I was riding and I noticed that my front brakes were draging so I took the wheel off and unbolted the front master cylendar on the right side and started messing around and the pad fell off and the cylender in the center is all the way out and It wolt go in I tried everything I opened up the bleaders all the way and it still wolt go in If anyone knows how to fix the cylendar to get it back in and fix the brakes dragging I would greatlly appreciate it
Thanks

The piston will not go back in by itself use a c-clamp on it to push it back in.If you put fluid back in the system make sure you open the master cylinder first.Your brakes may be dragging because your caliper pins are froze.Take them apart and clean and grease.Make sure you get the rubber boots put back on good to keep the grease in and the mud and water out.

 

You may have to work with the C clamp for a bit. Both rear calipers were froze up on my Mojave and Tecate. I REALLY had to show it a vulgar display of power for it to break lose and retract again.

Unfortunately, if you cannot get the cylinder to retract you may have to take the caliper to the shop. Buying a new one is not cheap. I've checked that alternative.

Good luck!
