    Hi

    My rear disk binds slightly yet it needs to move outwards and already has no spacers to remove. Would facing the frame help?

    Sounds like it’s the only way. Seems odd though.

    Is the disc central in the slot in the caliper? If so its a sticky piston

    could be right TJ. I have now tried to put some new pads in and they will not fit. Cannot move the piston back on one side.

    Clean and rebleed needed?
    How do I go about resolving this?

    Usual stuff – Hold the piston that is moving with something and pump the lever till the sticky piston moves, once it has moved clean and lube – the correct fluid for your system will do as lube but red rubber grease is best. work the sticky piston in and out a few times.

    sounds like the pistons need mobilzing due to the bike not being used for a while and the seals not beibng lubbed ( according to the magura tech info )
