Levo Gen 2 Brake issue (2020 Turbo Levo)

[encinoman]

I've had my 2020 Turbo Levo Comp for about a year now. It's been mostly great. Recently the rear brake started rubbing. It appears that the pistons are not retracting like they should. I took out the pads and treated each piston with a bit of DOT fluid. I cleaned them with a swab and worked each of them individually to make sure they move freely. Then I bled the brake line. However, they're still rubbing. It looks like the pistons on one side are stronger and actuate more than the other side. Any insight? Anything I should try that I haven't already? Is it worth the time and effort to rebuild the caliper and replace the seals and pistons or should I just replace the caliper?

Thanks in advance.

Have you re-sat the calliper on its mounting bolts?

Yes, I tried that as well. The main issue is that there just isn't enough room between the pads for the rotor to move freely because on one side, the pistons are out further than on the other.

There's a video somewhere on gmbn tech where Henry does a service on sram calipers and shows how to adjust if the pistons don't come out equally

This must be the one you're referencing. A couple of nice ideas in here I haven't tried. Thanks for the tip.
