2002 Ford KA - Ford KA brakes - ralphyfordka

Hi folks, just picked up a 2002 Ford KA as a winter runaround tonight. Just after some advice as the brakes take a fair bit of force to operate, and noticed on the previous MOT theres an advisory mentiong front brake imbalance. Anyone have any ideas of what this might be before I have a look myself so I have an idea what to look for. Thanks

disassemble the calipers and make sure the slide pins are free.

I'd change the fluid too.
