STEVE-0 Posted October 1, 2010 Report Share Posted October 1, 2010 Hi Guys, After my trip back to uni in the sodding rain I got my bike off the back of the car to notice the pad wasn't returning on one of the slaves. I've sprayed silcon spray around it hoping to free it up but it sounds really rough when i tried moving the slave with a pair of plyiers. I've bled the brake with a water/antifreeze solution and wondered if this was the cause. Is there any way of servicing these slaves? Or any options that could possibly work? Cheers, Steve-o x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greetings Posted October 1, 2010 Report Share Posted October 1, 2010 Under no circumstances should Echo brakes be bled with water. That's probably the cause. You can try WD40 which should temporarily fix it. As for servicing, I'm not sure if this can be done. With Maguras you just drilled the slave in the right place which allowed for the piston to be removed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ginger allen echo Posted October 1, 2010 Report Share Posted October 1, 2010 (edited) Don't use silicone spray! i used it on my pistons and it ate away at the seals until my brake started leaking! Either use WD40 or 3 in 1 oil. Edited October 1, 2010 by ginger allen echo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
