leking brake caliper - piston stuck. was created by ggenovez

Hi all,

I think I found why I can't bleed my brakes. looks like the rebuilt brake has a leak in it.

I tried getting the piston out by applying air to it but it is leaking too much.

Any ideas?

Thanks

George

A piece of wood block between the piston and caliper brake pad area to stop the piston when it comes out. Fill the caliper with some heavier oil, like clean motor oil, and more air volume, not really pressure. See if that will move it.
