I have started to check out my front brake dragging problem - both sides and quite severe.
On the right side the pads are worn evenly and the pistons move freely but the pins are quite corroded and one was slightly bent (by about 1- 2mm in the center). How can I check the brake line for internal swelling/collapsing? From the outside it looks and feels fine. BTW are the shims important? Whoever serviced the brakes previously did not replace them.
