• I’m going to throw my 2p in and say;
    I too have pushed the pistons back in Shimano brakes and never had this problem, but have seen it happen to someone. The difference between us? They boshed a screwdriver between the pistons and turned it quickly the spread them. I on the other hand have always done it slowly and carefully. Makes a difference or just lucky?

  • Lucky, I did have a customer who tried that (so they claimed).

    On averages I’ve bled maybe 10 Shimano hydraulic a weeks in my current workshop, the keys difference I think between my workshop and on here, is that on here people are a little more savvy with their home mechanic skill.

  • I'm normally setting fire to things with my eyes when working on bikes and I've been known to use a screwdriver to do it. Sounds unlucky. Or maybe I'm just fucking magic. Who knows.
