Hi there,

If the piston has not dropped out and there is no fluid leaking, back off the bleeder and carefully ease the pistons back in to the wheel cylinder, re fit the drum and re bleed that wheel.if the piston has dropped out you will need to do some cleaning and re assembling first so let me know what it is at.
