Rear Brake Binding - M/cyl Corrosion - Winter Tip

    Hindsight they say...
    My rear brake was binding on the HYPER evo (36k miles, 3 winters), problem was corrosion in the rear master cylinder around the steel circlip, this was preventing the piston returning home & thus the pads not retracting enough.
    The rubber boot is not split or damaged in any way, this could have easily been prevented by cleaning & greasing prior to winter each year.
    Lesson learned for me.
