Hello folks,
Need some help with binding front brakes.
Installed new pads yesterday.
All went smoothly when installing them.
But the brakes are now binding a bit.
I did spray some brake cleaner in there to clean the grime off pistons before pushing them back in.
But I didn't use any copper grease because I was nervous of using grease near the brakes, and thought I could more easily add later if required than remove.
Any advice? What should I be looking for? Is it just a matter of taking pads out again and cleaning thoroughly?
Any pointers appreciated.
Thanks, Andy
