Possible bent calliper carriers?

[b33fy172]

is it possible?

My 172 failed its MOT on the Front brakes binding, now I've had my callipers taken apart cleaned up and put back together by God-Speed. Filed my pads down slightly as they were quite tight and ive put it all back together and it's still a struggle to spin the discs by hand.

Any ideas? Also the sliders on the carriers are all free and moving.

Have the checked if the pistons are siezed or tight? And did the disc turn ok when the caliper and pads were off the car?

std discs? or recently changed?

If they've already been rebuilt by Godspeed, I'd go out and drive for a while. Use the brakes a bit, brake hard a few times, then let them cool and see if they're better. Not uncommon for brakes to bind a little bit once they've just been pit back together. Mine did.

As said the calipers were taken apart by Godspeed and he said they were ok and not that siezed. discs were fitted about 6-7 weeks ago.
I think I'll take it for a spin tomorrow and see what happens.

just a thought, is the brake fluid over filled? if it is it wont allow pistons to go back fully coz theres to much fluid.
