my front brake has seized, one side has stuck while other moves, squeaks like mad and is starting t do my head in lol Halfords said sealed unit so can't take it apart so I took 2 screws out and force piston back down, now I needa get them bled before I know if it has worked. jus wondering if any1 has any tips that'll make sure it does work or help it to work what I could use before I re bleed and it turns out was waste of time xD thanks.
p.s will b taking t shop t bleed as I dot have the kit.
 
Halfords are wrong here, its not a sealed unit although it is a one piece brake i.e doesn't split in half like say Avids. You can replace every single bit of any hope brake. Sounds like you need new piston seals at least. To get at them requires a special tool to remove the bore cap and gain access to the pistons. Go to Hopes website,

There's some good video help here from resident ace Neil
