caliper troubles

Postby kizersozey » Sat Sep 12, 2009 12:35 am

as i was saying in another tread (limerick sign up tread),,,,,my caliper was leaking and was looking for replacement..seb came up trumps as he tells me he's a pair, but dad told me to srtip it down and check the seals, so off i went for an hour and found inner seal nipped from when i forced piston back in when changing pads, rust on the piston from lying up nipped the inner seal,,,lesson to be learnt when changing pads on fto if she was lying up for a while is to clean the piston before pushing it it.......im going to order from mitzy on monday a seal set to rebuild my caliper, saves trowing it out :) Thanks anyway guy's for help. think seal set is about 40yoyo's.
