Brakes bled but still not working, ive come to the conclusion the piston had seized. Ive removed the piston and cleaned it up as well as the caliper, do i need a special grease to grease up the piston before i put it all back together?
Cheers Sean
seanchubbsParticipantHi Imperialdata,
i wayched the vid you sent me aswell as a few on youtube and have finally got the wheel and caliper off. I have put in the new brake pads and tightened everything back up etc.
I now have a new problem though,pressing the brake lever doesnt activate the brake, i have pumped it a few times to let the brake fluid through but still nothing, any ideas?Thanks Sean.
seanchubbsParticipantThe air filter has been replaced now, i wasnt sure when it was last done but the problem still persist, any other ideas?
Cheers SeanseanchubbsParticipantthe original ones which where on it the battalax bt45’s
seanchubbsParticipanthandle great, but a little over 2k miles and thats them f****d wire showing through etc. ive got myself a pair of Bridgestones though so all is well.
seanchubbsParticipantafter a little over 2k miles the wire in the tyre is now showing through, so it looks like back to the drawing board for a new set of tyres.
