    My R/H/F disc is getting hotter than the other.

    First thing I want to check are the float pins to be sure they are not seizing.

    From YouTube for a 1.6, I think an Allen key is used to remove them if not what do I need

    Anyone know the size of the key.

    Thanks

    Also worth considering a rebuild kit with new pistons from BIGGRED - google it.

    They do some nice work, done a couple of custom recons in black for me recently, they are quick and reasonable too.
