[QUOTE="Hucker, post: 179307, member: 19868"]
I went to go replace my front pads lastnight and everything went great until I had to put the wheel on.  Those new pads were awful tight, so I took apart the brake and squeezed down the pistons in order to have maximum clearance for the new pads.  After opening the resevior on the bars, I pushed the pistons in almost all of the way.  I knew oil would come out of the resevior so I was ready for that.  After pushing the pistons back, and putting the wheel back on I had this problem.  The bike would brake fine, but for some reason the pistons would not retract back enough to let the wheel free-spin.  I bleed the brakes and made sure there was no air in the system.  Now I might have screwed up, but I have bled brakes on a car nurmerous times and its pretty much the same system.  My Clymer manual says that I might need new seals on the pistons???

Has anyone had this problem?  Could it just be that I didn't bleed it correctly, or should I just go get a rebuild kit for the front brake and be done with it.  Its a dual piston setup, like 99% of the 125/250's out there.  Any help would be appreciated because this one has me stumped...

Thanks :)
