    Hi guys, been a while since I posted but I have been trolling.

    Could do with some pointers if you could spare a moment.
    Found my front wheel is not rotating as freely as it should. Giving the calipers a knock frees it off a little but before I strip the brakes down, is there anything I should check first e.g. speed drive, abs sensor etc?

    hit the brakes with a can of cleaner-hitting the buttons real good-they freeze up.

    What SOW is talking about. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1qoPqN2GBdw

    You may also have crud on your caliper pistons. Your brake fluid return hole in the master cylinder may be plugged. Others with real experience should chime in with more info.

    Thanks guys. The buttons were fine. Still have the problem so it looks like a check of the return hole.
    Where is it and how do I check?

    Take top off master cylinder reservoir and at the bottom you will see a big hole and a little
    silver cap thing, it's under there.I used long nose pliers to pull it up.
    Poke it out with wire, simples.
