On my bike I was changing by back tire when I accidentally stepped on my back lever. the pads are now stuck together and i cant get my back tire back on. I am unable to go to a shop for the next few weeks and I have tried to open them up by prying with a screwdriver.
Brakes are avid juicy threes with an 8 inch rotor if that helps.
ThanksHow do I get my back brake pads to come apart?just take a flat head and prey them apart. I have done it to. ya just make sure when you take you wheel off to stick something in the caliper like cardboard or something so if that happens again you don't have to sweat it.How do I get my back brake pads to come apart?Not familiar with Avid's juicy 3's brake system but you should be able to depress the piston to release the pressure. Here is the tech manual. Good luck! http://www.wrower.pl/instrukcje/Avid/2006-JuicyTechManual.pdfHow do I get my back brake pads to come apart?I've got giant MPH brakes and when i changed the pads the same thing happened, but i realized there was a a thing on the side of the hydraulic reservoir that changed how far the pads were together and you just had to change this. The pads will be closer together if you have just put new ones in because they will be thicker.
Hope this helps.
