Hi folks, been having a problem with my rear brakes binding and after checking everything out proceeded to rebuilding the rear caliper and replacing the seals.
Upon trying to bleed the caliper back up I can only get the bleed nipple closest to the front of the bike to expel air and fluid.
Nothing comes out of the other nipple. But if I close the one I can get fluid out of and pump the pedal up the brake becomes locked on....... open the nipple the wheel moves but pads are still binding.
The combined braking ststem drives me mad it says the rear brake operates the middle piston but it must operate all three as all three have come out upon bleeding throurh the front nipple. Im losing patience now and I am getting very confused as my rear brakes were fine until I changed my pads and pushed the pistons back in which is why i changed the seals as I guessed I ust have dragged some muck back in. I hope you can help as I need my bike for work.
Hope Ive not been to confusing. Mylesconfused:
