the rear brake is just as crap as it ever was.
........Remove pistons on bike first using the bikes hydraulics. Pump brakes to push pistons nearly all the way out, usually one or two will come out quicker than the others, hold these ones back say with a piece of wood and pump brake to push the others out.When one or two have come out you can pull the others out. Dry first and try with your fingers. Don't use anything that can damage or mark the pistons, use piston pliers.........

So if someone wants to post the relevant points I'd be appreciative.

His presentation leaves a bit to be desired, but I actually thinks he knows his stuff. Greasing brake pads and pins is something I've always done based on received wisdom that it prevent seizure and squeeling.... but is it REALY necessary on modern(ish) braking systems? Maybe I'll run mine dry for a while and see if it makes any difference.
