ok now back to binding brakes, took caliper off attacked rust with a wire brush & wet-dry where pads sit.
put on copper grease so they should be fine now.
when using the Lazer wind back tool on brake piston it was solid to push back with reservoir top off so am i looking at bad piston or brake lines ?

Use some Plus Gas on the sticking caliper... then some Mintex Ceratec grease on the back of the pads, I've heard Copper grease can attack the seals.
Most likely a caliper will come with lines. :happy2:
