Brake Piston in too far?

Greggy · Oct 25, 2017

Hi Guys,

I got a little carried away when putting the piston back into the caliper (replaced seals) - its pretty much bottomed out now. Will it still have enough backspace to pump the bastard back up once I refill/bleed the lines?

Cheers,

Give it a shot and find out.

I would put a piece of wood to block the piston, and use air to push it out.

You need to get it out some anyway as there is a seal that goes around it also.......

I like Tobies idea of air.

I did it without the block of wood (or something). It sent the piston flying.
