Hi all, Please help me with a disc problem I have. I was slowly running down hill with the window open and noticed a rubbing noise fron my front off side brake. I removed the wheel and span the disc, it would spin but was tight. I levered back the caliper to free the disc from the pads and the disc span freely. Then after applying the brakes again it was hard to spin and tight again.
How do the brakes back off the disc? Is there a spring for this?
the other side is ok, there are no signs of leaking, when I backed off the caliper the whole cradle ( disc housing ) moved freely , no seizing.
Thanks in advance for any replies.

They are floating calipers, they will always bind slightly after use.

Try taking the caliper off the slider and greasing up the sliders with some teflon grease.
