Kneel beside the front wheel, same side as brake disk, push caliper towards wheel firmly until caliper slides in. Pump front brake lever, it will be soft to non-existant, but after you pump it up, Congratulations! You just bled your front brake ! If you have to, do it twice, and your brake lever will be as stiff as it was brand new. CA Stu
