Troubleshooting
Brake lever still feels spongy after rebuild.
Ensure the brake system was thoroughly bled to remove all air. Check for any leaks around the caliper seals or banjo bolts.
Caliper piston is sticking or not retracting fully.
Verify that the new seals and boots were installed correctly and lubricated. Ensure the piston bore is perfectly clean and free of debris. The piston itself may be damaged or corroded and might require replacement.
New seals are difficult to install.
Lubricate the seals and the caliper bore with a silicone-based brake lubricant. Do not force seals into place; ensure they are seated correctly.
Brake fluid leak from caliper.
Double-check the installation of the caliper seals and the banjo bolt washers. Ensure all fittings are tightened to the correct torque specifications.
