avid juicy pad problem

[d8mok]

Since my pads on my avid juicy 7 ultimates were worn out ive bought some ebc greens to replace them with.

Fitted the front all ok, but the lever pulls back too far still. Wheel spins freely. Do they need a bleed? they're 2 years old and have never been done?

The rear was far more problematic. When i pushed the pistons back into the caliper, i noticed that fluid leaked out of the lever near the reservoir. The brake feels firm and lever pull is good, but the wheel wont spin properly. First of all , will the seals be goose in the lever and do they need bleeding? How do i stop the rubbing? Im pretty sure the pistons are all the way in.

Yep, bleed them.

The pistons usually self-adjust after a few pumps, failing that, yes a bleedin's what's needed.
