Not again everyone says!
I have not long ago replaced the SMC, full replacement not re-build. Also re-built rear caliper with new pistons and seals and new rubber boots for caliper/sliders.
This fixed my issues with rear brake.
However, slowly the issue has returned — I have a sticking rear brake.
I took the pads out, and rear wheel spins nicely.
I then tried moving the caliper on the sliding pins.
It feels like metal to metal contact and notchy when trying to slide the caliper - which it was not before.
after the last lot of work I made sure things moved nicely as they had new rubber boots and used silicone grease on sliders.
Im now stumped as to whats happened.
I cant take rear apart at mo as my torque wrench and large sockets are off elsewhere - so before I get to take rear wheel off, trying to think ***** has happened now!?
Do I potentially have a crooked rear bracket?
Previous owner had issues with rear as noted on it’s previous MOT of binding rear.
