[Mgs] Brake Caliper Problem-Thanks

[PaulHunt73]

It's a combination of the two things.  If you press the brake pedal at a 
standstill, let go, and immediately turn the wheel, there will be some 
residual friction from the pad that rapidly eases, usually leaving just a 
gentle rub.  When driving the bearings have .002 to .004 thou end float, 
which means the hub and hence the disc can 'wobble' a bit relative to the 
caliper, and this tends to knock the pads back a little bit more.

But did the original poster ever come back with anything, I've not seen it, 
but then I didn't get the original post either, just MGBob's response.  As I 
said before the first thing to do with a problem like this is manually 
retract the pistons and see how the wheel turns then.
