    Fu*k sakes i was changing my front pads a few days ago, and my mate accidently pulled the front brake whilst it was all disconnected and it started to piss brake fluid and i think it pushed the pistons out? well anyway i managed to get them back in to put the brakes over the disc, but now i have no front brake at all, i have tried bleeding them, but theres no pressure building up, i think the pistons are fooked, because they push out, but only ever so gently u can hardly see it, any ideas, or should i just buy a new caliper? cheers :emb:

    the whole system wants bleeding, good luck if you've never done it before.
