RE: Brake Calipers

For anyone who has been following this thread I have been working hard on the front calliper pistons.

I tried the compressor but this did not work at all. I then tried knocking the pistons back into their callipers and they moved about 1mm. I then was able to move them back to their original position. I repeated this process several times and kept spraying with WD40. Over a time the pistons started to move a bit further. Eventually after approx 30 mins I was able to completely remove a piston. The moral of this story is, IF AT FIRST YOU DON'T SUCCEED, TRY, TRY, AGAIN.

Cheers
