If a chap had operated his hyd discs without a wheel fitted, what would chap have to do to release them?

Clearly this is on the off-chance that I see anyone out on a ride that has had this problem as I would not have done something as silly...
 
Cool, I like agricultural fixes, will make sure that I carry a suitable screwdriver in case the need ever arises...

Thanks
 
ideally you should use something that will not damage the pads*, such as supermarket loyalty cards wedged into any remaining gap to open the gap up again.

* unless you already have knackered pads & some fresh ones to fit.
 
Yeah, be careful with anything sharp, like a screwdriver :evil:
If you want to be safe, take out the pads first, then simply push the pistons back in.

I have used a screw driver before and detroyed a pad :oops:
