Can air get into the system when the calliper is taken off for a few days? No pipes were disconnected but had to push pistons out on calliper to refit it. Did this by removing cap on brake fluid reservoir while i pushed them out. Brakes now have a bit more travel than they did. Dont know much about air locks and bleeding brakes if u hadn't guessed
