Ohh I see. Honda never mentioned refurbished and they "forgot" to mention caliper rebuid kits lol
I mentioned on this post earlier that this happen to my caliper.
Once removed and cleaned up with more grease, it worked fine.
Now not the case, It is happening again after about 3 weeks or so !!!
This is just another problem to add to my many others problems that the Accord has developed............
Not happy and getting very annoyed, yes Honda engines are sound but it is everything else I have an issue with at the moment
1 - Caliper Problem.
2 - Speakers Issues (now solved by myself as auto electricians could not sort it)
3 - Squeaky creaky clutch pedal
4 - Car Judders most times when setting off and makes a 'hooting' noise
5 - Airbag light comes on for a couple of days then decides it is no longer a problem for a while
6 - Squeaky brakes since having new pads fitted (some days scrapping noises) and I am being told there is nothing wrong with them.
Never had any issues with my 7th Gen.

Back at the beginning of this thread richsprint mentioned Biggred.co.uk
They are based in worcester and are very knowledgeable.
I bought a pair of reconditioned 7th gen tourer rear calipers, not including hangers for £139. With the option of sending my orginal calipers back to them for a £40 refund. That makes it £99 for the pair.
The recon includes new parts: pistons, inner and outer seals, Bleed nipples, protective caps and the bellows for the sliders.
But to start with they shot blast the caliper body and re - electro plate them.

You also need to remove the stainless shims on the carrier & wirebrush the casting & wipe clean the shims as these can build up rust & dirt between the two & cause the pads to stick happened on both my 7th & 8th gen accord so i clean them every pad change.
