Brake Caliper Help (bit waffley)

Is he still about? <Pats Nfilter>

 

Oh but it usually does y'know. Where it doesn't is when the brake pistons(s)
are completely siezed up. There was no specific mention of a binding or
jammed on brake.

Pardon? sliding pin callipers? sorry I don't do pikey stuff.any more.

 

*ribbit*

 

Funny you should say that - I _was_ going to add, that the first time
I ever used my compressor to do this, the piston flew out, after being
under some considerable pressure for some time (2bar ish) and missed my
eyball by not very many mm's.

But then I thought; anyone with a compressor would be savvy enugh to
realize these type of hazards.

 

I wouldn't waste my time.

 

Too true, or a bent bit of steel:

Not wooooshed in relation to my bike - With the caliper bolts removed,
the caliper will slide enough off the disc to get the G clamp on the
caliper piston.
