That’s a damn good idea, I’ve always resorted to molegrips to turn the piston.
Gentle heat (boiling water) and pumping the lever sometimes works if it’s not been standing seized for ages. So long as you have replacement rubbers...
I’m guessing that the brake was working before?...
@Blaze-Vile Sounds like it could be an electrical fault.
Check CDI, Coil, Spark Plug, HT Lead etc.
Air box isn't restricted. Air filter clean from debris etc?
@Bananper Yeah that sounds fine. You are meant to bleed the pump from the oil pump itself. There is a nozzle you use to bleed from. so unless something went wrong you should be okay.
