Rear caliper jamming ??
Noticed today my rear disc was discoloured as in got overheated at some point.
The caliper isn't stuck on and you can see the pistons retract when you let the footbrake off but one thing i have noticed that of the the 2 sliding pins the one facing to the front doesn't hardly move
It's like the rear pin moves about and that is doing all the movement
Any clues

Just been looking at the online manual and it could be the anti rattle plate stopping the caliper from sliding
Does anyone have pics of how the anti rattle spring fits ?

Looks like had had the same problem a while back
It has worked fine for 2 years and only reared it's head the last week or so,the only thing i have done is change the fluid

Had a look today and nothing was seized but i re greased the pins and the caliper slid in and out nicely but when i pumped the pistons out again,it appeared to jam again
Went round the block and it was hot again where the front discs were cold
The wheel is turning fine
With the pistons pushed into the body i can slide the caliper in and out on the pins but as soon as i pump it,it jams again
Normally on these calipers you can rattle them a bit but that has gone now
