Hello All
Just doing my first build and have a problem......
Have taken the pads out of my front brake, a Tektro Auriga Comp. The problem is that The caliper has come out and the whole thing is oily now, I can't seem to get the caliper to go back in enough to get the pads and clip in...
What do I do?
Really a shame as the bike was just about ready to go, now I am grounded until I get this fixed!
Thanks to anyone who can help!

Caliper, or piston? I suspect you mean the latter. Is difficult to get back in. I would drain the oil out, try and push it back in, then rebleed with fresh oil. Yiu may need new seals if you have damaged them.
If unsure, take to a shop.0 -
hi yes its the piston...
sounds like a trip to the bike shop!
thanks for your help, much appreciated0
