86 URq with no barkes

[Kneale Brownson]

When you pushed your pistons back out by stepping on the brakes this was 
with the rotor out?  That means the piston extended well beyond normal 
travel?  That also means the piston in the MC went beyond its normal travel 
into the areas of its cylinder normally not touched by the seals on the 
piston.  Could be lots of corrosion in those sections of the MC cylinder to 
tear up the seals.
