dirt jumper jake Posted April 30, 2011 Report Share Posted April 30, 2011 Strip it down and change the seals and rebleed is what i would do first, seal kits a pretty cheap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dirt jumper jake Posted May 1, 2011 Report Share Posted May 1, 2011 no idea how I would do that either Literally undo the bore cap, pop out the pistons with a screw driver, take out the old seals, put new ones in and then put it back together. Nothing to it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigjames Posted May 1, 2011 Report Share Posted May 1, 2011 If you don't feel comfortable doing that ring up hope, explain the issue and send it back. They'll probably charge you pittance to sort it and get it done in a few days; they're pretty damn good like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you don't get a lunch break or breaks, then give them an email and contact your local citizen's advice bureau... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
