Greetings all,
First post here, so mods please move if this should be in "Wrenching Parties" instead.
My (soon to be my son's) 1995 XJ's front brake calipers have the typical wear spots on the caliper brackets, which are causing the pads to get stuck and not "float" as designed.
I've read somewhere that it's possible to fill in the low spots using a welding rod. I'm not a welder so I'm in search of either a shop who would be willing to perform this type of repair or a member who could assist. I do have access to welding equipment and supplies.
I'm certainly open to another solution if one exists. I know I could replace the entire caliper bracket but that seems impractical if a simpler solution is possible.
Thanks!
