    bleed brakes, push pistons all the way back in after cleaning and lubing with dot fluid

    Mine have suddenly apparently jammed at the back and like twosheds constantly rub the disc. No obvious need to bleed -they’re nice and firm. I tried pushing the pistons back in but they seem jammed. Can I get away with slopping fluid round them to free them up and then shoving them back in? Is this normal for Juicy’s by the way? If so, I can see it becoming a pain….
