I hope you mean you greased the pistons. I got a tub of rubber grease to use on mine when I rebuilt them last.

Ok to grease the pads so long as you do it to the back and not the friction surface

You never know with Rich
If they were sticking on then greased pads won't help (unless you do grease the friction surface in which case I am going to change Rich's user name to Barry)

im going to take it apart again in a minute & have another look, although after the school run (2km) it seems to be free
Re: Today I have been ?????????????? to my classic
I would assume that a bit of heat is freeing it off. I suppose it is not impossible there is some water in the fluid inside the calliper that is freezing and sticking the piston. Have you tried bleeding that corner?
