get in there with a spanner and a hammer. give everything a quick loosen, then a few mild bashes, then tighten it all up again.


give it a spank.


if that doesnt do it then take it all off. Go find a disc skimmer (back street machine shops) who will remove a few microns to give you a fresh face. while your waiting, sand your disc's flat with a length of 1200grit wet and dry.

you then have two new faces to try again ;)

I know, could be worse. Cheaper than a new set of discs or calipers. On top of a dead gearbox tho, not so good :(
