Default HELLLLLPPPPP!!! (brake problem)

WTF did I do?

I was attempting to compress the piston(s) on by front brake caliper. the top piston went in smoothly, and the bottom piston expanded.... nothing new i though, just compress it and play with the sea-saw thing for a while, etc.

the bottom piston won't budge.

yes, the brake resevior cap is off.

what do i do now? its like the bottom piston is locked in possition.

HELP!!!!

Default Ohhhhhh - you popped it out too far. This happened to me at the track once...

I had to remove the caliper and use a C-clamp to "pop" it back in. Next time, be careful how far you push each piston in!
