Guest N.KREFT Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 Have got a repair fit, but how do you get the pistons out? is it better to split the caliper and if so what is the part no.s for the new gaskets please? or is it a rubber seal?

JohnK Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 I would never splip a caliper. I have used a 12v tyre compressor to get pistons out in the past. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrickTT Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 Pump them out using the brake pedal while they are still attached to the brake line. Go slow, and as they are nearly out you will see them start to twist a bit. They should just pull out the last bit by hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Need4Speed Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 DON'T use compressed air to get pistons out - I nearly lost fingers doing that once! And never split a caliper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
