Not a bad engine to use!

I've written a 20v guide on here, it's quite old, so the cost is probably out, but the method is still the same.

Sounds like you've picked up a little grit or something in the piston.
Could be that they've started to corrode as well.

Fortunately rebuild kits are pretty cheap and you can do them yourself without too much trouble.

Before I changed out the discs and pads they were extremely hot. So decided to give them a service as above.

Figured it might have been jammed slides or pistons but everything seemed very free to move when put back together.

Now they are binding but not as badly.
