So how did these brakes actually work without any indication of an issue ?
I only went to check because although the brakes worked fine the feel was a bit wooden .

Re: Floaters brakes!
That's the bizarre thing the Pistons moved freely and just popped out . There wasn't a lot of crystallisation in the rubber boots , or pitting on the actual Pistons .
I actually cleaned the mastercyl first and bleed fresh fluid through ...They just returned to the wooden * onda feel .
Anyhow they are stripped and being painted now .....another 5 minute job eh?
