downhill_rob2@hotmail.com Posted April 8, 2010 Report Share Posted April 8, 2010 Hey people, after well over a year, me and my mate have decided to get out trials bike out for the weekend and have a little mess around, but when i was putting my bike back together, i thought i would give my brake a bleed, i took it off of the bike, and was going to give it the "bath bleed" but when i pulled the lever in, the piston got stuck in,,, and wouldnt release... i put the airline on it to pop it back out, and when i pull the lever, it just gets stuck in again... it seams really stiff to pull the lever... i tried to WD40 the piston to lube it up abit, but that doesnt seam to have helped.... any ideas on what it could be? cheers, rob x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ginger allen echo Posted April 8, 2010 Report Share Posted April 8, 2010 If it's an 04 lever then these levers are prone to seizing up. But if you just bleed your brake normal it should push the piston back out and it wont get stuck again whilst the lever is in use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
