Hi folks, looking for some advice. Just changed discs and went to fit pads but the calliper won't compress. Any ideas welcome

Are you using a proper piston retractor?
Try slacking the bleed nipple to allow fluid to bleed out as the piston retracts.

It will be all right in the end. If it isn't all right yet, then it is not yet the end..

Nice one. :broon:
Don't forget to check the reservoir: the level may need reducing after pistons are retracted.
