[Closed] Help! Formula Oro Pistons won't retract

Unfortunately as I'm only back in the UK for a weekend this is a little urgent as I'd love to ride tomorrow so if anyone knows a quick fix....

I came back wheeled the bike out from where it has been for a couple of month and the rear brake was jammed on. I've tried retracting the pistons by the usual means, and they do so to a certain point, beyond that if you push one in the other one comes out. It all adds up to not being able to get the wheel in. Is there a quick fix?

Any help very, very much appreciated!

sounds like either air in the system or a wee bit too much oil, had a similar problem with my hopes the other week a quick bleed and 10 minutes later good as new. It might also be corrosion on the piston but i doubt it from what you say. Good luck, if your at fort bill i imagine a nice mech will oblige for a beer
