Brakes and calipers on the AP-7, Barcelona
Barcelona closes the covered stretch and concentrates its highest risk: the AP-7 hands over to the urban ring roads (C-31/C-32/B-10/B-20), while the Port, Zona Franca and Mercabarna feed constant heavy traffic. Fixed cameras, tunnels and controlled accesses mean a breakdown here demands knowing every branch — we work this network every day.

Brakes and calipers
A seized trailer caliper is the single most common fault that strands a truck in a service area. We free the caliper, replace discs and pads, repair air lines and fittings and change Knorr-Bremse and Wabco relay and modulator valves. Before we release you we check pressures on both circuits.
What to do while we are on the way
- Look for smoke or a burning smell at any wheel
- Check air tank pressure on the dashboard gauge
- Tell us if the trailer locked up on the emergency brake
What never to do
- Do not force it along with a wheel locked
- Do not cool a red-hot disc with water
- Do not fiddle with trailer valves you do not know
