front wheel locking
Bryanj:
Should be a screw in retainer and seal on one side only, Try Dave silver

Thought it had gone but looking again.
I have trouble getting the wheel off as the pads are tight against the disk.
stripped the calliper to find that the piston is v pitted and will not go back in with out a lot of effot.
plus one of the last owners must wear spurs as the bleed nipple has had the thread stripped so he/she rammed a 12mm bolt in.
now need a new piston + seal and a new outer half of the calliper.

Billy, send Bryanj a message he did have some bleed nipple repair kits for sale 8), easy to do and work a treat ;), let us no how you get on getting a piston & seal and were from & how much please my F1 needs front & back replacing :'(, cheers Mick.
Waggles:
Can't remember the price Mick but I used stainless steel pistons and sealing rings for my F1 brakes (front and rear) from wemoto on the basis they shouldn't pit etc, they were fine but I had to get the pukka grit seals as the general purpose ones supplied with the pistons didn't really fit properly ( got them from DSS )

Hi Billy 192
Here's the link to the same problem which I had.

I bought a phenolic piston from the States which together with my caliper bracket mod cured the problem.
