Mongooser Posted October 24, 2016 Posted October 24, 2016 So i took my pads out to clean them,as soon as i took the out the one caliper jusy slid out, i did not.pull the brake?? So was it in wrong? And with it half of the fluid ran out [emoji35]
bikebloke Posted October 24, 2016 Posted October 24, 2016 oopsit"ll go back in (carefully) you should have put a bleed block inyou"ll have to bleed the brakes now if you arent confident/competent put it all in plastic jiffy bag and take it to your LBS

And with it half of the fluid ran out [emoji35]If there was air in the brakes with a little bit of pressure this can happen. You can put the loose piston back in carefully but everything needs to be spotlessly clean. You have choice now - you have to bleed this brake set (lever and caliper) to make them functional.

bikebloke Posted October 24, 2016 Posted October 24, 2016 you may have pulled the lever a few times before you took them out and there was pressure or you turned the bike upside down (shouldn't do that )and air in the system caused pressure or you may have pushed one piston in when you wiggled the pads to get them out.......or they may have been badly bled and there was too much oil in system either way now it needs to be fixedthe good news is its not broken it just needs to be put right maybe its a perfect opportunity to learn how to bleed your own brakes and save money next time ...go buy a bleed kit and get on youtube

Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk Is this the same caliper that had issues in your previous thread? If so, the what JXV said. The damaged piston assembly would have primed the brake system with air, resulting in the piston blowing out when the mechanical stop (your brake pads) was removed. Ideal opportunity to rebuild your lever (the internals are still with me for your rebuild) and then have your system blead.

bikebloke Posted October 24, 2016 Posted October 24, 2016 well if they where new or came from a dealer take them back and let them check them or take them to decent LBS and see if there is a problem "last time they just stuck some fluid in the lever and bam thats it " is not going to solve the problem this time (and probably didn't last time either)
Mongooser Posted October 24, 2016 Author Posted October 24, 2016 Well ill have it checked out on wensday,im not gonna ride till next month again so no rush for fixing it Sent from my GT-I8190 using Tapatalk
