Which point about WD-40 that I specified do you disagree with? That it's a Water Displacer (notice the letters), or that it leaves a sticky residue? It's not a penetrant. It's a lousy lubricant. The only thing _I_ use it for, is as a cutting fluid when turning aluminum on the lathe, for that it's fine. As far as any sort of putting it on brakes, though, it's entirely the wrong substance. Further, how do you reason that pulsating source (bidrectional) is caused by a stuck caliper (a static, one directional force)? What possible circumstances could make that be true? I'm trying to picture a stuck caliper causing a pulsation, and the geometry just isn't there. A drag, sure, but that'd be consistant unless the _rotor wasn't planar_. So, other than suggesting the wrong chemical to fix the wrong problem which doesn't match the symptoms described, your advice is right on. If you do have some actual logic or reasoning behind your, um, theory, I'd be delighted to read it.
