Please forgive the ignorance I have just started working on my own bike and have run into an issue after riding in the mud yesterday. 

Brakes were just redone and worked great till I rode in the mud. Now when I press my rear brake, It will go in, but not go back open. I removed the pads to see if something was stuck and there isn’t. 

Any input would be appreciated. Bike is a 2020 Fc250 with Brembo rear brake. IMG 0358.jpeg?VersionId=6Gdz6tsM0lmFz

With the pads out you pushed the pistons too far, open bleed and push them back in. Bleed system

Thanks for the info. I did that and still won’t go back in. Bled everything out of it after that and still stuck out. Any ideas?

I got it. Because it was so far out it was crooked and wouldn’t go back in. Straightened it out and it went right in. I will bleed the brakes and let you know how it goes. Thanks again!
