[Roadsters] intermittent brake pulling--revisited

[dave]

If it were me, I'd flush with fresh fluid, and compress each caliper
piston in by hand, and back out with the brake pedal.  Even if it fixes
nothing, it will get any moisture out before it sits for the winter.

I have the exact same problem, happened 3 times over the summer, and
went away for good after a long drive to the Glen.  If it happens again,
I'll replace the caliper pistons.

Kepp an eye on Ebay, occasionally a set of used calipers goes cheap.
Send these out for rebuild, and you can detail the casting.  Will make
an easy swap when you are ready.  Charlie Breault has new  piston sets
on Ebay from time to time.

This is on my SPL that runs great by the way...

I did as Craig suggested and was able to turn both wheels pretty easily
before and after applying the brake. The rotors are as nice as can be
expected and I can see what appears to be at least half of new thickness
on all four pads.

I should add that I do have a slow brake fluid leak in the right front
but it is minor. The reservoir was down only a little after well over a
year. I will rebuild this system next spring but was hoping to figure
out this pulling before our Midwest run this weekend coming up. 

The pulling to the left has only happened that one time the other day
but was very severs and did go away. The pulling to the right has been
going on for some time and is not real severe.

Any other ideas? 

Thanks

Tim
