rickyb Posted December 18, 2005 Report Share Posted December 18, 2005 Just top it up and it takes time leaving the rim because you have a lazy piston take the brake off with the pads off press the brake and clean all the s**te off the piston then cover it in WD40 or someting like it. to top the brake up, the piston you take the bolt out of to bleed it have it so its facing upwards then take the bolt out and press the brake untill the water comes to the top of the hole then let it out a bit so you can stilll see the water and just top the water up untill you can't get anymore in (make sure the TPA is right out) then put the bolt back in and set your brake and away you go hope i'v helped mate.rickyb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
t-mag_rider Posted December 18, 2005 Report Share Posted December 18, 2005 If the lever is feeling spongey and/or very slowley returning then thse are to sighns of needing a new bleed, also if the tpa is all the way out and is not doing any thing, you really should check the threads in it, and definatley rebleed the brake.Hope I help.Ollie.
