Sorry didn't see your last post until after I posted Jeff!

I don't think the pistons are, or were retracting to far. My initial thoughts were that they were not pulling off enough, but I am happy that all is working well hydraulically.

This business must all be down to the sloppy bush allowing the calliper to twist and so wearing the pads unevenly.
I am a little dissappointed at only getting about 4000 miles out of a bush. Maybe I should have used something better than LM grease when I assembled it?
I am thinking in terms of fitting a grease nipple on the calliper bracket, so I can give it a pump every now and then.

It could also be that everything had got a bit gummed up with it's own dust, as it seems to work perfectly now it's all clean, albeit with no greases anywhere at the moment.
