I'fe rebuilding calipers, I'd ALWAYS have them bead blasted, and even if there is a small hint of rust on the pistons, I bin them.

The easiest way to change dust seals, is to remove the old ones and fit new ones. So I'm told :) fook me your a clever lad, next thing will be you telling us the best way to remove pistons is to pump them out with the brake pedal,lol. |
