Awaiting a repair manual for the Kymco 150, however my partner decided to attempt to change front brake pads, as it seemed like a straight forward job. The brakes went on well and seemed a good fit. He did not bleed the brake fluid first. The brake lever was extremely hard afterward, so we attempted bleeding the line to see if that released pressure, since the pads were thicker now.
This only made things worse--the brake lever is now unmovable. We are considering putting the old pads back on, but before we assume the pads are the problem, I am hoping for an opinion on what we may have done wrong in the process. I realize that scooters are different than cars, but it should have been a pretty easy repair. Could it be a failed caliper? Thanks!
