I have one shimano brake that keeps contaminating pads. Last time I looked for an obvious leak, didn't find one, cleaned it all up and put new pads on and was back in business. Now after a 3 month injury layoff, it's back to fractional braking power and honking like a goose.
Given the quarantine, and my lingering injury, I'll have some serious time on my hands soon once work slows, so planning to repair the entire fleet.
Anyway, for anyone that may have gone down this road before, I am wondering:
Anything obvious with the shimano calipers I should be on the lookout for when I tear this down?
Worth trying to rebuild/repair one of these, or better to just scrap and replace?
I don't want to waste my time messing with it, but at the same time I don't want to trash it if it's likely just an o-ring or something simple.
It's an XT M785 2 piston caliper. It's been in service a while, so doesn't really owe me anything at this point.
