On the front wheel spindle there is a long but/tube, if you need to replace the bearings it has to be removed to get the spindle out. It is entirely possible that a previous owner has refitted the tube nut the wrong way, which moves the entire wheel assembly slightly to the left (from sitting on the bike in the normal riding position) allowing a very slight contact between the disc and fork leg.Sent from my POT-LX1 using Tapatalk
No 18.
Got any atf? Even ordinary 10w40 will do at a pinch. Majour diff with fork oil is it dont "froth"As to the rub mark if you mean on that black plastic bit(cant see anything on the alloy, but i am geriatric) it frequently gets the bracket bent or twisted.
You're doing very well Simon.
No it was right but it might be the piston in the caliper rather than the bracket. Undo the two bolts holding the caliper halves and see if the arm pivots free then.BIG HINTBEFORE attempting to undo the bleed nipple warm the alloy with one of the plumbers torches on dispoable canister or some such then use an 8mm deep socket with a tee bar so you get an even turning force. The bleeders snap off easily.Also if you do need to get piston out pump the piston out with master BEFORE disconecting pipe.
