Greetings all-
I am in the middle of bleeding the brakes, and I have ran into a problem. I am using ez-bleed. To insure that i have all the air out of the system, I pulled the pads and put in blocks of wood to push the pistons back. Bled the system. Now I just pulled the blocks of wood out, and one caliper, the left rear, is stuck pushed out. To my surprise, the block of wood fell out, and while I was bleeding the other, the pistons on that caliper were pushing into the rotor. I have taken the ez-bleed off, and have no pressure within the system, but I still can't push either of the 2 pistons back so I can get the pads in. They are REALLY stuck. Any ideas? BTW, the MC cap is off while I am trying to push the pistons back.


Thanks-

Joe HC
