I recently goofed and pumped one of the pistons too far out of my calliper.
I was in the middle of a bleed, so kinda just panicked and slipped it straight back in.
I sprayed everything down with alcohol and wiped it down and finished up the bleed.
Cleaned everything (I thought) before I went for a test ride and bedded in the pads to the new rotor.
Things seemed good on 2 rides, but on my latest ride, the brake isn’t locking up.
I’ve since removed the pads and hung the brake vertically with some paper towel in place of the pads to check for leakage.
No signs of leaks, but there’s no pressure in the line, and the fluid is likely being help up in the vacuum.
Suggestion for how to check for leaks?
I’m hoping for a clever idea that will save me trial and error and ruining expensive sets of pads in the process...
Cheerio.
