grahamjayzee Posted July 12, 2009 Report Share Posted July 12, 2009 I'd pay money for a brake that doesn't bind, locks easily and has no free play! Stork, I have blown everything out but haven't actually taken the reservior feed off to check for debris. I'm not sure I can face another day at it today but may look at this when my loins are sufficiently girded. Graham Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stork955 Posted July 12, 2009 Report Share Posted July 12, 2009 A few stiff drinks may help the girding of the loin move to the positive! ( And a night or two away from it...) Good luck, Stork :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wruffit Posted December 3, 2011 Report Share Posted December 3, 2011 After reading the content here I was having nightmares about bleeding the rear brake... but using the simple syringe technique from the top down, hey presto it works a treat! Thanks for the advice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
borders1david Posted January 20, 2017 Report Share Posted January 20, 2017 Just had the same issue with my old 98 beta. With the caliper removed you can see the piston come out and return in with each press of the pedal. So when the pad wears half way you lose the pedal effect and it feels like you have air or goosed seals. So new pads do the job and give you instant response. Maybe the piston seals are too small by design and allow the piston to move back in once the pdeal is released. I wonder how many kits for master and slave beta have sold for nothing. You could put packers behind the worn pads if you want to use all the pad and can't afford the £13 to replace them. Hope this is useful.
