Re: Front Brake Lever Problem Fixed - Brake pads touching !!!

Initially the lever was stuck. It was suggested to change brake fluid taht required bleeding. The bleeding did not work because the lever won't pump or build pressure. Some suggested to check the pads and assembly. I did recheck the pads and caliper assembly but was all ok. Last saturday I took apart the master cylinder and replaced the piston so the lever was stuck because of piston not working properly. The brake fluid was also old and bad (orangish color).

So the lever is ok, brake fluid changed but the front brake pads are touching. The story got repeated in two threads earlier. first i asked about the problem and in the second after i tried of bleed brake fluid i screwed up. Now its the third post in that connection.
