My rear 7 is being a pain. Needed new pads, got some. Removed old pads. Moved spinner (can't remember proper name. The red one) anti-clockwise as far as it goes. Went to put the new pads in, but pistons were too far in, tried to push them out with screwdriver, didn't move. Pads still won't go in. Now i have no back brake.

The brake needs a bleed. But what else is wrong?

    press pads back in. STRAIGHT not at an angle.

    you should be able to pres one in and it will press the other out if the system if over full.

    if the brakes have been bled with out the pistons being fully retracted then yes you may ned to lose some excess fluid.
