Try taking the final off the right side and pull the brake pad pistons out all the way just so it is in the bore of the cylinder. Then put the discs back in, line everything up, and put the final back on. This will make sure the master cylinder is not bottoming out before the piston and pad makes contact with the disc. Also it is recommended to not use hyd. oil with the master cylinders. The best thing to do is to replace all the O-rings in the brake pistons in the rear end with O-rings that will not disintegrate when they come in contact with the brake fluid. They can be found on Mcmasters. I had the same issue with mine and then eventually switched to outboard brakes.

It's my understanding you lose 40 some pounds if you go with external brakes with the aluminum hats.
