Just bled them, but used an old yellow plastic caliper spacing block.
The piston have come out a little way and will not push back as i guess the system is full of fluid and the bleck was too narrow?
Any tips. I suppose I can put the pads back in and use the thin spacing block with the pads in, once ive let a bit of fluid out.
Any ideas?
So in short how without the deaore ( only an xt) caliper spacer to I get the correct piston position when bleeding them?
Are they too closed up to work (i.e. fit a rotor)? Were the pistons flush when they were new?
If they work I'd leave them, otherwise you could put the pads in and lever them out slightly with a plastic tyre lever while letting a smidge of fluid out of the bleed nipple.
thanks - just tried putting pads in the using spacer. Ages since I've bled shimano. With magura i take the pads out and use a spacer.
Now seem to be rubbing the rotor a little. Back is fine and came oem with pistons flush i think giving more pad clearance.
