cunny12345 Posted September 24, 2011 Report Share Posted September 24, 2011 Hi, i have just gave my maggie a fresh bleed, it was all fine for about 5 minuets and then all of a sudden the left piston has just stuck out and will not return, i have tried cleaning it but no difference, any ideas on what to do?

Greetings Posted September 24, 2011 Report Share Posted September 24, 2011 The pin which secures the piston in the caliper could have detached itself. It's not common but possible. When you push it back, can you feel anything "clicking" inside? (can't find the correct word) Or the other way to find out if it's that or just a hard seal / air, would be to see if you can pull the piston out of the caliper. To do that you'd need to undo the bleed screw first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cunny12345 Posted September 24, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2011 thanks for the help guys, i think i may have fixed it, the piston actually came out so i gave it a rub down, put it back in and it seems to be returning so i will see how it goes thanks Matt.
