RX7 FB - sticking brake piston?

Our project car is an RX7 FB that we're bringing back to show quality. Today we managed to put the rear drive shaft back on having a lot of trouble sourcing a seal of the right size.

The video shows how the brake disk was "sticking" while the engine was running, in part affected by the limited slip diff or possibly a sticky brake piston. The other side of the axle had a tyre mounted on it and we stopped it rotating so that this side of the axle received the power.

The cloud of dust at the end was kicked up by the tyre after an enthusiastic kick of the throttle ;-)

We can't drive the car on the road yet (needs an MOT and insurance) but it does park on a steep drive.
