Mark W Posted November 11, 2009 Report Share Posted November 11, 2009 If you take the pads out, give the back of them a good clean with some meths and a clean rag, then clean the inside of the brake caliper it should sort it out. Mine does it every now and again, and that always sorts it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark W Posted November 11, 2009 Report Share Posted November 11, 2009 The back of the pads will probably have a little ring of mank on them - that's where they're touching the piston, and that's what you need to properly clean Soak some tissue/a rag in some meths, then poke it around in the caliper with a small allen key or something. You don't need to push the pistons out or anything, just literally clean the face of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
