Moderator Cynic Posted August 17, 2015 Moderator Share Posted August 17, 2015 Needed bleeding. How come? There have been a few of these lately. Is everthing free. The caliper pins can stick. The piston can also stick/sieze, master cyl seals can fail. Reducing brake efficientcy.Whats the problem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevtheRev Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 As above , strip , clean and lubricate . And don't give up 'til it's sorted . Them's the brakes kid , On a side note , it's very dangerous to use compressed air to remove brake pistons from the caliper . A few years ago my brother got hold of a set of surgeon's expanding rib spreaders . Pop 'em inside the piston , turn the screw and presto , piston locked on and easily popped out without any danger to life, limb or low flying aircraft . If you are using compressed air , wrap the bloody caliper in a towel or something , unless you want to be left looking like you're wearing a monocle for the rest of your days .

Jingo1987 Posted August 17, 2015 Author Share Posted August 17, 2015 Don't worri I no how bad they go seen it befor lol but when the break is pressed u can c the pads moving so don't think it's stuck could do with a clean tho but when I was bleeding the breaks as soon as I undone the bleed nipple and pressed the break the was fluid right away and no air so do u think the air would be right down the pipe somewhere as everythink els looks fine and could it need ajusting if u can do that thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator Cynic Posted August 17, 2015 Moderator Share Posted August 17, 2015 Is there something actually wrong with the brake. You do know there not stunning at the best of times. The one on my tdr is pathetic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevtheRev Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 The piston can make the pads move a little even when the sliders are seized , but the brake won't be very efficient . Will it lock up the rear wheel ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jingo1987 Posted August 17, 2015 Author Share Posted August 17, 2015 No it won't lock up and what will I have to do if it is seized not to good on breaks that's y I turned to you tube for bleeding them lol thanks guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevtheRev Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 As above J , you'll have to strip , clean and lube the brake . By the sound of things I think you should get someone to do it for you . I wouldn't take ANY chances when it comes to brakes . Bad brakes can turn into bad breaks very quickly . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
