How to diagnose sticky brake piston?
#9
Ok, had a proper look today. Inner piston was slightly corroded and was sticking. Pushed both out a bit and cleaned them up as suggested. Made an immediate difference, but I think I should carry on and do the job properly, or replace the caliper.

I wasn't sure about the pad retaining pins though. I don't know what they should look like, but they both appeared worn where the pads would sit. I assume that this isn't right and the pins should be a consistent diameter down the full length, and would therefore need replacing. Problem is I've not been able to find anywhere online that sells them to compare against. Can anyone tell me if this is normal, or if I should get new ones, and where I can get them?
