The piston physically fell out of the caliper?

If your brake feels fine now, then it should be fine.
|
did you bleed the brake system afterwards?
|
how did you manage to let the brake piston fall out? were you pumping the brakes with no pads in?
|
^probably forgot the calipers were out when he pushed the brake pedal.
If should be fine as long as the piston went in smoothly - if you put it in at a weird angle and then forced it, then the walls might be scored = you're gonna leak brake fluid. do a good flush and you should be fine though. |
thanks guys,, yes long story short we pushed the pedal without brake pads in.. lol
it went in smoothly.. i think.. and bled after. so should be fine?? |
yes you should be fine. hopefully you made sure that no dirt/other crap got stuck on the piston before you pushed it back.
|
I'd bet its fine! drive it, just check for brake leaks...if one rim gets significantly dirtier than another, its time to check for leaks but if not...have fun!
