[QUOTE="ionbeam, post: 151534, member: 277"] What Randy said. Then, push the pads away from the rotor and try to spin the front wheel. No spin -- you are looking at a wheel problem. Spin freely -- you are looking at a brake problem. Assuming it is brake related, and assuming the pistons really are clean, check the following: * The position and condition of the pad support, the wavy springie thingie on top of the pads * Check the pad pin for corrosion, roll the pin on a flat surface to test for being bent *Are the metal shims on the back of the pad missing? Some pads may require you to move the shims from the old pads to the new pads. *If all the above are good then you will need to disassemble the caliper and clean everything, lube what needs lubing and change the seals.
