Last night I was out and about and it felt like I had a brake binding. Upon further inspection the offside front caliper was way too warm and the smell of Ferodo overwhelming. Tonight I took the caliper off thinking it would be goosed, but upon inspection it looks ok. The outer seal was out a couple of cm and with a bit of gentle persuasion I refitted it. Using a G clamp I moved the piston out and in a few times, cleaned off some rust from the hanger and put it all back together. I'll be going out tomorrow so I will be able to tell if it was a sucess then
