[928uk] The Brake Fiasco Goes On

[Sam Rawcliffe]

Hi There,

I have been trying to diagnose my squidgy brakes for a few weeks now.  
I realise it could yet be the MC leaking inside, but I want to be sure  
it isn't first! I have had chance this weekend to look over all four  
corners, and I was hoping to put past you all what I found.

Firstly, generally old looking hoses. I think I know the answer to  
this, but should I replace them? The join between the hose and RR  
caliper seemed moist also.

The plates in the front calipers didn't seem to be squeezing the pads  
too much, they looked like they had been repaired before actually on  
some of them...

The contact patch of the rear disc seemed smaller than the front, is  
it ok?

Finally, on the RR corner, the pads sound like they're squeaking when  
the brakes are applied. Could they be jammed in the calipers, and then  
be giving me a squishy pedal?

Cheers,
Sam Rawcliffe
