Hi folks. I've been trying to service the front brake caliper on a friends Beta trials bike.
Removed the pistons to clean them up and now they dont seem to go back in fully.
They'll go back about half way but that doesnt leave enough space for a set of new pads and the disk of course. I used a smear of grease on the pistons when putting them back in, maybe I should use brake fluid?
I hope that all makes sense.
Any ideas gratefully received. Thanks
