My front brake has a slight pulse at low speeds. The surface has no high spots (measured with a vernier while rotating the front wheel). As I've read that the disc is semi-floating, I thought I might be able to remedy the problem by cleaning the disc bobbins/rivets to allow the disc to float. At the moment everything is solid and I'm assuming the disc has a wobble.
I've seen videos on youtube of people cleaning the bobbins by putting a nut and bolt through the hole and using a socket to rotate them while giving a good application of brake cleaner. But mine don't have a hole in the middle?!
Has anyone done any cleaning of the rivets? Is there another way to rotate them or is it a spray and toothbrush job?
Wot you reckon?
