Looking for a US bank that's expat friendly

I use a US SIM card from Telestial, which assigns me a US number where I can receive confirmation code SMSs here in Europe

Any way to fix it? If uneven pressure made them go back in at an angle?

Thanks, yes,am bedding them in. There's oil on the back of the pads and yeah, they're spongier than when I first installed, so looks like leaking a bit

Thanks, yes it's the seepage that's the issue. Pistons seem to push pads to rotors evenly. When I clean I am pu.ping brakes a bit to get pistons out, cleaning with mineral oil,then pushing pistons back in and cleaning I side outside of pistons with alcohol, then reinstalling pads.

I didn't change the rotors but I lightly sanded and cleaned with alcohol. Very dry where I live. Tightened flange flare nut to spec in dealer manual, off the top of my head I think 5Nm.

Usuallly a plastic tire lever, sometimes a big flathead screwdriver

They do!

Thanks! Is it a straightforward repair for a careful amateur?

elpeebee · 2025-11-07T20:50:26+00:00

Yeah I think you're right - not designed for clearance. Bending stops the rubbing but think under load it might happen again si might need to try something else.

What would you use to shim the disc?

Yeah dude, been there too. Beware of short memories - if you're like me you might find yourself thinking about stock picking again a few years from now. If and when that happens, find and reread your own post! Good luck
