Some floating rotors are out of spec (incl. Hope). I suspect this thread has the wrong title 🙂

I see what you did, there...

So, to establish if it’s a caliper issue, options really are to eyeball the inside and see if the piston has retracted, try and fit a bleed block, or simply open the bleed nipple and try to push the pistons further in. Be careful, if this last one works you’ll have a small squirt of brake fluid in whatever direction the nipple is pointing. It’s possible the brakes have been bled with part used pads or otherwise overfilled?

I bled the brake last night with the block in I may just give the nipple a quarter turn and push piston back as much as I can and try That the front one went in no probs
