Can anyone help?
Had a puncture in my rear tyre. Took the wheel out and had it repaired and refitted the wheel with no issues. However the rear calliper does not want to line up properly and I cant get the brake to pump up. The calliper is not square and rocks rather than slides on the pins. If I take out one bolt its locates nicely but once the bolt is refitted its back to no go. Has anyone else had an issue like this?
I am a fairly competent home mechanic and have performed this operation many time on many different bikes (I have owned around 50 bikes)
Any advice?
Thanks
Chris

There's a notch on the inside of the swingarm that the caliper should slot into, it's easy to refit the wheel without first making sure it is seated correctly, I know because I did it lol. Maybe not the problem but worth having a check.

Is it ABS? They will have sensors fitted, and if a sensor is knocked out of position and not registering a spinning wheel, then it will think the wheel is locked up and release the pressure
