Came back from a ride Monday and my rear brake rotor was very hot to the touch. I put the bike on the center stand and turned the rear wheel and it was dragging pretty bad.
So today I removed and disassembled the rear calipers. What a pain breaking them apart. I had to bolt the caliper assembly flipped back on the bike to be able to remove the two bolts holding the calipers together. Can't believe how tight the bolts were.
There is some corrosion where the seals go. I'll take a dremel and brass wire brush to them. One side has a small protrusion on the outer edge of the piston cylinder. Is there any way I can clean this up? There is some corrosion on both pistons I must clean up too. Had to use the air compressor to get the pistons out.
I am a bit worried trying to align the caliper halves together and tightening them down without them shifting.
I am probably going to pull the Master cylinder and go through it. Wondering if that return fluid hole is plugged.
