I,m putting back the swing arm after replacing rear tire on my Reverse Trike and the Brake caliper seems closed and will Not slip on the silver plate so I can re-bolt it? Any Hints? Thanks.

Try releasing the pressure on the system at the bleeder valve.

Try moving the piston back into the calliper using a small C-clamp... somebody probably squeezed the brake handle when the calliper was off the rotor.. fairly common...you may need to open the fluid reservoir a bit if it wont move...

Got the pads open but had to bleed the line then blew airfrom my tire compressor and then the WD40 and a flat blade screwdriver and Little by Little they opened and I cleaned them off good Soo now to review the excellent 2 part Video on changing the fluid and bleeding the lines! Thanks Again!
Too Hot to ride anyway?
