Ill start a new thread for the Sunday ride

Yep, I didn't try again tonight, I took my cassette off ready for the new one instead.

Codes are a nightmare - old pads and screwdriver/Allen key will get the pistons back a bit. Then you'll need to put the levers horizontal and loosen the bleed screw and try again. Mop up the dot fluid sharpish as the plastic coating doesn't like it.

You might get away without a bleed, maybe not. Don't try unless you have a bleed kit.

Alternatively, remove one side of the new pads and put the other pad and metal assembly in. Now put in the other pad using tweezers and small screwdriver from behind the pad (where the pad screw goes in). I've done it this way a couple of times.

If you need a bleed kit I've got one.

Thanks mate,

I a picking a bleed kit and fluid up today so I will have a go tonight. Glad it's a known problem really I was thinking they might just be getting old!
