    On my trx I just took the caliper apart and cleaned everything. I put new brake pads on also. The problem is that when you pull the brake the piston will tighten the pads on the rotor but after the lever is released the piston won't return enough. The pads still rub on the rotor. Do they just need to be rode a little or am I missing something?

    No this is how the hydraulic adjusts and is why you need a resevoir. though if they are still dragging hard you might have a piston that is bound up
