Hey guys, so i've got a bit of a problem...hoping someone can help me out:

Yesterday i decided to go all out and do a proper job cleaning my bike...i was basically done and just putting the wheels back one when i discovered the rear wheel wouldn't locate because the brake pads were too close together for the disc to fit (i guess the rear brake lever must have got pushed at some point) so like Avid suggests (i've got Juicy 3's) i used a screwdriver to try and push the calipers back to give a big enough gap...but they wouldn't budge, i tried giving it some more pressure and managed to get them to move a bit, but then discovered quite a bit of brake fluid was leaking out of the seal of the main body (at the brake lever end)...so i'm not sure whether to keep going (forcing more fluid out) or whether i'm doing damage by doing so...has anyone had this happen to them? and if so what was the problem and how did u fix it?!

Thanks for ur help in advance 🙂

Happy trails!

Shakey
