Can't adjust brake clearance

<< < (2/2)

hairygit:
Split the 2 halves of the caliper again, remove the pad over the piston, should just pull out with no effort at all, then get a G cramp and force the piston all the way into the cylinder. Then replace the pad, if the pad is tight in any way, you need to clean around the circumference of the metal part of the pad (if they are new pads they may have too much paint on them, and it should just fall in and out) When it falls in and out easily, apply a smear of coppaslip to the metal circumference, making sure NOT to get any on the pad material itself, reassemble the caliper and try again.

G clamp obtained from next door, but I need daylight proper, so I'll try tomorrow. Thanks for this.

Make sure the tiny hole inside the master cylinder isn't blocked.  The fluid needs to go back into the reservoir after braking.  If it's blocked, the brakes will stick on
