I’m not clear on where the pin hole forms (or can form) on the bladder. Also, I looked at my older XT 8020 brakes and the bladder detail is different. Flush with the master cylinder housing. How would that one be removed.
I love articles like this by the way with great details other than where the hole might be.
As others have complained, why the hell do the brake pads get slippery after a period of rest? I had some that would get slick after driving to Whistler for Vancouver. Or after a few weeks of not being used. One trusted shop mechanic thought it might be oxidation of some sort. His Shimano reps weren’t sure either. More recently I find that a rebed process with water sprayed on the calliper seems to work.
