    I think the handbrake may be stuck on my rear passenger side hub on my 04 Honda CRV.I noticed the disc was excessively hot after driving home from work yesterday.

    I removed the calliper and greased the pistons and brake pad guides but there's still a slight grateing noise from the passenger side.I replaced the pads a few months ago and they're in fairly good condition.

    Is this something I could fix myself or do I need a garage and how much should it cost.

    What type of grease did you use? Imo silicone grease is best for brake parts. Always had grief with copper grease. No big job to change the caliper if needs arise. Are the slider pins free?

    Yes,used silicone grease.
    The sliders are free.
    I'm wondering is the handbrake stuck.
    Would a new calliper sort it?
