Am using braided steel line with no tape whatsoever. The outside pad slides out no problem, but the inside pad I have to pry out. The pistons are only about 1/8" sticking out on the defective side, the other side the pistons are flush with the caliper.
What causes the pistons to retract anyway? When you release the pedal, is a suction created to draw the pistons away from the pads?
