@Duke of Stow i have done the suspension bounce before installing the wheel back on... and those pads are actually only a year old.. i needed one new for the last MOT. surely they cant be worn out already, hence why i didnt buy new ones... il buy them now though. @Cream_Revenge i cant get a full revolution by hand....
The point is not that they are worn out but worn in - to the old, scored and uneven discs, so they won't contact your new, flat discs properly.
have you tried pumping up the brake then craking the bleed nipples.? v.common on car hoses to block up.
@finm excuse my ignorance, but if it was a blocked hose, wouldn't the thing not get stuck.... as opposed to getting stuck? because if it was a blocked hose.. the thing wont actually engage right?
it will pump fluid in but the pressure will dissipate after a while. also a wee rusty lip in the master will allow you to keep pumping fluid in but not return properly but again the pressure will release after a wee while.
Is it both calipers, or just one? figure that out, put something between the pads on the caliper that's off so you don't push the pots out , check them one at time, odds are its only one side ,ill have a fiver on the left if someone wants to start a book.
Take the caliprers off and spin the front wheel, if it still won't spin more than a turn, it's the bearing, axel, etc. If it spins freely you know it's the brakes.
