Bit of advice needed guys.
I need to fit a new piston on a hayes stroker as it just doesn't return.
Got the kit with dead easy instructions.
Push piston in,lube up the barrel,work it loose and the piston should pop out as there's a spring behind it.
Yer right 🙁
This thing just will not pop out as it,s still a bit stiff inside the barrel.
This is after an hour of trying.
Can you push it out from the inside if i strip it down...
Help me STW...your my only hope 🙂
I used to look after 20 bikes with strokers....19 of them ended up with sticking master pistons.The hose attaches at a 45 degree angle so you can't do the stick a spoke down it trick.I ended up bodging a piece of hose connected to a floor pump....and firing the piston across the workshop at about mach 3 when the needle hit 100psi!!Enjoy 😀
Hahahaha.Thought so.
This thing just wont budge.
By the power vested in me i,ve done it 😀
Brake fluid and a syringe pumped from the caliper with the tubing zip tied on and one hell of a lot of pressure..
Thanks Rorschach for your pressure idea...
