    When you cleaned the callipers out did you pull the seal out and scrape out any build up in the seal groove....I use the right angled end of an old spoke & grind an edge on it.After a period of time you get a build up of corrosion etc behind the seal which causes the seal to be pushed out against the piston partially siezing it & causing it not to want to move freely bak into place giving a good clearance. If the seals look to be in good condition then dont waste yr money. Good luk

    thanks for the tip. I did do that the first time I overhauled them as there was some corrosion behind the seals like you describe.
