Re: [Peugeot-L] Help piston stuck!

The piston must be cocked slightly in the bore. If you can figure out which side of the piston is the further out try tapping on it there lightly with a hammer. Once it is straight it should squeeze back normally. You may need to open the bleed screw, and I imagine the dust boot has come loose and will need to be re-clipped back in place. Good luck!
