    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

umm... I did remove the whole piston, but I did not grease it when I put it back in. I also damaged the dust cover a little bit (first time I ever did this with little instructions). I didn't think greasing the piston was a good idea... should I have, Is that why it might still be sticking? If that is the case I will do it all over again if I have too.

If you damaged the dust boot, even slightly, order a new one. A perfect place for crud and crap and water to get into the brake calipers. You're ok for now. Might as well get some new o-rings for the pistons also. When you reassemble, you should lightly coat the piston, piston bore, and o-ring with clean brake fluid. You only use grease as before mentioned on the caliper sliding bolts.
 
Thanks for the advice. The caliper wasen't budging so I wanted to see if was the dust cover that was making it stick. And a I broke it a bit. I'm going to do a complete rebuild in a month or so (I'm leaving to Peru until July)- I lubricated the axle bolts on the caliper just now. Thanks Relic.
