Hi, My RV7 is flying for three years, and I have noticed for a while a difference between both brake pedals: when I apply full brakes, the top of the left pedal is displaced by ½ an inch where the top of the right one is displaced for more than an inch. I did not remember this at the beginning.
I understand that the brakes are « self-purging » so a bubble should end up in the transparent tubes on top of the brake pedals and should not stay in the brake piston? there is no visible bubble on the line. I have a single brake installation so I cannot compare with the other side.
Any suggestion on how to tune the brake pistons to have them balanced? Should I replace the brake pads? I cannot see a difference in brake wear.
Thanks, Nicolas
