I agree with Ditch, use grease, not brake fluid. Why? Beacause brake fluid absorbs water and if it is trapped around the seal and in the exposed gap of the piston, IT WILL CORRODE IT. That is why you get all that clag when you have a leaking caliper. They were wrong to tell you not to use the correct grease and to use fliud. Regular use of brake cleaner will keep the dirt mobile and remember to clean the caliper around the pistons while they are still extended, before you replace the pads and the pistons are retracted. You cannot true up a Tony kart brake disc carrier. The Tony disc fits in a groove in the carrier, unlike others that bolt to the side of the carrier. The early Tony brake carrier used to distort the disc. Some people fitted it with four pinch bolts and split bthe carrier into two halves. The new carrier is better but not perfect
