A dumb Question on Brakes

[k_enn]

Thanks everyone for you input.  Pulled the pads, and cleaned everything up real good.  What an improvement.

Also, found a good way to clean the holes in the rotor.   I used a .38 caliber brush for cleaning an handgun bore, and ran it through the holes.  That got a lot of crud out.

Invariably guns and beer have a way of participating in the repair of almost anything on the R65.

I like that, Victor. [smiley=thumbup.gif]

There have been times I've celebrated a successful repair with a frosty bottle. Other times, I'm ready to shoot the farkin' bastid [smiley=rifle.gif]

Personally, I prefer .45 ACP.  But that brush was too big for the disc holes.     [smiley=laugh.gif]

Update:  The cleaning and bleeding made it much better, but it still was not as good as it used to be.  So I replaced the pads, and now it really grabs well.
