Need help identifying brake pads for these Hope disc system...

3.2. Changing the brake pads
1. Remove the wheel.
2. Remove the split pins using pliers (and the pad retaining spring on the XC4 caliper)
and slide out the old pads from the caliper.
3. Retract the pistons on the XC4 and Closed 2 brakes by turning the brake lever
master cylinder screw adjuster anti clockwise. For the Open 2 and DH4 brakes
gently prise the pistons back using a plastic tire lever (or similar).
4. Clean the inside of the caliper with a clean rag and insert the new brake pads, (and
retaining spring on the XC4 caliper) and new split pins. The new pads must be
genuine Hope compatible pads for the appropriate caliper.
5. Refit the wheel and adjust the pad position, (see section 2.5).

Step three is the bit I didn't know. Time to redo

Yer, I was thinking opens in my head, had to go check. no need to redo, just turn the MC screw till the pistons slide back enough.

Loosened the MC it was quite seized so I'm guessing as this didn't have any impact that the problem lies elsewhere will give to LBS

Thanks for the advice tho

Most likely need a bleed after all this time. Easy enough to do yourself with dot fluid and a pair of syringes. Plenty of guides for that on the tube.

Additional note, could also be seals swollen.
