List,

I'm still trying to determine if I have a problem with my brake calipers.
Here are the facts... On both front calipers the inner piston is approx 1/8"
extended out from the body of the caliper, the outer is fine and near flush
with the body. On the left side there is little to no resistance and on the
right the rotor drags with resistance but will move. Both calipers look the
same as far as piston placement goes. How much drag is acceptable or
expected? Should the pistons return fully? Before attempting to bleed the
system ALL pistons were flush to the bores. Thanks.
