove the wheel, and remove the caliper.

Typical caliper consists of 2 pins that it moves on and one piston that pushes against the inner pad. The pins is what you are after. They should be easily movable in and out by hand.

If pins are ok, have a look at the piston and confirm that it's not rusted our and can move with some force if it's not a screw-in type.
