Anyone got a quick idea on how long it'll take to sort? If I take the thing to bits, I've got to have it on the road tomorrow... I had a go at cleaning up the caliper when I did the brakes last time - has anyone got any recommendations as to how to set about it? Brake cleaner didn't seem to touch the stuff that was on it...
Slding caliper binding

I thought we did this topic to death a week or so ago.
is it the sliders binding or the piston?
If it's gunge on the slide, scrape it off with non ferrous metal - a bit of brass or even ally. If you mean gunge on the calliper it's probably baked on pad dust. Wheel cleaner should move it.
I managed to polish gunge off the slider pins with t-cut, then clean with brake cleaner.
I'll have a google. Not been keeping up with the groups much.
