rider Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 It was the first time I have rebuilt a caliper and I'll probably do the two rear ones then that'll be it for me. Its more a case of another never done that before ticked and one thing I'd not be desperately yearning about repeating in years to come.

Scooter Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 The rears are easier for everyone as the piston can be pushed out via the hole the brake hose attaches to. The rubber seal is a pain on the jspecs especially compared to the uks, the metal rings test your patience for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Annabella Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 Agreed it's a faff, easier with two pairs of hands getting the clip and dust boot in, and yes a spare dust boot is advisable! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooter Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 Filing/smoothing the ends can help stop damage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
