[QUOTE="VintgeRiderVintageGuy, post: 468728, member: 17122"] I took the caliper off and apart and learned a lot. I cleaned it all up, plenty of brake cleaner and cleaned up what I could on the wire wheel. The pin is now nice and shiny. It appears to float freely now (I can grab the caliber and move it slightly left and right. That's good, I hope). The pads were worn evenly and now that I have everything back together, the pads don't drag anymore. I wasn't able to get the pucks to move at all, even after pulling the bleed valve. I'm not sure what that means. I have no compressed air to remove them as the crappy Yamaha manual (need another Clymer manual) instructs. The bike would brake OK before, but it wouldn't release all the way. I hope that by cleaning everything up and ensuring that the pads are ok, I'll be ok after bleeding them. But that's another post... Thanks [/QUOTE]
