AdamR28 Posted September 6, 2006 Report Share Posted September 6, 2006 Silicone spray on the seals, job done.Make sure ALL the extra is cleaned off afterwards or your pads will get contaminated.A bleed will help too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just email them, explain that your not too sure how to bleed it and ask if you could possibly send it in. All your paying for is the postage to get it there, they even pay for the postage to send it back! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
