Front brake stuck...

[250RWANTER]

1982 Honda 250R

Went to squeeze the front brake lever and it wont retract. I took the handle off and the 'push rod' that the handle pushes below the master cylinder is stuck.
What would cause this and how do I fix it?

Here is a picture:

that picture doesnt look like part of a front brake system to me ;)

umm that looks like a piston but anyways. i need a little more imformation about the brakes.

[250RWANTER]

Yeah, that picture is what the front brake handle pushes into on the master cylinder.

What info do you need about the brakes?

[200xBoy]

i dont know much about the 1982 250r's but i would take the brake apart and if anything is rusty take like 1000 grit sandpaper to it. and your o rings and seals could be bad that happened on my 200x. but it wasnt vert much to fix like 20 bucks

that picture is not picture of that part, that picture shows a burnt up air cooled R piston., i think you linked the wrong one.

crap, I'm doing great today huh?

Fixed the link in the original post.
Whatcha think?

[200xBoy]

hmm. have you tried to bleed them

[250RWANTER]

yeah, but with that stuck...I cant build pressure...the handle doesnt retract if that piston doesnt pop back out.

i running out of sugesions i would take the brake completely off. drain all the fluid. flush it out. and work with it.

[250RWANTER]

I was just trying to narrow it down to see if its somewhere in the caliper itself, or if its just the master cylinder.

Guess, I'll take both of them apart and see what the deal is!

Thanks!
