rear brake problem..help!

[Myrtle150]

Hey guys-
I put new pads on the rear brake of my 400 today and when i went to push down the pedal, there was no pressure, it just went down. I noticed some fluid leaking out of where the parkin brake piece goes in(i had it off). every time I push the pedal down, a little bit of fluid leaks out around the edges of the piece connected to the piston that the parking brake screw pushes in (hope you got that..). So if i get a parking brake b/o, should this little leak stop?? thanks

so you took the parking brake out and didnt put on a blockoff? If so just put on the block off (2 bolts) and it will work.

no...i just found out its an o-ring inside the caliper that busted...now i gotta figure out how to get the piston out...:(

Yes you have a seal blown for sure. The piston will pull out from the front. Take your pads off and the metal bracket and it will pull out of the caliper, then put on the new seal and you'll be set.
