Hi,
I am trying to get my rear Shimano Dura Ace brakes to work again.
I have fully taken them apart (except for the one small bit).

What they don't seem to want to do is snap back into neutral after the brake has been used. Any suggestions much appreciated.

I am quite a novice at bike maintenance.

Thanks
K

    no this was part of the reason for taking them apart.

    Took them apart, gave them a good clean and put them back together.
    The brake itself works. As in it pulls but then does not release.

    Which is a step forward as pulling wasn't possible either.

    It appears to me that it is something simple that is stopping it from releasing back to neutral but not sure what.

    Would seem a bit of a waste to go out and buy a new set.
