nek0 Posted October 31, 2009 Report Share Posted October 31, 2009 You might want to bleed with mineral oil first to get some lube in. While the piston is pushed out also clean up around the piston really well and put Tri-Flow or similar thin lube around it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxxis26 Posted October 31, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 31, 2009 fixed it proper this time problem was the actual piston had exspended a little due tto grime building up on it after a little light sanding with wet and dry paper it slipped right in and returned the piston hitting me in the face...bleed it and re-set it up, no leaks from the sanding on the piston and it works a treat better then ever before Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
