Bosch pin slide disc brakes

[angelman]

Here is an interesting paragraph!

The piston seal, as shown in Figure 6, is a rectangular cross section seal made of a rubber compound
and is compatible with DOT 3 or DOT 4 brake fluid. The piston seal is placed in a groove that is
machined into the caliper housing piston bore. The piston seal's function is to provide a hydraulic
seal between the piston and the caliper housing piston bore. The piston seal also aids in retracting the
piston (i.e., pulls the piston back into the housing bore) upon brake release. This retraction allows
clearance for the pads to be pushed back from the rotor.

I wonder if defective seals could be causing our brake problem?

Could our problems be as big (or little) as the shuttle's?
