Didn't know where to post this. It's not really a beginner question but then maybe it is.....
I have a left brake that drags. I have replaced the master cylinder, the pistons in the brake body, the o-rings on the pistons, and the brake pads. I have removed and polished the pins (checked and they are not bent) that slide in the sleeves for the caliper body. I polished out the sleeves and lubricated both with both wet and dry lubricants (two different tries) and verified the assembly moves smoothly. All the components appear to be parallel and tightly installed.
I have to drag a right brake for a couple hundred feet down the runway to take off and always have to tap the right brake to taxi.... I am totally stumped.
Any ideas?
Thanks!
