i have a dodgy front left caliper.
it was binding on. i thought it was a dodgy piston so replaced that and the seal. and set about cleaning the rest of it all up.
when it came to the caliper slide bolt the little rubber sheath was damaged and this may have been the main cause of the issue.
question is how does the piston go back in to place after the lever is released. is it the vacum casued by the mounting bolt pushing it away from the disk. or something else.
reason is i can not get hold of the caliper mount pin rubber. or the correct pin for that matter. bike has been off road for 2 weeks now and i need to get it road worthy this week end
