Biggest problem with brakes is usually related to the pilot.

After 12 years, I need to replace one of my Van’s supplied door seals.
Has anyone found a better door seal than what you can get from Van’s?
Thanks,

Try pulling the piston out and use a little scotch brite on the piston and the cylinder. Sounds like a bit of grit is keeping it from moving freely.
