Sticky Brake?
Does anybody know how to service a sticky brake caliper?
After a long drive (say 30mins), I can smell and see smoke coming off my rear right brake.. I've had the caliper off twice now to inspect and everything seems to be ok. the second time I pulled it apart, I cleaned all the moving parts and greased everything before putting it all back together. The only thing I haven't pulled apart was the actual piston itself, looks to be beyond me at the moment, but could that be the prob?
The brake doesn't seem to be jammed on as I can usually still turn the wheel with a fair bit of force (much more than needed for any of the other wheels), but its obviously just enough to cause it to heat up...
