iv put Stainless Steel Braided Brake lines on it thinking it was that could it be the copper pipe going to the front brake or the servo and sorry its only the passagner side

Remove the passenger side caliper, lift the seals alittle from the piston & spray some WD in there. Then push the pistons back with a G clamp or pipe plyers, remove the pads and rub the friction part of the pad on some 180 sand paper to clean.Then Clean with a wire brush were the pads sit in the caliper carrier, copper grease the pads back up and build back together. This is what we used to do for sticky brakes on Mot failures.
Hope ya get sorted.

Had sticking brakes on my last evo and my current scoob, brake frees if you tap pedal. Everything was replaced on the evo and it still stuck and so far nobody has cured the scoobs issue. Like I keep saying over and over again, there aren't many top notch Jap tuners in the north.
Every problem I get it has to go through the hands of 4-5 garages.
