I've tried taking the lid off of the brake fluid and pushing the piston back with a block of wood. Also tried opening up the bleed valve and doing the same. Hasn't budged! Any ideas!? Thanks. jmmj Fri Feb 15, 2008 7:42 pm ....actually i just sorted it out. I used a G-clamp to ease it back. Worked a charm. -Mike Powered by phpBB © 2001, 2005 phpBB Group
