Hi all, still trying to sort out thr front brake on my 550K3, the wheel caliper piston is stuck all the way in, how do I get it out? I think it is partially seized. Also the front disc plate was rubbing on the fork bottom, I slacken the front wheel clamps and tap the spindle slighty which released it but how much tolerance should you have between the disc plate and fork bottom leg?
I think your right about the spindle being fitted the wrong way round. I have just visited David Silver's museum in Leiston, Suffolk and looked at his CB550 and noticed it was the other way round. I bought the bike earlier this year and have realised quite a few things butchered on the bike. Cheers for all the help.By the way David has got a nice lot of bikes up there in the museum, even one that used to sit in my garage until a Top Gear presenter bought it then sold it to David. Lol
