gonegrizzly Posted January 23, 2016 Report Share Posted January 23, 2016 Hey guys new to the forum this place seems to be a great community SO that being said I have my first issue I'd like to post and ask for some feed back on! I have an 01 banshee and whenever I roll it by hand it feels like its fighting back and doesn't want to roll freely for the first couple of feet and makes a god awful screeching noise, so I pulled off the front wheels and tried spinning the hubs by hand and the front left struggles for the first quarter rotation then spins freely, doesn't feel like the bearings and because of the screeching I wanna say the caliper is getting hung up for the first little bit of rotation. Any remedies? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
camp0429 Posted January 23, 2016 Report Share Posted January 23, 2016 Pull the caliper off and make damn sure it's not the bearings. May have a bad caliper or just a bunch of shit caked in there 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gonegrizzly Posted January 23, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2016 I'll pull the caliper off to make sure once I get out of work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sleeper06 Posted January 23, 2016 Report Share Posted January 23, 2016 I usually drain fluid , remove caliper . Put banjo fitting back in and thoroly degrease. Pop piston out with compressed air clean everything with brake clean n compressed air . Look at seals replace if necessary, lube it up with dot 4 reinstall pistons , reinstall caliper n try again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoppedupandcutdown Posted January 26, 2016 Report Share Posted January 26, 2016 make sure the slider bolts actually slide, they tend to seize easily if you ride in the wet and mud a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
