Had my brakes squeaking like mad so took pads out of the rear for a check.

One pad is full and the other is really worn down, i remembered this was the case the last time i changed them.

So i checked the calipers were moving freely to discover the outermost one wasn't even moving. Finally got it to move out after holding the free one back with a screwdriver. Now i have oil squirting out around the piston that was previously stuck.

Is this just a case of replacing piston seals and will i need to get the brakes bled?

new seals and bleed the brake - all straightforward - see the vids on the hope site. New pistons might be useful as well.

Or send it back to hope - they will rebuild it as new with new pads for much cheapness
