Hi guys I’m need of some help by making a stupid mistake.

I setup up my wahoo KICKR and forgot to stick the spacer in the disc brake and I’ve pressed the rear lever and my pads are now in the closed position. How do I rectify this?

Thanks guys

    just prise them apart - pad separator thingy or, tbh, anything really thin: metal ruler. paint scraper.
    .
    The camera down the willy isn't anything like as bad as it sounds.

    I'd take the pads out and push the pistons in with a plastic tyre lever (if pushing pistons avoid something that could scratch)
