So having said that I am having the same problem to but the pads move freely and I am getting the bubbles too.. What else would cause the caliper to stick closed
Return hole is clear - even getting the little bubbles. New pads are tight...is that the issue?
Excellent! Thanks for the tips, everyone. I will sand that SOB down and see what happens.
Will do! Is it possible that the piston is too tight? Or, is it more likely that the pad just needs to be "adjusted"BTW: mcswny, you have a great avatar
Yes, New piston and seal too.
Static pad should be 6mm distance. New seal and piston: did you thoroughly clean the seal groove before install? That seal actually is the element that retracts the piston during brake cycles. Any chance you installed the piston backwards? It is probably the pads, but-Just to confirm a few things...
You're correct, I mistyped. I meant .6. That's for catching that!
Hi.In addition to all the previously mentioned checks,you must make sure the caliper holder/pivot is moving freely.It can be dissassembled,cleaned,then greased.
Sanded off the black paint/powder coat from the brake pad and then reinstalled with a little grease...SUCCESS!! THE FRONT BRAKE NOW WORKS. Thanks, everyone!
