cleaning front brake disc bobbins / rivets?

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?!

Do not beleive everything you see on the internet  :lol

As you have stated your disc is semi-floating and the bobbins does not have a gap and does not need cleaning by design.

The problem is somewhere else like the disc or the lines...

That was supposed to be a joke...but its not funny related to brakes, someone may take it seriously. Just to be clear do not do that  Smile
