front brake woes

[mo haggs]

id be changing the pistons next mate.

give the existing pistons a good clean first.
scotchbright or wet emery paper - give em a good going over.

if this cures or reduces the problem - then buy new pistons.

have you had the front wheel off? could it be a spacer issue or even a buckle in the wheel if youve hit a car?

its a new wheel i couldnt put the old one on it was shattered and i suppose it could be a spacer issue but im pretty certain i put them on the right way il get the old haines manual out just to check though
