VIDEO: How to Free Up Front Brake Disc Bobbins

(if anyone can insert the actual video below, instead of me using a link, please do!)

I have read many stories of warped discs, and seized brake disc bobbins.

Brake warping can be caused from fitting cheap aftermarket replacement discs (crap metal), to not having the little round "bobbins" rotating in the disc, to allow the disc to "float and move".

Most of the time, they are seized with brake dust and winter salt, and also general lack of maintenance - many people ride bikes with "floating" discs, but never realise they need cleaned and maintained!

Below, is a video showing an easy way to free up those bobbins, using just a large bolt and a large nut.

Do NOT apply WD40, or any similar lubricant afterwards - ONLY use brake and disc cleaner!
