sorry, another workshop question.
I'm about to give my bike the tlc it needs and had some great answers on here already for BB.
quite happy to do most maintenance on my bike, but have only ever bled my brakes, and i'm not convinced i did a great job either.
anyway the situation now is the one of the rear pistons doesn't seem keen on retracting properly.
it might just be too much fluid in the system, it might be something more serious.
they are Avid Elixir R SL hydraulics (according to the review from 2010 i managed to dig up on another site)
with the pads in place there isn't room to get the rotor in so the back wheel can't fit on the bike.
is it likely that i've ...
a) wreaked it... so it's time to buy either a new caliper or (not that i can afford it it) a new brake set
b) it could be fixed by loosening up the bleed valve and letting excess fluid out before gently squeezing with a g-clamp (i know not to knock lumps out of it with a hammer) or some other magic trick
c) its probably time to order a caliper rebuild kit for it... and if so where do i get one from? probably have to order it i expect?
d) something dead obvious i haven't thought of, but one of you wonderful people can suggest.
i'm happy to have a go at it, if i can find some decent instructions, but if it's a shop job then so be it.
(i should mention i have the avid bleed kit if that makes a difference)
