Posted: 18:17 - 26 Mar 2004 Post subject: Pushing Brake piston back in |
|
|
After taking me rear wheel off to get a new tyre put on, i accidentally pulled the brake lever, pushing the pistons out .
Anyone got any ideas about how to get it back in?
I've tried pushing but it doesn't work
Any Help would be appreciated
Thanks ____________________ is that it |

You mean right out as in fallen out? or just too far to get the pads in again?
Use a thin bit of metal and a clamp if you can get it right onto the pistons, otherwise I would do the same but just push either side evenly with your hands. Just do it slowly and it should be ok. |

Good and luck come into mind...
I use some of those long-handled adjustable pliers for a good amount of force. When my brakes seized it took me and my Dad using a couple of these things to get them pushed back in.
definitely a mistake I'm sure you won't be repeating anytime soon!
