[QUOTE="Stringer, post: 177419, member: 2086"] Ok thanks! I will order a new brake pad pin tonight. Looking back, I should of just bought the caliper rebuild kit instead of buying the OEM seals individually. I didn't realize the kit came with a new pin which wears a lot. Well I still needed the pistons too. And a replacement caliper. lol. I found a pro-x front master cylinder rebuild kit for 17.99 so I just got it to be on the safe side. I haven't yet looked, but I hope the install is pretty straight forward. I noticed also that my rotor is not perfectly straight. I was able to correct it some with some channel locks and a shop rag. Still not perfect for sure. It still catches a bit in certain areas. I find it real hard to get it perfectly straight, though I may employ other tactics. This lead me to price out a new one. Wow expensive! The MSR's go for 125, the Moose Racing MXR's go for 100, and the absolute cheapest ones from china go for 40. I was able to find a new Moose Racing MXR Blade rotor at dennis kirk on closeout for $27.50! I got the last one. I figure if Im able to straighten my existing rotor out better, I can sell it on Ebay for like 80 something bucks. Or I can use this badass mf new rotor I got on the ultra cheap!
