ThreeSheds Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 Since I bought the Disco a couple of weeks ago the front brakes have been dragging a bit (causing heavy steering) and occasionally sticking on fairly badly. Since I have only been doing local journeys and they don't get any more than warm, I haven't been too bothered (bigger fish to fry). However last night I needed to do a 50 mile round trip and didn't have much time to spare, so I removed the wheels and mullered the calipers with a copper-faced mallet, liberating copious amounts of rust. Result? No more sticking brakes and vastly improved steering :lol: :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
