Annyingly a break pad came out of my caliper on my rear Juicy 5s and as a result when I breaked my piston pin has hit the disc and broken the pin off my piston.

I managed to find the pin.

Is it possible to just put it back on? or can it be repired? or is piston/caliper broken and need new one?

If can be reapied is it easy?

Thanks

    Believe the piston is trashed, i'd be on there suppliers site looking for replacement parts, or a trip to my local trusted bike shop

    nope, your going to have to go to your LBS and get a new piston unfortunatly :(

    If your bike is new then try your luck for a free one ;p if its old they not that much anyways...and if your ok with maintenance you can easily do it yourself...providing you have a air compressor or a good floorpump
