Hayes pads stuck!

have you tried priyng them apart (gingerly) with a flat screwdriver.. you probably can't pull them out like you said bec there is pressure applied to them (pistons pushed out--engaged). Or did I miss your question entirely..I'm a lil drunk!

Did you pull the lever with the wheel out? ya cant do that with hydralic brakes. your LBS will sell (or if their nice give) you 2 plastic spacers for when you have your wheel out but if your in a bind a picie of cardbord will do. as Ozzer (get your ass back here!)
said a screw driver will do
nm, i fixed it with the 'ol deck of cards trick. thanks anyways!
