more details please...
can you get the cylinders remounted and they are not functioning? Or can you not get them back on the bike?
Do not put off living the life you dream of. Next year may never come. If we are always waiting for something to change...
Retirement, the kids to leave home, the weather or the economy, that's not living. That's waiting!
Waiting will only leaves us with unrealized dreams and empty wishes.
Did you try pumping the rear brake?
+1 they'll be loose until you pump it several times. put my front wheel on today and forgot about that for a sec, was thinking "aw fuck what'd I do"Originally Posted by brennahm

i got everything back together like i took it off, i pump the brake the cylinders pushed out but not all the way to the rotor. i pumped it like 50 times
I don't mean to be mean, but do you have both pads in there?
If so, did you loosen any brake lines? If you did, it sounds like you need to bleed the brakes.
yea there both in there lol im not that dumb i work on cars same concept right
It's the exact same concept. At this point, you could have a couple problems. This first could be easy; it could just be that you need to bleed the brakes. If you have worked on cars, it is the same concept as well. You can bleed it right at the caliper, and I would bleed it at the master. If the master does not have a bleed nipple, I just loosen the bolt that ties the brake line into the master and bleed it there.
The other problem might be that the pistons may need to be removed and cleaned. You have dirt that has built up in there, or you may have a bad seal in there. You are going to have to pull it apart to see. Many times, they just need to be cleaned.
Somethings not straight...
