I had a rear wheel brake lock up recently and discovered that the piston wouldn't go back into the cylinder unless I used mole grips ? I've now bought 2 new ones from Uncle Malc and am in the process of changing both rear cylinders ? Any thoughts as to why this should happen on wheel cylinders that are only about 6 years old or is this normal and is there anything I can do to prevent it happening again ?
